H-1 visa stamping experience in Toronto -- By one of our team members
Here is a recent visa stamping experience narrated by one of our team members.
-------------------------
I went for an H-1B visa stamping at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, Canada, in November 2012. This was my first H-1B visa stamping. I wanted to share my experience with you and hope that it will be helpful in providing some insight into the entire process.
Scheduling the Interview
H-1 Concurrent Employment
Question details
If I am applying for concurrent employment on H-1, can I extend my status based on my new employment, or can it only be for the time I am already approved for?
You can extend your time, assuming that you would be otherwise eligible for an extension of status.
Performing services in more than one work location
Question details
The employer who is going to sponsor my petition has told me that I will be working in more than one work location. Will USCIS see this as a problem?
The petitioner (your prospective employer) will need to submit a complete itinerary of services or engagements if you will be performing services in more than one work location. Furthermore, the petitioner must comply with Department of Labor regulations requiring that an LCA is filed specific to each work location for the beneficiary.
H-4 to H-1 status
Question details
I was in H-1B status for three years, then changed to H-4 status. If I want to change back to H-1, will I need to wait to file under the new quota?
If your previous H-1B petition was counted against the cap, you should not be subject to the quota and should be able to file an H-1B petition at any time. However, if your prior H-1B employer was cap-exempt, you will be subject to the quota.

I have answered my H1B Extension RFE with Rajiv's office. They were great in getting the work done and respond back quickly from their side. They will also answer very promptly for any immigration or rfe document related questions. I would like to say specially thanks to Jagbir... who did a great job on his part and answered all the questions in detail. His timely updates & and his timely emails reminding the timelines are really very appreciable. Thanks for all the effort --- Venkat

Thanks a lot to Law Offices Of Rajiv S Khanna for doing an excellent job to get my H1 and my wife's H4 renewed. My case was a little complicated and my employer has very little knowledge about the whole process, but Rena and Anna did an outstanding job in preparing the job description letter and coordinating with my employer. They are both extremely polite and patient and are very prompt in responding to emails/phone calls.
Thanks a lot to both Rena and Anna for all their help and special thanks to Rajiv for his expert advice.
