Drop Box Facility

 
I was browsing through the site and found it extremely useful. I have a question here. I got my H-1B papers approved and would like to go for stamping. So far, I have not traveled out of India. Can I use the drop-box facility offered by the TT Services branch office in Bangalore? I have heard that H-1B applicants can use the drop-box facility to submit documents for stamping and need not go to the Consulate. The drop-box procedures mentioned in the Chennai Consulate web site do not seem to endorse this view. I am a bit confused. An early reply to my query would be extremely helpful.

Yes, you can use the drop-box facility in Bangalore. The US Consulate in Chennai has scrapped the drop-box facility. Its approved body, the TT Services, however, collects documents for stamping in Banglaore, Chennai and Hyderabad. 

The address is: 107 Raheja Chambers, 12 Museum Road, Bangalore-1. 
The phone number is: 5550112.

I have to go for H-1B stamping. Is there any drop-box facility in Bangalore as in Chennai?

The drop box facility is available in Bangalore. TT Services has recently opened a branch office in Bangalore. The address is 107 Raheja Chambers, 12 Museum Road, Bangalore-1. The phone number is: 5550112. You need to submit the approved visa petition and the relevant documents needed for H-1B stamping at the branch office. (See article Stamping Requirements on the Assureconsulting.com site). These will then be forwarded to TT Services, Chennai. The entire process takes five working days approximately.
