Its been a while that i visited this forum, i am also about to enter into my 7th year of H1. I was in canada last year to get my passport stamped, i was stuck there for over 2 months to get the clearance. Yesterday i heard from someone that consulate people are asking to send them papers , so...

Sorry to hear that, I can understand the stress you are going through right now. I went to Ottawa in Jan 2005 to get my H1 stamped and that was my first time going from F1 to H1, i was held there for over 2 months , I was able to get my passport stamped but the only difference between your's and...

Tanveer, If you plan to go to Canada, then plan accordingly, especially if yo are not canadian resident...for more info read my previous posts, you'll get a very good idea what i went through... goodluck Faisal

If your son is US citizen , he doesnt need canadian visa. Just carry his paper work(passport/birth certificate). Jus remember one thing , you never know how long will it take to get your passport stamped, so plan accordingly.. good luck

call from Toronto BigMonty, Dont be panic, usually consulate people call to confirm the appointment and aslo warn about the background check, they called me also and lots of other folks too. So dont worry about the call, take the all necessary docs with you. You should be ok... P.S : I dont...

What consulate r u going to

Yes I have to agree with tusharvk, wait if you can until your wife becomes perm employee. If you cant wait and really have to go then make sure she gets the employment letter stating that she'll be offered a perm position after she finishes her pharmacy exams. Again I am not sure how would...

The only tricky thing in your wife's case is her position with the company. I am not sure how would consulate people react after finding out that your wife is working as an intern. Is there any surity that she would be offered a full time position with that company after she completes her...

Who is holding her H1..?? Is it the same company for which she is doing her intership..?? How long has she been on H1.

Yes 30 day revalidation rule is still valid. Somewhere in the thread you'll find official link to the Homeland security site which talks about the revalidation. You can come back within 30 days provided you have not visited any US consulate and has not applied for non immigrant visa. It doesnt...

Sami, Read the thread from the beginning or just go through whatever I posted.

No it wasnt revalidation, this was my first time going from F1 to H1, and i am also pakistani national with canadian residency. Like I said before also there is no criteria on the basis of which they select which one has to go through the security clearance process. If you are going again for...

I had to go through a hard time when i tried to renter US without a VISA. They finger print and took my pics twice, xeroxed all the docs i was carrying and then sent me back to Canada. You can reneter US within 30 days if you have not passed 30 days, if you have not gone to the consulate for...

The best thing would be to read the thread from the beginning. I was stuck in canada because i was held for security clearance also know as Administrative Processing. I drove down there. my I-94 was attached to my H1B approval notice, they never took it out but on my way back to US they tore...

For all those people who are waiting on security clearance, dont loose hope , this security clearance takes sometime but you guys will get through. Here are few suggestions: Dont call embassy people everyday to inquire about your case status. The best way to approach to embassy folks or for...

Finally Outta Canada Hey Guys, I tried to post a message few days before also but for some reason my system crashed. Anyway i am finally out of Canada. It took 65 days to get my clearance and wasted no time to cross the border. I am back in States now. It was awfully painfull to spend those 65...

Hey Malik, It was an informative link, even though it aint a official DOS site but information was quite helpful. So if we believe that every word from that site is valid then yes once you apply for non immigrant visa then u wont be able to use 30 day revalidation rule. My suggestion to you...

A very good friend of mine rentered US within a week without any problem, BUT he didnt have the cancelled stamp on his pp(he infact rentered US before his consulate appointment date). Even when i tried to reneter US they did mention about 30 revalidation( i tried to enter after 7 weeks). I am...

Hello maliklongwait, I came to canada mainly because I had to land before 12th Feb(to claim my candian residency), ofcourse I had to get h1 visa to reneter US.( at that time i wasnt aware of 30 revalidation rule). If your name hit with their database query, then you have to go through security...
