Hello!

My concern is- I have just tracked from USCIS website that my Petition for H1-B is approved. We were advised by our employer to wait for the i797 form and maybe proceed with the next appropriate steps.

However, I am travelling to Australia soon. Soon enough that I cannot continue to wait for documents to continue to process my H1-B visa here in the Philippines. The Petition has indicated that I am in the Philippines. However, with my impeding travel to Australia, can I continue my H1-B application/ stamping in Australia and eventually travel to US from there? I was thinking that I am going to coordinate with the US embassies in Australia but I don't know yet how exactly to do the whole process there.

I will appreciate you kind words about it.


Sincerely,
May

I have had H1-B stuff stamped in Canada and Poland, even though I applied from the US. But I already had H1-B status when I went to those places. I'm not sure how being in another country would affect your *first* H1-B stamp. If they say they're sending stuff to the embassy in the Philippines, then it could be a big problem. Otherwise, I would *guess* that you'd be OK. In the case of Poland, I was asked by the Consul General himself why I applied in Poland instead of London. I told him I didn't have four weeks to wait around in London (Poland was a walk-in, same day service), and his response was "I know, just testing you."
