H1 visa stamping

[onion500]

I got my H1 visa here in the US a few months back. However I need to get my passport stamped. Can some one advise a consulate that is pretty hassle free. I was thinking of Mexico, Canada or Chennai. What do you suggest? How long does it take to get the passport back? What documents do we need to take to get our passport stamped?

I also know of another person with J1 and wanting to get his passport stampd too.

I would appreciate any information about consulates for getting H1 and J1 stamped.

Thanks

If you have previous H1 stamping from home country or if you have US education then Canada should be fine. But if you don't have either, then home country is better option.

Ottawa, Canada is a good option. Make sure you were never out of status (F1/OPT/H1 etc.)
List of documents would be on consulate web site or research the threads and you'll find tons of info.
