Can I go to Canada for Visa stamping by leaving my wife in US?

[ssbk2424]

I am planning to go to Canada for H1B stamping. My wife is on H4 and she will be travelling to India later part of this year and would like to go for stamping there. Our visas are already expired.

My doubt is can I go for stamping now while my wife is in the country with expired H4 visa? Will the VO question why she is not attending? Will it effect VO decision to issue my visa?

Please help

Consider the worst case scenario. What if they issue 221g and you get stuck for a long period of time? That may not happen, but you should be prepared.

I am in the same situation , leaving my husband H4 in usa and myself going for h1 b stamping to Vancouver on aug 28 he dnt have any plans to travel this year. can it be a issue why he didnt came alone with me.

Ideally both should go. The H4 visa is totally routine if the H1 visa is approved. It is not compulsory. You can go alone .

Thanks pontevecchio,

I am flying on Sunday, having appointment on Tuesday, I am FTE since 6 months, done MS , before EVVC, and going alone for stamping, but scared obivlosly..

I had ques regarding ds-160

I misplaced my passport with f1 visa in 2009, i thought i lost it, so made a police reprot, but after 3 days i found it in my home in old bag,,, but in the mean time i applied for new one with updated name married name. I used my old visa in cancelled passport for travelling,,,

Should i answer yer or no to the question "Have you ever lost Your Passport" becuase i have both passports with me.

Please help really appreciate,, very less time left to modify my application.

Thanks

Yes will not be a problem. If they ask orally tell them what happened. This will not be a reason not to give you the visa.
