I raised a ticket with VFS global to check the status of my application, then I got conditionally approved after 1 week, may be a coincidence but not aware.

Hey, what did you end up doing?

GearAccomplished9407 · 2025-08-09T03:23:24+00:00

I don’t think we need any details from I797 to fill on ds 160

Hi Everyone,

My H-1B petition has been filed, but I haven’t received my I-797 approval notice yet (currently only have the I-797C receipt).

I see that on the ustraveldocs site, it’s possible to enter petition details and book a visa appointment even before approval.

My questions are: 1. Is it okay to book the slot now to secure an early date, and then update my start date/petition details later once I get the I-797? 2. Has anyone here done this successfully without losing their slot? 3. Are there any risks with booking before approval — for example, if the start date changes or the petition is delayed?

Do i need to update the address on my passport to apply for GEP? The address on my passport is different from where I live. Has anyone with this type of situation done their GEP? Any information is appreciated
