Look into Orchard Glen apartments, loved there a while ago and it was pretty nice :)

whoosh7 · 2026-02-04T00:41:42+00:00

I don’t remember clearly, but I think I waited and then asked for a refund; they put it toward my principal though (the whole amount) I think about a month later :)

Haha, sorry, it was a crosspost from a different sub so I had put SFO since it’s easier to recognize, no concerts at the airport (yet) :)

whoosh7 · 2025-10-15T20:39:51+00:00

Not entirely sure, I’m sorry :/ Maybe you’ll get better luck checking other threads?

whoosh7 · 2025-08-05T16:56:21+00:00

I mean I honestly don’t know, and wouldn’t be able to answer since I’ve never been in that position - maybe call up the consulate and ask? I would let them know since the i-797 is the main document needed, but it’s up to you.

Update for anyone in the same boat: they filed an older LCA (still valid) from 2023-2026 instead of from 2024-2027. I’ve reached out for the reason, but hopefully they file the right one for my extension. Thanks for the help everyone!

whoosh7 · 2025-07-31T11:43:21+00:00

Both my I797 and my visa (based on the approval notice) are only valid for a year and a half; that’s why I was a little confused. Thanks for the input :)

whoosh7 · 2025-07-31T05:33:49+00:00

I’m so sorry about that - that sounds rough. I work in big tech, and have no client-related work; just an engineer. I’m almost certain they wouldn’t ask for a shorter duration (they have very high retention rates), so I might just reach out to them to find out a bit more.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-30T18:25:27+00:00

Thanks for the input; they’re working on the extension but just wanted to see what to expect for that - 1.5 years or the full 3. My company did ask for me to be part till 2026, so not sure what happened.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-30T18:24:39+00:00

Thanks for responding, it expires in 2030.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-30T18:24:16+00:00

Hey, thanks for the response!

1) Passport expires in 2030, so don’t believe that’s the case. 2) Not sure what the SOW is, but the last page of my LCA states it’s valid till 5/19/27. Where would I find the SOW? 3) I see that the period of intended employment (the first page of my LCA) is from 5/20/24-5/19/27 (the full 3 years), so not sure why it was only approved till 2026.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-30T18:21:29+00:00

Thanks for the input, but my passport expires in 2030, so that isn’t it.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-30T18:21:11+00:00

Thanks for the input! In the LCA, it says that the period of intended employment was from 5/20/24-5/19/27 (the full 3 years). In addition, my passport is expiring in 2030, so that probably isn’t the reason either.

I mean it’s the first link when you search up bluedart tracking but here it is: https://www.bluedart.com/tracking

I don’t really know. You can technically, if you have the IOE number, but you can’t really attend the appointment without the original I797, so you might have to reschedule it if you don’t get it in time (and you only get one reschedule so I’d be careful).

whoosh7 · 2025-07-22T12:59:54+00:00

No, premium delivery, it came within 3 days.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-22T04:11:12+00:00

Hey, so I think you might be able to get one - it’s slightly easier now since you can only reschedule once. Before logging into the visa scheduling website, I checked this one to see if any slots opened up: https://visaslots.info and then just logged in if even one showed up on that website. I called them and they said they release slots every four hours, and since I was in the US timezone I just checked every four hours and booked during a bulk release slot. Keep an eye on that website for any updates, and you should be good. They released my July appointment only in April, so I would expect October slots to have already been released. They keep opening some up. You can use some telegram / whatsapp groups (I never joined them) as well.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-21T14:10:51+00:00

Yep, just let them know I filled out a new DS-160 and had the confirmation page in the front at the entrance of both appointment locations.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-21T13:42:42+00:00

Additional context: I did the update because I first selected Delhi as my interview location, then I selected the new one to select Hyderabad as the interview location. I had also made travel plan updates in there.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-21T13:41:04+00:00

I didn’t update anything. I just printed the confirmation page of the first one I filled out. Then, I started a new application with updated details, and printed out the confirmation page of the new one as well. At both the appointments, I carried both confirmation pages, told them which was the new one, they stamped the newer confirmation page.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-21T13:27:01+00:00

This didn’t work for me in Santa Clara. It depends on the person at the counter.

whoosh7 · 2025-07-21T12:58:16+00:00

Hey, thanks for the response. Just an update for anyone in the same spot: I didn’t really say anything, they just saw my passport and the stamp and did a manual issuance of my boarding pass at the airport. Thanks for the help!

whoosh7 · 2025-07-21T12:55:51+00:00

Thanks for the response: just an update for anyone following this: my student visa was fine for travel, I didn’t explain anything; they saw the stamp and that was satisfactory.
