First time H1B Stamping in Canada
I am looking to get my first H1B visa stamping done from Canada. I am an Indian citizen working in US on my H1B, got an automatic change of status from F1 to H1B and have never left US since then.

My visa to US has not been refused in the past. I have received an interview waiver for H1B stamping in Canada. I also have received my COPR and I plan to land in Canada to claim my PR status and submit my docs for H1B stamping the same day. Can you share your insights and experiences in this scenario? Any issues that I might face ?

How to book appointments only for dependents after the primary applicant stamping done
I have paid a fee for myself (Primary applicant) along with three dependents with my profile. Due to limited appointment availability from the consulate, I have booked appointments only for myself and got visa stamping. When I try to book appointments later for the remaining three dependents, the portal is asking to pay for myself(Primary applicant) again.

I want to book appointments only for family members . How to book appointment only for family members from my profile without including me (Deepan Chakravarthy)

Portal has the option to remove dependent applicants only. I can't find the option to remove the primary applicant.

H1B VISA transfer
HI Guys,

I would like to understand whether my H1B is valid to recapture or not. My H1B lottery picked in 2014 and stamped in the same year. But due to my personal reasons I was not able to travel and never got the chance to fly again.

Now I am looking for US opportunities so would like to understand whether my H1B is still valid to recapture as it was never being used and never travelled to US on this H1B
..?? OR I have to go for the fresh filing from scratch like lottery etc..??

Thanks and Regards

PERM Audit & H1B Ext
Hello Experts,

My company filed my PERM in July 2021 i.e. before 365 days of my 6th year H1B. H1B Maxing out in Aug 2022. My employer filed my H1B visa extension in Jan 2022 as its expired on 31 Jan 2022. While filing my H1B extension, they captured all dates when i was out of country and filed the extension based on that i.e. Aug 2022. Now my PERM application got audit and it looks like targeted audit. Could anyone please suggest what to do in this situation.

1. Should i wait for my H1B extension to approve then file for 7th Year extension OR USCIS can provide 7th extension based on my PERM application file with DOL?

2. is it advisable to change the H1B extension to Premium processing  from Normal processing to check if i am getting 7th year or not?

3. If i will apply for 7th year extension and PERM is in Audit state, can 7th year extension be denied?

4. Should i look for another employer to file my PERM as well and move out to country for few months to captured some time.

221g no slip given
Hello,

My spouse applied for the H4 visa. The consular at the visa interview asked my wife to submit my current visa via dropbox. However, my current visa was expired and my dropbox stamping was due after her interview. My wife's passport was returned to her and no 221g slip was given. My H1 is stamped now so I emailed ustravel docs and consular responded with standard template message about 221g under processing. I am not sure if I should just go to VFS and submit documents? Would they request for 221g slip or anything? Or should I be waiting for the consular to get back requesting the same documents ?

Thank You
