Hello,
Presently, I am working in an Energy company on F-1 OPT visa and have obtained both OPT extension and H1-B visa this time. I am an Indian citizen and had obtained my F-1 visa from Chennai US consulate in December 2006. I graduated from MS in May 2008 and have been working in US since then.
Can I go to Canada to get my visa stamped instead of Chennai? I had read in some forums that it is preferred to go to US consulate of country of origin for the first H1-B stamping.
Please let me know whether this is true as Canada is very convenient to me.
