Landing Deadline and H1 approval issue.

Hi all,

I am in US working on H1.
I recently received my PR- Canadian landing papers. Now I am supposed to land in canada by May 20th - as per my passport visa stamp.

I got married after my medical examination was completed. Filed my wife's docs, got her FP, medical, etc ... and in short the whole process took lot of time and lot of delay.

Now my problem.
My H1 extension has been filed long back, but I have not yet received my H1 approval.

As per the H1 extension speed and other ppls expereince, it looks like my approval will be issued any minute.

But without my H1 approval I cannot re-enter US. My PR landing deadline is approaching.

If I receive my H1 approval, I don't have any problem. I can easily go to Canada, get my PR stamping/formalities completed, get my H1 extension stamped and return back to US.

What should I do now ? Without H1 approval I cannot re-enter US. And to get my Canadian PR, I have to go to Canada.

Please help.

Mani
