Excuse me? H1 stamping in Canada; Confused; Please help

Hi, I have an appointment for my H1-B stamping on Wednesday. This is my 7th year on a 1 year extension expiring in April/2007.

I am confused .... Currently I am working with Company A and i have joined this company along with taking my 7 th year extension. I have got this 1 year of H1-B extension with Company A because of my labor filed and pending more than 365 days with Company B (previous employer).

My company A is recommending me not to go to Canada at the moment and instead recommending me to file 3 year of H1-B extension as my 140 is approved with Company A (my current employer). My current employer feels that getting this 3 year extension stamped on the passport (based on their own 140 approval notice )would be easier as compared to showing Company B's labor proof to get visa stamped.

I have to go to India as i have an urgency. Would there be a problem getting this 1 year extension stamped on the passport under above circumstances ?

Thanks,

do you mean you used to work for B....and got 7th year extension because of a labor pending by them??


and now you joined A.....who must have filed your H1 transfer??
 
no actually, i joined (jan/2006) my current employer A before the expiry of my 6th year(april/2006) and get my H1 approval notice till 7th year i.e April/2007.

i got april/2007 based on my pending labor older than 365 days from previous employer B.
 
very risky option man

I would recommend that you dont go. I cancelled mine in a similar situation. Not worth the risk
 
hmmm .... i am confused why do the USCIS then approve the I-797. I really wanted to understand if it's our fear OR is it truely risky ?

Thanks,

actually it depends on your priority.....if going out of usa is your priority then you can do it....

if staying in usa without taking any risk of not able to enter is it, then you need to evaluate your situation since it may be unique and left to interpretation of the immigration officer when you go for visa stamping...

even though there is a 95% chance that you will get visa stamped....but if i was in your situation....i will not take that 5% chance...

you need to have a labor approved from your current employer to be on safe side.....

i would like to hear comments from others since i do not see a strong reason for the consulate to deny the visa??
 
I would wait to hear as if i decided to go, i have to leave on Tuesday for Wed appointment.

Thanks.
