Hey, I am planning to visit India for H1B Visa stamp. I am yet to pay fee for booking the Interview slot.
Anyone who is able to see the slots available can you please share of dates are available in early May for any consulates in India?

Thanks in advance!

You have to pay the fee and then keep checking availability. Slots open up due to cancellations every now and then. If you're looking ahead to later in the year (Q4), then you might have better luck. Your other option is to have some travel agent or the like keep monitoring throughout the day (for May). You'll need to share credentials with them for ustraveldocs, so keep that in mind before venturing down that path.

No slots are available.

There is a group on telegram that you may want to join to get real time updates on available slots

Forget May, you’d be lucky if you find a slot this year. Keep checking a couple of times everyday and you may find something if you are lucky

Can anyone help me with the group name in telegram which was referred above ?

Thank you!

Honestly, take caution. Several people I know went to India and have been stuck there after their interviews were cancelled. If you're Dropbox eligible maybe you'll have better luck but even that is unpredictable.

Who is eligible for drop box?

For most visa renewals (2nd term), you’re eligible for Dropbox if you stick with same Consolate as your 1st stamping. It is determined when you’re filling out questionnaire on CGI Federal website for visa appointment.

Is this problem exists only for visa interview or even for drop box?

Both

Welcome to visa stamping job! You need to be spending 40 hour/week to search interview/date availability. Note that this is a volunteer job and no compensation attached to it.
