F1 visa stamping Calgary,Canada
I was living in US on H4 visa since 2015. I started studying and changed my status from H4 to F1 in June 2016. I decided to visit canada for my F1 visa stamping. I applied for canada visitor visa and booked visa appointment for 18th December,2017 in Calgary, Canada.
I had my interview on 18th December,2017 at 9:30 am. Security check-in then fingerprinting and visa interview window. The officer asked me about my study, major, interests, subjects etc. Asked university details, financial support etc.
He wrote down everything in his computer and gave my passport back to me with yellow 221(G) paper and asked me to submit my resume, project work, research work, publications, financial supporting documents and school letter.
I argue with him and convinced him to keep my passport with them. Came back to hotel and called few university people and asked for required documents. I submitted all the documents on the same day.
Will give you date to date updates for my case
