H1 Visa stamping experience- Canada

H1b stamping in montreal with degree certificate

Hi all

I also have similar case as purab2000. Came to US in sept 2000 on F1. Have not yet got my degree certificate (completed the course work and thesis defense, just have to submit the documentation). Have been working since Feb 2004 on H1b. Can i go to Montreal, canada for my H1 b stamping. Is a degree certificate from US a must.

Please do advice as i need to schedule an appointment at the earliest. Will the degree certificate be required if i go to India.

Thanks in advance
Good luck to all

My passport H1 visa stamping has long expired. My H1 I797 approval validity is till March 14 2005. I have to land in Canada within the next one and half months for Canadian immigration. Given that my I797 validity is for another 2+ months, will it be possible to try get the US visa stamping done in Canada now ? In other words is there any rule that the I797 approval validity has to be at least 6 more months for the visa stamping ?

Hello All,

Has anyone recently registered in the nvars website to check the next Visa appointment availability at Ottawa, Canada consulate? or Is there any web link that shows the first available day? I am wondering whether any availability in January 2005 for H1 extension.
Here is the background. My current visa (stamped in the passport) is getting expired in the first week of Feb 2005 and expecting extended I-797 in the first week of Jan 2005. If possible, I am thinking of getting the extension stamped in the passport before Feb 2005 in Canada. When I visited the nvars website, it is asking for all the info even before it shows the availability calendar. Since I have n't received the I-797 yet, I cannot enter that info now.
Thanks in advance and any info is much appreciated.
 
New Kind of Restamping case

Hi guys

Please help me
My H1 was stamped in May 2002 (with expiry April 04) in New Delhi India but I came in October 2003
Now this company filed my extension in March which got approved in June 21st for which I never got the I797 (or any kind of papers, I got to know about the approval by checking status online with EAC #)

Now without these extension papers I got my Visa transfered to some other company for which I have I 797

Now I need to go to India but I want to stamp before that so I am going to Calgury, Canada, Please let me know if that is risky in absence of extension papers from my first company

Also I have my education from India which is
BA ( 3 year degree course)
PGDCA ( one year correspondance diploma course in Computer Applications)

I have 5 years of IT experience and education credentials/evaluation done by my current country

Please advise
Thank
 
Successful H1b Stamping from Toronto (first time: F1 to H1)

Hi..

F1 --> OPT --> H1b Approval Notice (I-797) --> H1b Stamp in Toronto.

The experience was good. As long as you have the documents they list you are good to go. Don't take any cell fones or electronic stuff with you, not even a calculator. They won't let you in with it and there's no place outside to keep it at.

Interview was on friday morning, got pasport back with the stamp on monday afternoon.

Cheers,

Please help - Stamping in Canada

Hi All,

Please help me.

Here are my details:

Visa Stamping Expiry: April 2005
I-94 Valid Until: April 2005
I-797 Extn Valid Until: April 2006

NOTE: My latest I-94 is the one in my passport that expires on April 2005 and NOT the one in

I-797 (because I went to India after I got this I-797, but while getting back at POE I forgot to

show my I-797 approval to get the date of April 2006 in my I-94).

Now I want to get H1B Stamping in Canada.

1. I hear that they won't give a new I-94 when I come back after getting stamping in Canada. Is

that true? (because if it's true then getting a stamp in Canada is of no use to me).

2. Would I be able to get stamping only within certain number days of current Visa Stamping expiry?

I'm very anxious. Please help.

In my best knowledge you should write no. I did the same when I went to Toronto to get my visa and I was in the same situation. If you have any doubts then consult a lawyer.
