Goto Canada for H1B stamping has both pros and cons:
Location:
Ottawa: better for eastcoast ppl, comparatively cheap
Toronto: better for midwest , not so cheap
Vancouver: westcoast, expensive city
Calgery: beautiful place, far land
Montreal: if you know french language, expensive
Go to any of these location (find out if you have any relatives or friends living there !!!, stayig longer in hotels are expensive. If you do not have anyone in Canada and takes long time to get vis stamped, you end up paying $ 150.00 for reasonable good hotels. think about it....in that case going to Nepal and staying with family and having nepali food is far better in my experience.)
Pros:
1. takes shorter time for approval than Nepal.
2. Can work from hotels to US Remote Desktop, so you can work (Most hotels have high speed WiFi which you can not do in Nepal.)
3. Cheap flights or you can drive on your own. or take bus from DC or NY to toronto.
Cons:
1. If you have to stay longer than a week, you end up spending more $$$
2.Gets frustrated with one one around and have nothing to do.
So, think before making any decision. Can someone pls mention the same for Nepal visit who have gone to Nepal for H1B stamping.
Yes, getting visa for Canada is not a problem. Apply online to Canadian embassy and appear for an Interview to the earest consulate office, not much hassle. Once you are done with the Canada visa, apply to the US embassy for H1B stamping through embassy site online or through some broker site for faster processing and earlier interview date. Regarding PIMS verification, I doubt if sending email to the consulate general even before applying for interview will help. It's even beyound their reach, PIMS verification is not worst than getting 221g.
God bless you all.
