If 1. your currently stamped visa will be valid at the time if reentry and 2. it’s same category (h1b) you don’t need to go for stamping. If both 1&2 are not met, schedule stamping appointment now, you should be able to get it done in a week.

In India before re entering US. I am not sure because i don’t think one week is enough to get it stamped. Please help

You will need to get visa stamped

I will be a dropbox and not a interview. I am not sure how much time do they take to process

Dropbox is convenient but you won’t have your passport delivered in a week. Allow at least 2 weeks for dropbox. If you already know your travel plans, better to schedule interview and have a predictable schedule.

If your visa is valid you can renter

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I.

This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?
