Legal Question in Immigration Law in Connecticut

Re: H4 to H1 Conversion Procedure

Your wife should be able to complete consular processing in either Canada or Mexico, subject to discretion of the Consulate. However, she must be able to enter those coutries and I do not know if Canada requires Indian citizen to have a Canadian entry visa.

Pls note that your country has a relatively high rejection rate and chances are that the application will be scrutinized closely.

I had very good results with Third Country National processing at both Canadian and Mexican Consulates. Pls let me know if I can be of assistance by establishing a consulting relationship, which could probably be fairly inexpensive for you compared to a flight back to India.

Regards,

She cannot use third country processing to obtain an H-1B visa as she is changing her legal status. She must return to her home country.
