L1B Visa renewal at Toronto on 29th Nov->Approved
Time for payback to this group.

We had our interview on 29th Nov, Wed in Toronto. Here is our experience
We flew from US to Toronto previous day.

We had our interview at 8.15 am, we reached consulate office around 7.45.
Outside the consulate office, there was line of around 8-10 ppl, there was a small check of your passport and DS160 confirmation page.
Once this is done, security check inside which is just after entrance.
Then we moved inside, document verification in one window, payment in another window.
This whole process took around 10 minutes.

Then we stood in the interview line, there were around 3-4 interview windows.
After waiting for around 5 mins in the line, our turn came.

The Visa officer started;
VO : How are you guys doing.
We : We are doing good. How are you?
VO : Good good, thank you

To me:
VO : Which company you work for. I answered
VO : How long you are with this company. I Answered
VO : All exp in US? I said accurate number of years for both offshore and onsite
VO : What do you do here? Since mine was specialized skill visa, i explained him in very short(around 2-3 lines)
VO: Whats your title.

To my hubby:
VO : Whats your title
VO: How long with the company

To my 8 years son
VO :Do you like school in US
VO : Do you want to become computer engineer like your parents.

My son was bold enough in his answers. VO was very happy and conversing with him with nice smile, and love.

In-fact the VO was too young and was good with the whole family. He covered all of us randomly, like 1 que to me, 1 que to my hubby. He was addressing my hubby as SIR.

Then he started looking into passports, he got some doubts, so went to other VOs for clarification.
He came back after 10 minutes and said I am approving your VISA.

And said, your son has L2 from both of you and both L2 are active in his passport. He said one cannot hold same type of visa 2 times. Though my son entered US on My visa, VO said during 2nd time L2 stamping, consulate in India would have cancelled previously stamped L2 VISA.

Then he said, he will cancel both of his active L2 VISA and issue the new VISA for which you have come here.
I still had 2 months validity of my Visa, he cancelled that as well and said you will receive fresh visa.

Then again he started conversing, how long you guys are here, don't book your return ticket for another 3-5 days. Then he handed over me 2 copies of my documents to give it to my employer.

Came back to room and checked the status, it was admin processing
On 30th Thu status changed to Issued.
1st Dec. Fri Picked up from Consulate office.
2-3 : Sat, Sun
4th Dec : Ready to pick.

Hope this info helps.
