problem with H1B approval form -plz help me

[sirish79]

Hi Friends,

I have a problem here. I came to US on F1 Visa and finished my Masters here. I have applied for change of status from F1 to H1. And I also got the H1 B approval notice from INS. But instead of getting I 797a, I got I 797b approval form(I dont know if it is an INS mistake or my Lawyers mistake while applying for change of status).
I heard that I 797b form is received only if you apply from outside US.

Now I am planning to go to canada for stamping. Will that be a problem???

I would really appriciate any help...

Thanks in advance,

Sirish.
