Nanduram Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hi, I came to US on F1 visa and later got my H1b in 2007. I went to Mexico to get my first H1b stamping in 2008. My 6yr H1b term expires this Sep 30 2013 and I already got another 3yr extension until 2016 since my I-140 is approved. My question is: Can I go to Canada/Mexico to get my visa stamping? I've read somewhere that I have to go my home country (INDIA) since my last H1b stamping was done in Mexico. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks. Link to comment
omshiv Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 You may go anywhere for stamping...Canada/Mexico/India doesnt matter. Link to comment
vishnu586 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 You can go to Canada/India/Mexico. I think even jamica. For the 1st time H1B stamping, we should not go to Mexico. Are there any other countries apart from the above 4, to get our visa stamped? Link to comment

jairichi Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 There is no law tht 1st time stamping for h1b cannot be done from mexico If you change from one visa to another you can not go to Mexico. Renewal of same visa can be done there. Link to comment

Incorrect I changed from F1 to h1 (1st time h1b stamping) in Mexico Unless you were out of status, there is no rule. If you think there is, posit it here. Link to comment
