Dear Sir/ Madam,
Before I come up with my query, I would like to introduce my self. I am an Indian Citizen with valid Indian Passport came to USA on H1B in 2009. I worked for some company till Dec 2011. Even though I have valid H1B till July 2014, considering my academic interests, I applied for H1B to F1 student Visa conversion in Dec 2011 and joined Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh. I started pursuing my dual masters ( ECE and Engineering management) from Jan 2012 to till now. My H1 to F1 student conversion has been done and I received my F1 documents along with valid I20 and I94 in march 2012. So currently i am on valid F1 student status but with no official F1 student stamp on my passport. I have valid F1 status approved till Dec 2013.
Now I have to meet a professor in one of the premier University in toronto , Canada.
To accomplish this I am planning to apply for Canadian VISA at Canadian Embassy in Newyork. I intend to get Canadian VISA approved from Canadian Embassy and drive to Toronto , canada via Buffalo. After I finish my work, since I need to get my F1 stamping while coming to US, I intend to get it stamped in toronto, Canada.
Does this whole process make sense ? Is there any loop hole in my plan ? Please comment. I need to figure out my travel plans at the earliest possible. Appreciate your help in responding to my queries.
Thanks.
