H-1B Visa Stamping before the visa start date

[abhinav1737]

Hello All,

A quick question?
Can I drop off my passport and all documents related to my H-1B stamping a couple of days before my visa start date?
For Example, my H-1B visa start date is 03-31-2022 (mm-dd-yyyy) and I’m planning to drop off my passport from stamping on 03-29-2022 at 15:15 pm.
Would I get my passport stamped/visa stamping? Or would it be an issue for my case since I have dropped my passport a couple days early?
Please advise!

Thank you!

This is not an issue. If your application is processed before the start date on your petition, your visa may be issued with the same start date.
