First time H1B Stamping (other than in Home Country)

[Sbandaru]

Greetings,

I reside in Atlanta –GA, US.

Scenario
I reached US from my home country INDIA with Student VISA (F1) which is scheduled to expire on Dec 19, 2011. I finished my studies and started working as Software Analyst after obtaining US work permit I-797.

But as of now, though my status changed from regular student to skilled worker, I don’t have Valid Visa stamped in my passport corresponding to the work permit i.e., I-797. After completing my trip in Canada, I need to get H1B Visa stamped on my passport before returning to US.

Question #1
Can I get my H1B Visa stamped on my passport at Canada in US Embassy? Please advise considering the fact that it is my first (ever) H1B Stamping.

Question #2
In case of any queries or denial scenario, Can I enter back into US without any H1B stamped?

Question #3
Can I enter back into US at least, for a short period (of something like two weeks) to wrap the things in US and travel to my home country INDIA to resolve and get the H1B Stamped?

Please advise...

>>> Yes. You can get it stamped in Canada because you have completed your studies in U.S.

Question #2

>>> No.

Question #3
Can I enter back into US at least, for a short period (of something like two weeks) to wrap the things in US and travel to my home country INDIA to resolve and get the H1B Stamped?
>>> No. You should be prepared to travel back to India directly from Canada.
