Hello, I got your email, I seldom check my rolia email. Sorry for late responses. I post here in case some one need it. When I applied H1B, I hold canadian degree. Here are my thoughts ONLY.

2. If you are PR of Canada, should be ok.
Logically, "Home Country" means China for you and us, but technically it should be Canada, because you are resident of Canada . US consulate may check your background based on your records mostly in Canada. Same thing applies to B class.
Quotes from nvars:
"Please be aware that it is generally more difficult for applicants to obtain visas when they apply outside their home country. Consular officers in Canada may be unable to properly assess the circumstances of and/or evaluate foreign documents presented by applicants who are visitors in Canada. In such cases, the consular officer may deny the visa application and recommend that the applicant return to his/her country of normal residence. For this reason, persons applying for F, M, J, H, or L visas, who are presently in the United States on a B (tourist or business) visa or on a visa waiver, are strongly advised to apply for their new visas in the country of their permanent residence.
"
3. I797 or any I94 is from INS while Visa is issued by Department of State. They may or may not respect each others' decision, depends how lucky you are.
4. Bring all of the documents, but give only what they ask, answer only what they question.

Take it easy and good luck.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

  • 枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / 急问!!!请教各位美国大虾, 最近有没有在TORONTO美领事馆签到H1B的?今天收到预约通知, 说明中竟然规定: -bingdy(benny(奔牛)); 2002-11-2 {186} (#832072@0)
    Fist time "H1-B" visa applicant who earned their qualifying academic degrees outside US or Canada are !strongly urged! to apply in their home countries....... 难道非要我们回中国签证吗?
    • up! -bingdy(benny(奔牛)); 2002-11-2 (#832103@0)
      • Two copies have been sent, one for you, one for American Consulate General office of beijing. Beijing office will issue you H1B visa if they do receive another copy from U.S to match your copy of letter.That's it. -seraphim(摇滚小乖); 2002-11-2 (#832291@0)

      1. I think many people applied for H1B in Canada successfully.

      2. I remember someone suggested that in situation like this, you could get degree notarization at University of Toronto, contact student service, ask which office offers such service.

      • Thanks a lot, mssg. I had my degrees notarized at a US Institution when I apply the H1-B visa. If they "strongly urge" me to apply in my home country, I will "strongly" insist them issue me a visa in Canada. -bingdy(benny(奔牛)); 2002-11-2 (#832217@0)
        • good luck. -mssg(mssg); 2002-11-2 (#832238@0)
    • If you did get a letter for applying visa after your employer had sent your application, another copy of yours had already been sent to china. If you insist them issue a visa in Canada, may be too late. -seraphim(摇滚小乖); 2002-11-2 (#832270@0)
      • Nothing sent to China at all. Everything is normal: I-797B, I-129, LCA. They are unable to evaluate my academic credentials. So, "strongly urged"......It's the same for everyone who apply the H1-b visa. -bingdy(benny(奔牛)); 2002-11-2 {60} (#832350@0)
        I just want to learn some experience about getting the visa.
        • Have you signed the offer letter? Have you got approved by INS? -seraphim(摇滚小乖); 2002-11-2 (#832370@0)
          • I have the employment letter and the approved files by INS. But I was told that it is not necessary to show the emloyment contract to the consular. -bingdy(benny(奔牛)); 2002-11-2 (#832594@0)

      • Yes, I called them (1 900 451-2778, which charge you $2/m) and got the same answer. "Home country mean the country in which you reside". Thanks Yuanzidan!. -bingdy(benny(奔牛)); 2002-11-5 (#837944@0)
