I have H1B visa stamp on Indian passport around 3-4 years ago. Then I became Canadian Citizen and travelled on Cdn passport and shown my H1B stamp on Indian passport to the officer at the airport and they stamped my Canadian passport with H1B stamp. This was around 3-4 years ago.
My company applied for extending the H1B visa (as it was expiring) few months ago and got the extension approval. My question is do I need H1B extension stamp on my Canadian possport from embassy or I will get it at port of entry.
I am still living in Canada and go to US sometimes. I forgot about stamping as thought that as a Canadian citizen I don't need physical visa stamp on the passport (from US embassy) but now confused as this is for extention not original H1B visa stamp.
Same as what was described before in this thread. All you need to do is take your I797 H1B notice along with your passport to the nearest port of entry. They will issue an I-94 for $6 USD and put an entry stamp in your passport (rubber stamp) and note the validity of your H1. Your I-94 will be valid for the duration of the H1. No visa from the consulate/embassy is required.

Here is something simple to remember , As a Canadian you never have to go to US embassy for any employment issues. All the employment issues ( H1B, TN, L1) etc are taken care by POE ...Just take your papers and they will do the rest ...

We will find a way or we will make one
Thank you Dimple & Smiley.
