My friend applied for H1B visa stamping in the US Consulate at Calcutta, India thru the drop-box facility available. They returned the passport without the visa stamp along with a letter saying that under Section 221(g), she will need to go to the consulate for a personal interview. The earliest appointment available thru the TTS services is July 6th, 2004. She needs to return to the USA this weekend. Her current H1B visa stamped on her passport is valid upto July 19,2004 and she was applying for the new H1B visa valid upto July 19,2005. Is it possible for her to enter the USA on her current visa stamped valid upto 7/19/04 and then apply at the Department of State or in Canada ?
