An Indian professional has flagged concerns around H-1B TCN stamping after sharing their case on Reddit. The applicant has a scheduled visa appointment at the US consulate in Vancouver, Canada. This H-1B TCN stamping appointment was booked before recent rule changes.
H-1B TCN stamping rule update
A federal rule last year restricted Third Country National visa stamping. However, experts confirm the H-1B TCN stamping rule does not cancel appointments booked earlier. The applicant’s portal still shows an active “Attend Appointment” status.
Why first-time H-1B stamping is risky
The applicant already holds an I-797A approval for Change of Status to H-1B. Still, first-time H-1B TCN stamping now involves higher administrative scrutiny. New social media vetting rules also add delays and complexity for Indian applicants.
Legal advice and document readiness
You are advised to consult an immigration lawyer before travelling. Carry every supporting document to avoid complications during H-1B TCN stamping. A refusal would prevent re-entry into the US and disrupt your job and immigration status.
