If you re-read my post fully you may conclude that I'm just quoting IV's focused goal, which does not help me or people like me stuck in name check and pbec at all.

I totally see your point. IV folks are doing really a great job for visa number increase and get rid of retrogression. Hats off to them. There's no doubt about what they have done in such a limited time. Having said that, I also know that they do NOT focus on two things among other things -...

I don't contribute too much but have been silent reader all along. I think I would agree with tallisagoo's and WellWisher's this assessment, although I have read all of UN's posts and learnt a great deal from them. But lately, I think he's gone more narcissistic and highly condescending. UN...

residency issue If I (having Canadian PR card, living and working in the US on H1B, landed and returned in March 2005) go to Canada for vacation for one month in a year, and work for the US employer from Canada during my stay in Canada: 1. Can I claim the one month I lived in Canada towards...

ICARUS - Philadelphia BPC Hi Icarus, We would like to make a request. Could you please use your contacts and suggest somebody from Philedelphia BPC to shed some light on the inside processing of PBPC? We would highly appreciate that. Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs.

My interview was at 8:30 AM. We picked up our passports at 3:00 PM, the same day. I was the 10th applicant that day and all 9 applicants before me got their visas (8 H1s and 1 F1). All of them picked up their stamped passports the same day. I don't know about the guys who had appointment at...

They may be right, but I rented a car and landed. The Canadian immigration and customs people knew that I drove a rental car, but nobody said anything negative about it. Try other car rental companies if Avis does not allow.

Hi gc212, Yes, I did make an appointment. I'm not sure if you can do it otherwise. Please double check.

Hi bhand, If you are asking me, they did not write "Permanent Resident of Canada" on my visa. They just stamped my passport with a stamp saying "Immigration Canada", with the date. The guy did write one number that refers to my copr, I guess.

H1B, H4 visa stamping experience in Vancouver We drove to Vancouver from Seattle in a rental car. We also finished our Canadian PR landing formalities at the border. For H1, H4 re-stamping at the US consulate in Vacouver, our experience was consistent with what others (who were not subject...

Landing at the Peace Arch, Vancouver border and H1, H4 visa stamping experience We landed at the Peace Arch, Vancouver border last weekend and got our passports stamped (second H1B, H4) at the US consulate. The Canadian landing formalities and US visa stamping process were pretty smooth. We...

Hotel/motel near the US consulate in Vancouver Can somebody suggest a reasonably priced hotel/motel that is really close to the Vancouver US consulate? I have to go there for H1b visa stamping..

Thanks, pnrt and cadesi for the information.

h1b visa appointment wait time Hi pnrt, Do you know the average wait time these days at Vancouver to get the appointment for H1B visa stamping? How long was it in your case? Thanks.

She is on H4 right now.. She is fine :). I'm just speculating on my part to have a safety net in case our 485 is denied in the future. She would be on H4 if 485 is denied.. So, she would be fine status-wise. However, the question was - IF she wants to apply for a job on her own and if she...

She might need J1 or other status in case the 485 is rejected for the primary applicant. Can she then change to J1 after filing 485 (and later denied)? Thanks for your response.

Can a spouse apply for a J1 visa when she has filed her 485 AOS application with her husband's 485 application? Is J1 purely non-immigratory visa like F1? Thanks.

Thanks, Jalma. In other words, you get to keep your landing papers (which you get before landing) after landing?

H1B stamping Hi Ginnu and others, If my visa stamp is valid, can I enter the US from Canada even though my second h1b visa in Canada is denied? Thus, say my visa in the pp is valid until Jan 1, 2005 and my h1b visa application in Canada is rejected on Dec 20, 2004 and if they don't cancel...

PR card pickup Hi smxhan, jalma, and others, In the event they ask you to come pick your PR card in person- what's the procedure to enter Canada again (after the first landing)? Do you apply for fresh Canadian visitor's visa or something? Thanks.
