I’m Greek and currently on H1B visa, which expires 9/30/2023 but my visa stamp expires on June 6th 2022. Im planning visit Greece in July and need a Visa appointment in the US embassy in Athens but there are no appointments available. If I don’t get the new stamp on my passport I won’t be able to get back to the US. I read on their website that instead of appointments, the US embassy accepts the documentation via mail and then send you back the passport stamped. Has anyone heard of this before?

That’s right, u can’t come back in US without a valid stamp. That’s the unfortunate predicament a lot of immigrants are facing. Expired visa n no appointments in home country for stamping.
The second option is called Dropbox, which u may be eligible. I think even that needs an appointment, check the local embassy for availability.
