Hi,

May I know at what time you got the AOR email??

 

[zaina02]

Hello -- I'm planning to immigrate to the United States on H1B visa for a longterm work depuation in the next 2 weeks. I was wondering what process I should be aware of while immigrating to USA. While my citizenship application is in progress at what point I should come back to Canada for the oath ceremony / exam / collecting passport?

I currently hold an Indian passport. What happens to my H1B visa which is stamped on my Indian passport?

Once I receive the Canadian passport, I should renounce my Indian passport. I wonder how my existing stamped H1B visa mapped from an Indian passport to a Canadian passport.

Thanks!..

As a Canadian Passport holder, you don't require stamping. You just need to have your H1B documents.
