Hello Friends,
I have a question on H1B Stamping. I recently got my Canada PR approved and need to do soft landing before November 2018. My H1B was renewed in March 2018 and so my passport does not have new stamping.
From whatever I could gather from all sources, I am but confused on Drop bx option.
While I qualify for all the criteria ( same employer as last time, same visa class, last stamping from India etc ), I am not sure if Drop box is available in Canada or is it only in home country(India) ?

Could someone please confirm this to me ?
check if you are eligible for automatic revalidation (if that rule is still there). in that case you can be in and out between US and Canada for less than 30 days and you dont need to get visa stamping.

You might want to check on the US Embassy website for Canada locations (near to the location you are visiting for soft landing).

The above link says
One condition for visa interview waiver is that your previous visa should be stamped in the same U.S. consulate. Plus, there’s no dropbox in Canada if you appear the for the second time in the same consulate in the Canada.
