Hello everyone,
Here is my case- I entered the USA on H4. 4 yrs later I changed my status from H4 to F1and joined MBA from a US university. Then while on OPT applied for H1 (yr 2008), and the H1 got denied. After receiving denial, I joined a college and got the I-20 (almost the same degree but different concentration). This year again I filed for H1 and received the approval. Now I have several questions and doubts-
1. Stamping- The latest stamp I have is of H4, as I never left the USA to get the F1 stamp. Now I am planning to go for H1 stamping to Canada. I need the advice if my history of changing statuses would pose any hindrance. FYI, I am permanent resident of Canada.
2. Documents- Since I am a consultant, what documents would be necessary for the stamping? Do I need a client letter to prove that I have a Project in hand? Any contracts b/w vendors and the clients etc etc…
3. Entry in the USA after Stamp- How soon can I enter in the USA before Oct 1st after the stamp is done?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
