H1B and I-824
Is it a good idea to use the form I-824 (Application for action on an
approved application or petition) to request that a US consulate be
notified of the approval of the H1B petition (so that it probably be
easier to get an H1B visa on the passport in my own country, when the
application for H1B visa was filed in the US)?
The fee for this application (I-824) is $140.
Is it equivalent to specify the consulate to be notified on the I-129
form?
Thank you?

Re: H1B and I-824
It is almost equivalent. I filed my I-129 together with an I-824 because I
wanted to make clear that I was seeking an extension of status inside the
US, and only wanted the consulate notified so that I could pick up a visa
later.
If you request consular notification right on the I-129, there is a chance
that the adjudicator misunderstands what you want, and sends you an
approval without a new I-94.

FWIW, I generally file an I-824 only when I know that the post will
require direct notification or when there is an issue with the original
approval notice. Posts are instructed to accept the original approval
notice as proof of petition approval absent specific reasons to require
other proof.

Consular notification has, or at least had in the past, another advantage:
a friend of mine didn't realize he needed the approval notice. So he left
it safely at home and went to Paris. They gave him an H-1B visa without
a hassle, just based on the notification (this was an initial H-1B, so
consular notification was automatic).
In today's post-9/11 world, I have some doubts that they would still do
that, but in his case it was a very nice backup.
