The applicant may need a visa to attend an appointment at the U.S. Consular Section in Canada. The applicant should verify with Citizenship and Immigration Canada before making arrangements. For more information consult: http://www.cic.gc.ca/.

Note that there are some risks associated with applying for a visa in Canada. If the visa is not approved the applicant may not be able to return to the United States; and even successful applicants may be required to stay multiple days until a decision has been rendered. Consider all these expenses and time delays before scheduling an appointment.

Before deciding to apply at a consular section in Mexico, third country nationals should keep in mind that traveling to the country may require the appropriate Mexican visa from a Mexico’s embassy or consulate before making the trip. Potential applicants should be sure they have a visa, if necessary, and are prepared to wait several days or longer in Mexico while their visa is being processed.

Please log in and follow the instructions to verify the proper procedures.

Note to Visitors of Canada:

With rare exceptions, visa applicants should apply at the U.S. Consular Section in their country of residence. If the applicant is not a resident of Canada, interviewing officers at the U.S..Consular Sections in Canada may not have experience in evaluating the circumstances in the applicant's country of residence. The applicant will, therefore, have greater difficulty establishing eligibility for a U.S. visa in Canada than would be experienced in the applicant's home country.



After reading the bold letters, it kinda freaks me out. But however you gotta do what you gotta do. It's better to take risk to Canada rather than Nepal.


As you mentioned in your post that we have to mention in the application that we are going for H1-b stamping(purpose of the trip), and while applying for Canadain visa there are additional documents required for people going there for H1-B stamping. You can get all that information from the Canadian consulate website.

I couldn't find the docs and the form needed in the website. Can you share some more knowledge ;-)?


Thanks everyone for sharing your info.

Excellent Post.
