Has anyone been to Toronto or Mexico to get their H1B stamped? I heard MX only does renewals so changing from an F1 to H1B won't work. Nothing on this on the Canadian website. Thoughts?

Change of status stamping cannot be done in Mexico. In Canada you can but first thing you need to check is what dates are available in all the consulates. Secondly the lead time to get the Canada visa. Third, you have to plan to stay there for around a week to get your passport back assuming everything goes as planned.

I takes a week to get the passport back in Toronto? I was hoping it would be 2-3 days max

Umm ive heard that for the first stamping, it's recommended you do in your home country?

D1 is right. I went to Vancouver to get mine stamped

Thanks...trying to goto Canada but they have no availability till September!

I did but lots of cancelations so keep checking the website...you maybe able to snag one earlier

Technically you can get your stamp in Canada. But you may want to consider the possibility of extended administrative processing recently. Almost all of my 5+ friends (including myself) got stuck while trying to get h1b stamps recently. You may need to plan to stay in Canada for a month in this case; or you may want to consider going back to your home country.

Is this for first time H1 stamping? If you get admin processing, is it possible to take your passport and travel to india to wait while they process it?

I got my first H1B stamp in Canada - very smooth, got my passport back in 3 days. Also got my L1A and L1B stamps there without any issues - got my passport back in 2 days

Any updates associate OP?

Yes, I went on a visitor visa. No one that I know was stuck in admin processing.

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have an idea if Wells Fargo does a H1 visa transfer/processing? I’ve found a few roles which match the job I currently do to a cent% and I feel I’d be a great fit but I just wanted to get this question out of my way because I’ve heard that WF doesn’t really deal with H1 visa’s much. Thanks, P
