收到温哥华领馆寄来的预约确认信，其中有如下一段：
First-time "H1-B" visa applicants who earned their qualifying academic degrees outside the U.S. or Canada are strougly urged to apply in their home countries, as Vancouver consular officers are generally unable to evaluate foreign academic credentials.
请问大家有没有从温哥华拿到H1B的？非北美学历是否一定回国签证？
我的律师（在底特律）不认为这是一个值得注意的问题，但是我发现温哥华领馆反复强调这个问题，有可能和别的地方不一样。
多谢答复。
