Hi

I am going to h1b renewal stamping to vancouver, CA on dec 28th, 2011 .. Please let me know if anyone is going there on that day ..

I was following murthy forums from past few days for EVC model candidates and I felt vancouver is better and tijuana is also ok. Nobody posted negative news at vancouver, hope it stays like that..

Thanks,

Sri

Please let me know if anyone is willing to share hotel expenses etc.. I will be going to vancouver on 27th dec for visa stamping.

Also, while going on visitors visa, should we buy to and fro flight tkt because I am not sure how much time it will take to get my passport . So I am planning to buy one-way tickets while going and returning back.. Usually at port of entry, they will ask return tickets for visitors visa in USA.. I am not sure if its the same case in canada.. Please advice..

Thanks,

Sri

Hi guys,

I am appearing on Dec 22 at Vancouver. I have a question, does change of client require H1-B amendment if place of current work differs from original petition. I got my H1B extension with client A and now I am with client B, if I appear for visa stamping, will Amendment be one of the items they require from us?

Thanks.

Hi Indiaeb2,

previously when they asked such question abt new client, showing new LCA would have been sufficient. I am not sure if the rules changed recently. You have to contact your lawyer abt that.

On a side note, I read in the forums that 8 people who went to calgary got admin processing yesterday. Calgary was fine until last week, but suddenly it took a U-turn.. So anybody going to Vancouver, I request them to please post their experiences after your interview..

Thanks,

Srikanth

Hey, I am Srinivas, I am planning to go Canada for first time stamping (F1-H1 & E-V-C).

I am working in St Louis, can I block my Visa date in Vancouver ?? will it be a issue?? because Toronto or Ottawa will be near to my location, so will they ask any questions like why did you come Vancouver for stamping?

Please reply me, so that I can block my Visa date in Feb 1st week

HI Blaze548,

You can attend in Vancouver....they wont ask like that even they ask you can say you visited some frnds in seattle ...i used to have the same question too when i started thinking abt the stamping in canada but that wont be the case...you are free to choose any consulate of your choice..

Thanks

Everybody got visa's. around 15 members got their visas on 28th and 29th. all of us were asked basic question, nobody was asked to provide single document other than Ds160, passport, i 797.

my questions:

who is ur employer

how long u have been with this company

did u work on opt before

what is ur job title

what is ur role

which university

which degee

visa is approved, it may take 3 business days

Sri11,

I went to visa on dec 28th also.. almost 90% of them are EVC model only .. and they asked same questions for everyone. One guy was delayed because of PIMS verification, he got delayed by 1 day. Usually PIMS verification is taking 1 or max 2 days in canada.. So either ways u need not worry, it may take a day more if u hav pims verification.

Good Luck,

Sri
