H1B visa renewal at Tijuana, got 221g white slip

[Satbir]

I crossed from San Diego to Tijuana to get H1-B restamped (first one was done in New Delhi consulate).

 

Received a 221g white slip stating that they are doing administrative processes.

My job is in USA (not consultant, I am a full time employee).

My family is in India.

 

Can I fly to India?

I don't have a Mexican visa.

Based on my limited reading, I cannot fly to India, since once the admin processing is done, I have to return to Tijuana to get the stamp and Mexican embassy does not approve that of as a valid reason to grant visas (again, that's what I have read, please correct me if I am wrong).

 

Can I enter USA?

My limited understanding is that border officials on their discretion might allow me to enter (since I have a valid I-797, my H1-B which expired last year has been cancelled without prejudice by US consulate in Tijuana, I still have a valid B1/B2 visa).

 

Apart from staying in Tijuana, are there any other options which I have at this point?

 

Thanks in advance for replies.

Yes, you can file to india.

 

You can enter into US on B2. So you cannot work during that time.

 

You should have attended your visa interview in India.

Hi Satbir,

 

I am planning to come for stamping at Tijuana in June 3rd week and i was made my arrangements.

 

I am on my H1b Second Extensions, I had my previous Visa with Employer A and got stamped in Vancouver Canada. After that i changed to the Current Employer B a year ago and going for stamping at tijuana.

 

I am on Employee Client model, and i am always managed by my company manager ownly.

 

So how you recommend me to come to Tijuana. May i know for which reason they have given 221 g white slip.

 

Please share your experience and inputs. Are they any other folks with this kind of reason stucked in Tijuana or please suggest something before i take major decision.
