I got laid off a few weeks ago. I am 30 days into my grace period.
My passport expires in less than 6 months and I want to do a tatkal application to renew the passport, so that I am ready for the visa transfer when I find another job.
Can I use my last employer's i797(valid through 2025, obv not valid anymore since I got laid off) as "copy of the valid status in the USA" document? Has anybody done this? I am not sure how deep Indian consulate goes into checking the validity of the visa documents.
I would be submitting the application to Indian consulate in SFThanks for your help!
Passport renewal question. Laid off. Don't have a valid i797.

Sorry I have written my original question very poorly. It is mainly this -> Which document can I use as a proof of "US legal status" for my indian passport renewal - 2 options I have are - 1) i797 which has validity till sept 2025 printed on it, but since I am laid off it's not a "valid" document anymore. 2) The H1b stamp on my passport which has the same date as my i797.
