H1 b stamping in Canada with DUI?

[krishh1b]

Hi Folks,

I was going through this forum looks like this is awesome platform for many like me who would be greatly in need and seek help, this is my first time writing to this forum hope I would get some responses

My h1b expired 2010 jul, I never needed to travel out of country, since now that I need to visit India(planning to get married :) )I am planning to go for stamping in canada as I have been reading stamping in India is at very high risk, so planning for canada at any place, here is small brief about my situation

h1b validity upto 2014

EVC model(can get client letter and vendor letters)

earlier Visa Expired in 2010

DUI in 2008 but have all paperwork and cleared all court formalities in 08 no liabilities due or any other formalities due

what are my chances of h1 stamping in cananda, do I need to go through physician for any tests there, how long can this take?

what docs are needed for visit visa to canada? I live in NY so can go to walkin for visa at canada consulate in NY.

please help,I am planing in Oct 2nd week or so is anyone travelling at around that time so we can work together

My advise, just based on my gut, since you have a DUI record, you would be better off going to India for stampping, assuming if they put your VISA on administrative clearing, then you do not want to be stuck in Canada, rather be at home in India.

But that is just my opinion.
