Without Masters in USA, can I goto Canada,Vancouver for H1b stamping

[soundsgood]

Hi,

I came to USA on H1B and I changed the employer. My h1b has been transferred and got validity till May2013. My Visa stamping expires by Sept First 2011. I don't have masters from US and As I did H1b visa transfer, am I eligible to go Canada,Vancouver for stamping?

Appreciate your help.

No

Yes. Since you are getting stamped for the same visa class as before (h1b), you are eligible to go to canada or Mex.

Hi,

If you done you first H-1B stamping home country, then you can go to canada for your second H-1B stamping.

H1B stamping has nothing to do with your going to Canada for Visa intrvw

There is no proper and fixed guideline followed but in most cases they create problem for thoes who entered US on some other visa class and then get H1 and want to get in stamped in Mexico or Canada.

BUT

If first time you entered US on H1 itslef then it does not matter where you go fro 2nd stamping.

Thank you all. I entered USA on H1b and I had first H1b stamping from home country India @ Chennai.

You should be fine, I guess! Mostly whenever I have heard it's about first time stamping! Good luck!

[sanjivvinaik]

In that case you are good to go @ any consulate for H1 stamping.

I moved from L1B to H1B on Oct 07. I did not go for stamping since then. Do you see if there is any problem for me if i go to Canada for my first H1B visa stamping. My first L1 was stamped in India. any suggestions?

[sanjivvinaik]

If you go from L1 to H1B stamping then i do not think you have US / Canada Masters and as you mentioned it will be your first H1 stamping so your chances are HIGH where you can be asked to go to your home country for stamping.

In these times i would not take that chances but again it all depends on your luck.
