I already have an appointment at the US consulate there to have the visa stamped on my passport (appointment is scheduled for July 7) It was never required i file a I-824, however i have come accross this form and did not know if it is mantadory to do prior to me appointment. Thank you.

Re: I-824

Generally, adjudication of I-824 takes a very long time, more than 30 days. Therefore applicants with approved H1B must make every effort to make an appointment in their home country. Some U.S consulate may require prior approval of I-824.

If you have additional questions, you are welcome to contact me directly.
