You can. But did you talk to Global Mobility team and PwC law ? No matter what people say here, you need to officially communicate to them even if your travel is for personal reasons.

Yes. Their answers are not too helpful.

If that's your home country

Home country is India but I am going to London to attend a wedding. This will be H1-B stamping for transfer of job.

You can. I got my first H1B stamping in London with no issues. Got my passport back in 3 days.

Ok, the rules may have changed. Can’t speak to that.

You can

Thanks. Did you get your stamping in London?

I went to London to visit friends and family (not business) in 2017 and got my visa stamped. Found the process pretty smooth. Make sure you keep a couple of weeks for passport to return (took 9-10 days for me).

Thanks ZS. I missed the last line. Yeah I’ll be there for 8 days.

You can get your visa stamped in any country’s US Consulate as long as they allow foreign national visa stamping. Very easy to find that out on their website or just sending an email to that consulate. Speaking from own experience and I was asked to look for this info on their website.

Thanks. It does say on the London US consulate website that anyone can apply.

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
