Hi all,
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 have H1 status with the same employer but my H1 status expired earlier this year and then I had status as an I-485 adjustee. I also used EAD and Advance Parole during this period.
After my EAD expired, I got a new H1 (same employer, same job as previous H1) and that's the status I currently have.
1) Any issues that might come up during H1 interview in Canada? e.g. Will they ask for non-immigrant intent? My most recent I-94 says- "Paroled to Resume Adjustment of Status".
2) Also, since my main qualification for job (B.E. degree from India) is from outside of US, can I get the degree evaluated in US and use the eval. report as evidence of sufficient qualification for the job?
3) If I get bad luck in canada hope not), How long will it take to get the visa at the Chennai consulate, India?
Thanks in advance.
