Hey @faduengineerp congratulations, do you have PR or do you live in Canada?

If not while filling out the "Create Applicant" form( https://ais.usvisa-info.com/ )

what did you select for
Country of Permanent Residence*
?



I live in the US but just became a PR holder earlier this year. Hence am confused on what to select there.

I also have the following situation and follow-up questions:

We (me and my wife)are H1B visa holders living in Washington, USA.

Our last H1B stamping was also in Canada in 2022 ( mine in Ottawa via Dropbox as I was living there and my wife's was in Toronto via interview as she was not living in Canada at the time)

Earlier this year we became Candian PR holders and we intend to move there in 2026.

However, until then, we want to get our passports stamped with the latest H1b extension.

I was filling the form at: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv/schedule/62717733/applicants/new

  1. Country of Permanent Residence: As a Canadian PR holder who lives in the US, the tooltip says the following: "If you are not a citizen of the where you permanently reside, select the country where you are permitted to legally work, study or live.". As a Canadian PR holder who lives in the US, what would you or anyone recommend us selecting between Canada and the US? We of course live in the US and worry that our request for Dropbox will be rejected.
  2. Are you traveling from another country to apply for a U.S. visa in Canada? * It looks like folks answered no here but can someone confirm?
  3. In the DS-160 form does our home address need to be a Canadian address? Currently, we have entered our US address.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! thank you!

As per my observation or reading few messages in the forum. For 2nd question people have answered NO in order to get a dropbox. Not sure if that would have any impact. Other than that. You should be good for other two questions.

For 2nd question its your call to answer accordingly to get a dropbox or answer whats your situation actually is.

Hey @swan0206 thanks for your reply!

WHat about the 1st question: Country of Permanent Residence. Should it be Canada because we are PR holders now although we are living in the US?

Hi peacekeeprrr,

Were you able to schedule the interview? Was it an issue with the document?
I am in a similar boat for renewal.

Yes I had my interview and was approved.

General question like who is your employer, client, do you have your client letter(i didn't) where you will go to.
