Hello everyone,
I need some urgent advice, I have an appointment for H1B visa stamping at a canadian consulate. But now I am rethinking my plan of going out of US just to get the Passport stamped because of the risk of visa refusal or a long delay in processing.
I used to be in H1 status with the same employer but my H1 status expired earlier this year. Now I have a new H1 from the same employer for the same job. The reason I am trying to get an H1 stamp now is because I want to apply for an H4 for my spouse.
FYI- I am an I-485 adjustment applicant and awaiting my I-485 decision and I have used Advance Parole in the past to re-enter.

1) Are you aware of any issues that might come up during my CP for H1 in Canada? If there is a delay in processing, what are my options? (I cannot stay in canada more than a couple of days due to my job duties)

2) Do I really need an H1 stamped in my passport in order for my spouse to get an H4 visa?

Thanks in advance.
