Rescheduling h1b appointment from Canada to India

[gdsr]

Hello,

 

I had originally scheduled a visa appointment for h1b stamping in Ottawa, Canada on Nov 18th. I had some change in plans and due to some circumstances, I have to make India trip and so, I was looking to reschedule my appointment at Hyderabad, India.

 

Now,

 

1) Do i have to create a new profile for India or Does the profile created for Canada needs to be moved over ?

 

 Canada profile created at:

https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv

 

India profile needs to be created at:

https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=India

 

Not sure, how profile information gets shared between 2 different applications.

 

2) I was told by the call center guys in India that I should call Canada's call center and have them move my profile over to India. But, When I called Canada's call center, I was told that they cannot do it.

 

I am confused....Should I just go ahead an create a new profile for India and schedule my interview ?

 

I am okay with paying the visa fees again for India....Just need to know what the correct process is...

 

Please help

You need to do everything from start for a visa interview in India. You have to pay visa application fee again.

As of my knowledge you have to create a new profile for India. Since Profiles are based on Country where you are attending the interview.

New profile needed and new ds -160 too. Furthermore the visa fee needs to be paid again since it is a different country.

Try calling the US consulate in Canada to see if they will help in any way (most likely they cannot )

Can I ask what are/were the available dates for ottawa or montreal when you were looking. Also for India do we still have availability for Dec or Jan ?

New profile is required since this is for a new country.

 

Can I ask if you know the visa appointment availabiltiy for Canada (Montreal, Ottawa)?
