first time h1b , f1- > h1 - canada or mexico
hi
i have a question about my going to toronto for frist time h1 stamping. This is the chornology of events in my case :
1) First F-1 visa expired on 31 May 2001, went to Mexico to get it extended until Dec 2001 along with the I-20 extension from my school (original I-20 was only until 31st May 2001).
2) Applied for OPT card in dec 2001 and OPT started on feb 2002 and expired in feb 2003.
3)Applied for H1b in dec 2002 but just received it in june 2003.
I have a masters degree and what do u guys on this forum think about my case ... was all the while my status legal ? and is it advisable to go to toronto for visa stamping... would the immigration officer ask me about why i chose mexico the first time and this time toronto...
Personally if i get denied its better to go to canada since i have friends there .. who could help me arrange my trip back to my home country...
thanks
