Indian_H1b_Visa Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi, I am trying to find out if me and my wife can go to Merida, Mexico for our respective H1b visa stampings. Here is some background information. About Me: Profession: Software Engineer Education: Bachelors and masters from India. 8th year of H1b visa Have I-140 from previous employer Last stamping in Jan 2014 in Vancouver, BC, Canada for Previous employer. India visit in Feb 2014 Changed employer and took up a full-time position in July 2014. Old employer's Visa expired in Sept 2014 Current employer's I-797 valid until mid 2017 About my wife: Profession: Physician 8th year of H1b visa Has I-140 with current employer and is a full-time employee. India visit in Feb 2014 and got her visa stamping done (for the same employer). Visa expired in June 2014 Current I-797 valid until mid 2017 The US Consulate of Merida states in the "Who can Apply?" section that : Third Country Nationals* residing in the United States may apply to renew a visa in any category except B1/B2 or H2. NOTE – The applicant must apply to renew in the same visa category and cannot apply in a different category.We both were never out of status. I came across another link which vaguely says that the previous stamping needs to be in home country. So, I am kind of concerned and trying to find out if I am eligible to go to Merida, MEX. As my previous stamping was in Canada (And for a different employer). Thanks in advance for your time. Link to comment
