An employer in the U.S. filed an H1B cap case for me several months ago. At the time it was filed, I was living in India, and the employer asked for the consulate in Hyderabad to be notified if the petition is approved. Now, the petition has been approved, but I am working in Singapore. Can I get my H1B visa stamping done at the U.S. embassy in Singapore?

Answer

Generally speaking, if the local consulate allows for third country nationals to apply, it is possible to apply for a visa at a consulate different from the one listed on the initial petition. (28.Oct.2021)
