---- Yes you can go to Canada for visa stamping whethter it is first time or any other condition

---- The issues are 1) They may not be able to verify your qualifications if you do not have a North American degree
2) If you are given a 221g you may not be able to return to the US even if you have a valid visa
3) You may be asked to go to your home country if the VO so feels

---- Espite all the rejctions/refusals/denials that you read on the forumsa dn hear form others there are people who have been successful in getting a visa stamp

---- After all you have to try adn find out. The chances are unpredictable and unforseen

Thanks for the Quick response Subramanya-

I got L1B stamped once...that means they have validated my degree correct?? So would you please correct me if my understanding is wrong??

---- If you have got your L1B visa processed in Canada it is good sign. But that does not hold good for every occasion and every type of visa including H1

---- Processing L1B does not reflect your credential evaluation. Both are different matters. At that time the VO might have been convinced about your qualifications and the overall interview

---- Thus, in my prveious post I had said that credential evaluation is one possibility and not a condition for granting a visa

---- This time when you go for H1B visa stamping hope you are successful in getting the H1 visa
