Double Masters and Visa stamping in canada

Recommended Posts

Here is my situation. I did my master's in computer science in 2012, my F1 VISA expired in Dec 2014 (got only 4 yrs of F1 VISA) my OPT expired in Mar-2015 . My H-1B did not get picked in 2014. So I applied for my second Master's in Information Technology in April-2015 in the same university (not a good university though). I am maintaining my f1 SEVIS active without going out of status at anytime. This year (2015) I applied for my H-1B and got approved. Now here comes the most difficult part - going for Visa stamping. My Question is, am I eligible for going to Canada and get my H1 stamping  done and what type of consequences I may face? I know I am in a bad phase. so can somebody please suggest me in a right path?

HI,

 

Exactly same situation, I maintained my F1 status for 4 years after my visa expired and worked on CPT. I got my first time H1B approved yesterday at Ottawa. Your good to go.  No issues. As far as you have JOB, END CLIENT LETTER is MUST and all genuine employer/petitioner documentation. you may reach me out incase any details.
