Hi,
My current job, for which I have a H1 status/visa (first visa from Canada, second from Dept. of State within US), will end on June 30 and the next one will start on July 1. I will apply for transfer of H1 to the new employer in June 1st week. I plan to go for premium processing. Now my questions are:
1. Can I go to Canada to get a visa stamp for new (transferred) H1 in JUNE last week for a job that will only start on July 1, 2004? My last H1 visa for the current job was revalidated from Dept of State with the US by post. Or do I have to go to India after I start my new job, which would be expensive?
2. If I go to Canada I should I take a letter from my new employer or the current employer? Pay-stubs are of the current job is that ok?
3. If I get my H1 transferred by June last week, is it possible to revalidate it within the US from Dept of State? I have heard that they will stop revalidation after September.
Any useful information is welcome.
Thanks a lot,
WB
