Questions Regarding I-797 and stamping at Ottawa

[siquadri]

Hi,

Question 1:

I have recently take FTE postion at Client company. The Client company (now my employer) is not providing me original I-797, they gave me the lower portion of it i.e I-94.

My employer's attorney says that the original needs to be with company and i can get a copy with a notary.

But my understanding is we need original at the time of stamping. Please explain if i am missing something.

Question 2:

I went for stamping in 2009 to ottawa. I had to pay some fee at scotia bank at that time. I say couple of ottawa stamping post and i dont see any mention of that.

So, is it not required any more.

Question 3:

On this website:

http://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/ss_country_welcome

I dont see where i can pay $150 to see appointment.

Question 4:

If i apply for canadian multiple visitor visa. How many days visa will i get. Last time i got 6 months visa. Is there possibility of getting 3 years visitor visa.

Question 5:

I am not sure when i would be able to go to canada for stamping. I many time do things improptu. So, i am thinking to have the canadian visa ready in my passport.

Is it free to reschedule appointment at US consulate Ottawa.

Appreciate reply for my questions.

Q1: You must have Original I-797 at the time of stamping. Don't take chance. Tell your employer that you will return it once you come back. Q2-5: I have no idea.
