H1B Visa Revalidation

[jugalr]

Hello Sir,

This forum is very useful for people like me. I have some concerns regarding my H1b revalidation.
1. I have been in this country for 8 years
2. My I-94 expired on october 2001 and after that i have never left US.
3. I have all my Paystubs, W2 and IT return
4. My I-140 is cleared and have my 3 years visa which starts from May 2007.
5. I have never been out of status during this time.
6. Prior coming into US i have been to these countries Qatar and Oman
will these be an issue if i go for visa validation at India or in Canada?

Any information regarding this is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jugal

security check

hi,

ive heard that if in the past 10 yrs , if we have visited some of the flagged muslim countries, then we cud be selected for additional security chk.

my cousin, visited Dubai 4 yrs ago. He has already had 3 visa stampings in chennai before. but last year, they put him on security check. his trip was delayed by 1.5 months, but it came back +ve in the end.

we have to be ready for anything. visit to muslim countries. and also having last/first names similar to flagged muslim names.

thx
