Hey Guys,

I just want to check if any of you guys have got their H1-B visa stamping from Canada recently. I was on student visa and now on H1-B. My student visa is already expired but I never went out of USA to get my Visa Stamping for H1-B.

My questions:

Is it safe to go to Canada for H1-B visa stamping?
Is there any issue about going to Canada for fresh H1-B stamping?

Thanks
 
my experience at Toronto US consulate

was on F1 and OPT in Biotech field. I got H1 approval from a Research Non Profit Organization.

Mean while, I got my Canadian PR and landed recently in Toronto
and took an appointment for H1 B stamping.

Everything went well and they took index finger prints and
told me that 3-4 weeks for clearence from Washington DC.

Any body experienced the same situation @ Toronto US onsulate.
If so how many days they took to stamp H1?

It seems my profession is listed in TAL, TEchnology ALert list.

I have submitted all required documentation, Am I short of some thing which i overlooked?

When I took the apointment over phone they told me that its a matter of 2-3 days for clearance after taking finger prints.
But when I went to consulate in person its 3-4 weeks for stamping.

I am working now and took only a week off but Its tough for me to afford 3-4 weeks off i am little bit concerned about the time they take.

I appreciate if any body can share info with similar situation

My question is what they decided on my application? Some body here mentioned that they take finger prints only when they decided to give stamping Is that right?

thanks in advance
 
Hi Jaxen,

Thanks for the reply.

Do you have any idea how long it takes to get result from FBI.

Actually, I submitted Finger Prints for My canadian PR. Does it helps anyway internally? So that FBI report comes early and i can call them earlier than 3 weeks. I am just curious ................

I have filed H-4 stamping also for my spouse. Visa officer told, any one can come with passports and I-797's after getting clearance.

In such case what do you think like there won't be any interview for me again.
