H-1B visa revalidation in the US.
Hello,
I have just got H-1B approval notice from INS. As I understand I have
three options:
1. To apply for a new visa in the US Embassy in my country.
2. To revalidate visa in the US
3. To get a new visa through US border post program.
Option 1 is usually related to very long embassy delays in my country.
Thus, I am not happy about it. Option 3 is related to a potential
denial because of a lack of documents or something else and I have no
idea what I will do in Canada if such a thing happens
)
Option 2 looks pretty tempting ,though it may take some significant
amount of time. My questions are:
Has anybody revalidated H1-B _recently_ through US dept of State/Visa?
How long did it take?
What do you think about option 3? Is it worth trying to get a visa at
US border?
Thank you.
Alexander.

Re: H-1B visa revalidation in the US.
I did this twice once couple of years ago and once a year ago. First
time it took about a week in March 2001 and last time it took almost 5
months in Jan 2002 (Issued in late May).
So it depends - but it is the safest way to go.
