Hi:
I am a Chinese and came to the US on F-1 visa. I do not have H-1B visa in my passport. I need to land in Canada before September. Here are my questions:
1. I plan to go through Buffalo to Canada and get all the necessary paper work done and come back. How many days do I need? Can I leave a US address for them to mail me any cards and documents I will apply there? I have read here one person did leave a US address. Any body else has done so?
2. Do I need a visa to come back to the US? Will they question me regarding the visa since my passport will show my Canadian PR status? Will I be able to get multi-entry visa?
3. I-94. Should I give to the border officials at either side? If they do take my I-94 when crossing border, my h-1B visa that I will get in Canada will be proof of my continuous stay in the US. Am I right?
Thanks in advance for your response. Any other pointers will be highly appreciated.
