Any Canadians on an H visa know about the following?
I currently have no stamp in my passport and I'm somewhat concerned that I'm supposed to have one.
My "story":
+Canadian citizen
+currently on 2nd H visa good until 2006
+no stamp in passport currently (entered US in 1998 on a TN, passport renewed since, all subsequent visas renewed while in US)
+have travelled to Canada a couple times on 1st H visa for 2-3 weeks
+have always presented passport plus complete I-797 w. attached I-94 at US border when re-entering from Canada
+in the I-140/I-485 stage currently (have EAD but continuing to work under H)
I've never been given a stamp at the border for the H visa -- maybe I was supposed to go into the immigration building to ask for one? Should I request a stamp at the border next time? Am I supposed to send my passport somewhere to do this if I'm not planning to be at the border (although I can't believe our lawyer wouldn't have mentioned this)?
Any comments / thoughts on this would be much appreciated!
ETA
