I changed status from F1 to H1B after completing my Masters in the US. Went for H1B stamping at Toronto on 7/7 & got the visa without any issues.
At the window, I was asked to submit:
appointment letter
DS156
DS157
One picture
bank deposit slip (all 3 remaining copies)
passport
original I797 approval
During interview, the counselor asked for:
LCA copy
I129 petition copy
US diploma &
any previous passport(s) that had any US visa.
I was surprised that he didn't ask for employer letter, pay stub, I20/I94 copies or any other document.
Overall a very smooth procedure. My analysis is that if one has US education then stamping is much easier.
Please post if any of you have any specific questions & I'll be try my best to answer.
