Got visa after 1 month After sending the DS-157 form and the answers to the questions in pink slip, my father got his passport after 1 month. He got the visa stamped for 1 year. Hope this gives relief to people who are in the same boat.

Mexico visa This is a redundant question but could you find out if your friend had taken a mexican visa or if he got a permit at the crossing? I have read many posts on the forum that say we do not need a visa. I am fishing for any new changes in the policy. Thanks.

I have an appointment scheduled in Tijuana in May for H1 revalidation. All documents are in great shape, so I am not concerned about that. 2 years ago (2005), on the way back from India, we had a layover in Dubai for 14 hours during which we were provided with hotel accommodation by Emirates. So...

I changed employers 4 months ago, and have not yet had a chance to get the new H1 stamped. Is it required to get the new visa stamping. The existing H1 stamping in my passport (for the previous employer) is valid for 1 more year. I am planning on a Carribean cruise. Can I re-enter the US with...
