my h-1 visa will start this sept. i plan to go home at the end of this year, just miss home to much , and good food. i think i have to apply a visa in china, no time to go to mexico or canada

以下是引用magicflute在2004-6-15 23:10:15的发言：
今天受到消息说7月后H等签证的revalidation要停办, 也就是说不能在DC办, 要出美国才行. 这个revalidation是啥呀, 是不是说F1转的H1, 只有status没有visa, 所以要送到DC去弄个VISA?

那对于有STATUS但没有VISA的H1 (F1转的), 要回国的话, 是应该上那里搞VISA呢? DC? MEXICO? 还是回国去签? 我觉得这个问题应该停普遍的, 但我认识的H1好象都没有回国的打算--有和我一样没出息, 必须得时不时回趟家的人么? //blush

i think if it's your first time to apply h-1 visa, you have to get it outside usa, after that, you may just send your passport to dc and renew it. but it seems us government will stop doing that soon
