Got my I-797.. What's Next

[malemay]

I'm a canadian citizen currently in the US with a TN1 Visa. I applied for H1B visa and received my I-797c Notice.

What's next ? I have a lot of different answer if a speak my lawyer, US Consulate, or USCIS agent ?

Thanks

You can continue working in US. When you go to Canada the next time, visit US Consulate and get H1B visa stamped in your passport. I presume that your new H1B starts Oct 1 2009. So if you go to Canada now and get H1B stamped, you will be able to re-enter only after Oct 1st.

I would suggest that you get H1B visa stamped after Oct 1st.

I was told I can't take (don't need to) a appointment at the consulat since I'm Canadian citizen.
