Consulates are shut right?

They are all shut i think and the US cut it's staff in its embassy and consulates too so except maybe the embassy in Delhi, the rest are not going to be fully capacity for a while I think.

My Dropbox appointment for June 8 hasn't been cancelled yet

Be prepared for cancellation. Only saying it based on experience so far in 2021. I hope things get better in India.

even if it is not cancelled...do not travel as they will issue 221 g citing ban..

I am in the same boat and was not recommended to travel. As long there is a travel ban in place only emergency appointments are allowed. Work visa stamping does not qualify for emergency appointments unfortunately. Some got an appointment in the U.S. consulate in Dubai but there a lot of uncertainty regarding who qualifies ( UAE vs Indian citizens).

Could anyone provide me with a quick analysis on emissions for cars? My country is considering to lower the speed limit in the night to 100 km/h (currently 130 km/h on some highways).

I can imagine old cars would be more polluting but I doubt if there would be a difference for modern cars? And what about fuel?

If I accept one of these offers, that H1b transfer will take another 2months. Will resigning from A burn the bridges? How should I handle this?
