I work in Detroit, USA on H-1B. However, my wife lives and works in Canada. We both have Canadian PR. From Tuesday to Thursday I am in office in Detroit. I have a shared apartment with a rental lease and I maintain a US drivers license and my US employer has my apartment address as I my home address. I stay in the Detroit apartment for 2-3 nights. However, from Thursday evening to Tuesday morning I am in Windsor, Canada. My employer does not know that I travel to Canada and work from their for two days (Monday and Friday). My H-1B stamp has expired. I am travelling on AVR. I came to know that Canadian PR can renew by mail in Canada. Also, I do not work for the company whose name is on the expired stamp, I changed employer via H-1B visa transfer.
Please help me with these questions:
1. Putting a Canadian home address on ds-160 can create problems? Since I will be in Canada while I send my docs for stamping. I do file taxes in both countries but my CA filed 2024 US taxes as non-resident while Canadian taxes as resident.
2. With change of employer do I still qualify for stamping by mail? I have seen some posts where folks stated that they did qualify for interview waiver initially but then got an email to attend an interview due to change of employer.
