Khanna) Distribution: net Organization: Bolt Beranek and Newman, Cambridge, MA Lines: 18 Summary: As I believe it, one does not need a visa to re-enter the US if one's stay in Canada does not exceed 30 ( or 7, I can't remember ) days. So all one really has to do is go to the US consulate before but close to the "grace period" expiration date and request a new visa on the grounds that you want to stay on in Canada for a couple more days than the "grace period." There is no need to mention any planned trip to India. I was in Canada this winter and did obtain a visa this way ( I did legitimately need it to re-enter the US! ). By the way, all this applies to a J-1 visa. I don't know how things work for other non-immigrant visas. -- Atul C.
