I have my I-797 but don’t have my H1B stamping on my passport yet. Can I visit Canada and Mexico, and then come back to the US with a stamp? Do I need a visitor’s visa to either countries? Thanks.

Following.

You should always state your citizenship when you ask questions about visiting foreign countries. Canada and Mexico(not required if you have stamped h1b) does requires visa for Indian/Chinese nationals. There is an auto revalidation program that lets you get into the US from Canada,Mexico and nearby islands, but you should ask your immigration team if it’s possible in your case.

Thank you. And apologies. Citizen of India here.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
