First time stamping with missing W2

[gcode]

Hello Friends

 

This is my first post ever on murthy forum and I hope to find solution to the problem I am in. I came to US in August 2006 on F1 visa and since then never left the country. I graduated in March 2008 and joined consulting firm, My H1B started from 1st Oct 2008 but I got project in Jan 2009 so I don't have W2 for 2008. After that time I have all the W2 till now. 

 

I am planning to go Canada for visa stamping, will this cause any issue ? I am working under EVC model.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks

On H1, you need to get paid ALL THE TIME, even on bench without a project. This has been known FOREVER!

WHY in the world did you not ask about this way back when???

May be, may not be. But one thing is clear, you were out of status during that time and this will create trouble in future.
