I need to get my H1B stamped and the US embassy in my home country (Delhi/ India) doesn’t have any appointments at all for the entirety of 2022 and beyond. Is there any way around this or am I stuck in the US for the foreseeable future?

You are stuck!

There is a telegram group where they discuss on the availability… you need to be active in the group and definitely you may get dates.
Personally I have done it in the past and was able to get stamping dates, but that was in July of this year. But definitely join the group.

Hahhahah

In the same boat. We are stuck!

I think the appointments are being opened up now. Check regularly. Try other embassies like Hyderabad/Kolkata/Mumbai.

Also have heard of several friends getting appointments through “agents” in India. Might work for you. Sorry about this OP, very frustrating to go through immigration in the US. Hope it gets easier for the hundreds of thousands of us :(

Mexico. I know several folks who got it stamped in Mexico recently.

Yeah, people do Canada as well. But for the first stamping especially, it’s recommended that you get it in your home country. And as with everything else in india, the wait for this is never ending now with covid.

Whole of 2022? That can't be right - maybe they haven't opened up for the later months. I know someone who recently found a mid Mar slot in Delhi. Another friend told me a few days back that he could see appointments in March.

It's a pain, so good luck OP! It is frustrating to say the least. As others suggested, try agents who can get slots for you

How flexible is Deloitte with the start date because of H1b processing time? I signed the offer mid-may for July 12 because it seemed realistic enough for premium H1b transfer. But the lawyers seem slower than what I was used to and July 12 does not seem likely. Is this going to be a problem?

Anyone filed h1b in regular processing and changed to premium? If so, can you please help with the process and approvals required?
