H1b stamp + H4

[lalalau]

Hi,

 

I have a pretty complicated situation: I'm from Italy, and I've done my PhD here in the US. I've just got a job as a professor here in the US, and I've received my new H1B documents a couple of weeks ago, so I need only the stamp. My boyfriend, also from Italy, and I are getting married at the beginning of August here in the US. He's currently here in the US with me with a Visa waiver, so he will need to apply for an H4 as soon as we have our marriege certificate.

I was thinking of going back to Italy at the end of August with him, and apply for an interview for my own H1b visa stamp, and his own H4. But I need to be back by September 10, when the semester starts. 

1) Do you think we will have enough time to do that? Do you think I will be able to have my stamp and his visa ready in 1 week?

2) Could it be possible to do to another country to do the process, maybe Canada, even though we are both Italians?

 

Thank you so much for you help!

1. Yes.

 

2. Possible though 1 is better. Get the details ready by looking at your relevant Consulate/Embassy.
