    H1B renewal while in Canada

    I agree that I94 history gets updated immediately. But, the actual I94 is not updated regularly which is what we submit to USCIS on any H1B renewals. I confirm that the I94 online, paper I94 given by CBP and new I94 that is included in I797 approval petition from employer B all have the same...

    H1B renewal while in Canada

    1. I understand there is no quarantine if we go to work and come back on the same day. I would be surprised if Canada immigration doesn't ask for quarantine if we stay in US overnight 1-2 days if needed for H1B renewal. 3. Yes, I have been in US multiple times since July for work but I did...

    Rumors about an executive order that bans the entry H1b holders around.

    I now believe that it is going to happen for sure. Devil will be in details and so lets hope the exemptions would allow most of people to continue to qualify for h1b and/or reentry: https://www.npr.org/2020/06/20/881245867/trump-expected-to-suspend-h-1b-other-visas-until-end-of-year

    US Immigration Suspension

    Thank God. Everyone seems to have overreacted to the tweets. But, as of now, it looks like a temporary halt of green cards issuance but they will continue to process visas for temporary workers: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/21/trump-immigration-green-card-coronavirus-198498

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    It looks like the US-Canada border restrictions have been extended until May 20 and Michigan might relax stay at home order by May 1. Since most people on H1B are currently working from home and in this forum likely in Windsor Canada, did any one file H1B amendment or have their LCA posted by...
