H4 stamping in canada for Indian citizen

[gdesikan]

Hello,

My L1B is expirin soon. So, I m thinking of opting for H4-EAD, which i m eligible for. To expedite my EAD, i m planning to travel to Canada to get my H4 stamped. Any experiences on H4 visa stamping in Canda for Indian Citizen? This is the first time stamping for me in Canada and my spouce will not be travelling with me.

Thanks and Regrads,

GDesikan

I am in similar situation. thinking of going to Canada for H4 stamping. I am currently on H1b. Based on my research, it does not appear to be a problem as long as we carry all the documents. Please email me (check my profile for email address), we can  plan jointly.

You guys got it? I'm in similar situation. I have applied for COS and EAD already in July but it looks like it takes about 10 months for COS as per some other forums. Any of you guys know if I have to file a new EAD after I get the stamping or the one I already filed will do?

@venkat557 Getting stamped in canada is not that easy as the appointment availability is after months when i tried. moreover, there seems to be lot of rejects, in which case traveling to india would be unavoidable. so, to be safe, i travelled to india and got my h4 stamped. it took 2 days to get my passport back (chennai embassy). now, i have again filed with approved H4. hope this helps.
