I got my H1 approved this week (F1 to H1) and now I am looking for places I can get H1 stamping. Is Bahamas, Costa Rica, Trinidad or any close by country an option? I am in US right now and my F1 visa has expired.

Back when I was on H1-B, I used to go Vancouver, BC, to get it stamped. Back then they used to process it within three business days, these days I'm not sure.
