[laxrao69]

Which is the best place to get visa renewal based on the current trend?

1. Canada or Mexico?

1. Unless they've changed the rules, I believe you can only do renewal in Mexico if your first stamping was done in Mexico. You should check their website.
   
2. I've done my H1B stamping twice in Vancouver and I didn't have any problems. My friends all did theirs in Toronto/Ottawa and told me to choose those places. I couldn't get a spot, and Vancouver was closer to me so I chose Vancouver and never had a problem.

Google 'US Embassy, Mexico'. It will give you the link to the different consulates/embassies in Mexico. Look for the visa section on the website and you'll get the details.

Example: This is the link to the Tijuana consulate - http://tijuana.usconsulate.gov/who_can_apply_visa.html

It has a section which says Who Cannot Apply in Mexico:
