Hi,
My wife is currently in US on H4 visa valid till sept 30 2023 with Indian passport. Recently she got her Canadian Citizenship & received her Canada Passport. We have to surrender Indian passport soon. So, we must get H4 stamping on Canadian Passport. I heard we can get stamped at any POE or CBP. I have the extension for H1B i797 approval, but I have not yet stamped my passport. We simply want to get her Stamping for now, is it advisable to get stamping at POE/CBP in our scenario? Or we should only get stamping through consular appt. Either in Canada or India.
Also, Should we apply for H4 EAD after getting H4 stamping on Canadian passport & surrender Indian Passport or Can we apply before getting stamped and applying for OCI ?
