I have been working as a consultant for a company since January, 2008. I got my H1-B visa through another company (I think is affiliated to the company I'm working for). I did my bachelors in US. I am on OPT and I came here from Nepal in August 2001 with F1 visa (expired already in 2002- duration of study stamping in the visa). I want to go to Canada or Mexico for H1-B visa stamping soon since I want to go to Nepal. I had some questions:

  1. Is it better to go to Canada or Mexico?
  2. I am on OPT right now- can I go before October, 1, 2008?
  3. What documents would I need to carry along with me?
  4. How do I make an appointment with the consulate in Canada/Mexico and what are my chances of getting my visa stamped there?
I would really appreciate it if you can get back to me. Thanks!
P.S I tried asking many people but got conflicting suggestions. Even my company is not too keen on getting back to me. Please help :)

You may go to Canada or Mexico only if you have some spare money. Sometimes, there can be a wait or detour to Nepal ( because of lack of documents etc. ) . Getting a H1b visa from Nepal is relatively simpler and so far every body I have known have got the visa...

I know three persons very well who took different approaches- Mexico, Canada and Directly to Nepal. The one who went to Mexico had to wait for one more week than predicted because of some documents check.
All three got H1B visa comfortably. One good thing about going to Mexico is that you don't need mexican visa, and you would save some money. Good thing about Canada is that, you can get multiple entry visa which can be used for later on too.

Thanks lightnup and piranha. I am going to Nepal for only 2 weeks so I can't afford to be stuck there because of work here. FreeH1B (or anyone else) can you please answer all my questions:) I need to make a decision soon.

If you can afford, go to Canada. You can also get the Canadian Visit Visa in the process. Other wise, Mexico is better alternative of going to Nepal when you just have two weeks to spend in Nepal. Although, if you do get a visa back to US, spend more than two weeks in Nepal. You will be very glad you did.
