If you are going to Canada or Mexico for visa stamp, you have to file I 824, the purpose of form: This form will be used to request a duplicate approval notice, to request approval notice to another U.S. Consulate; and to request notice to a U.S. Consulate for derivative visas to family members.
Where to File: This form should be filed with the USCIS Office that approved the original application or petition.
Filing Fee: $195
 
H1b Approved - Needed Help for Stamping

Thanks !! Can I go to canada or mexico for stamping. How much time it will take to get the approval for I-824. Is there any premimum processing for I-824 approval. Or should I need to go to India only? Without I-824 approval can I go for stamping in different country is that possible? OR Can I extent my J1 status for another 6 months (I have six months left) Is that possible now? :confused:

Please advice this is very urgent I don't have time I have to decide fast

Thanks,
Hiran

NO Or should I need to go to India only (now it only for India unless you get your I 824 approval for other consulate)? Without I-824 approval can I go for stamping in different country is that possible? If you go with out I-824, counsel may not entertain you for a visa stamping. OR Can I extent my J1 status for another 6 months (I have six months left) Is that possible now? :confused:
