sri.sachin24 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 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 Link to comment
indiaeb2 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 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. Link to comment
sri.sachin24 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 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 Link to comment

Please do post your experience....it plays a lot.. Thanks Link to comment

It will cost much less than applying for original H1 Link to comment

blaze548 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 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 Link to comment
sri11 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 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..

sri11 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi Vanc29, Thanks for your posting ..its really good news that 15 members got the stamping done...does any one these people are on EVC..appx how many would be..?? want to know how the situation is for EVC candidates... Thanks Link to comment
sri.sachin24 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 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 Link to comment
sri11 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 HI, Thanks much for your response...its really good sign that many EVC's are getting stamped.... Reg PIMS is there any way to check if our PIMS is updated or not.....can we do anything to update it.... Thanks Link to comment
