H1b Visa Stamping in Vancouver
Thanks for the prior members who shared their experience. My visa interview date is on Nov 5th (Monday) at 12.15 PM at Vancouver.
I booked a room through airbnb in downtown and arrived a day early to have a look and feel. Embassy is at walking distance.
I reached the embassy by 11.45, at security they asked my passport, I797, DS 160 and photo. They verified them and asked me leave my
phone there. Next there is a security check, then document verification and finger prints on the first floor. On 20th floor actual interview
process commence. I waited around 5 minutes for my turn.
There are two VO's at the time I arrived, one is a male and the other one is a female. Female VO is fast and approving visa's but the male
VO is verifying some documentation for one of the candidate and they have been waiting. In the mean time female VO issued visa for a five
member family, and three other visa applicants. Luckily my turn came and went towards female VO.
VO: what is role
Ans: xxx
VO: What are your job responsibilities
Ans: Responsible for gathering requirements from business analysts and technical team. Based on them I design and develop enterprise
application on xxx
VO: who do you work for
Ans: xxx

Ans: I work for a client
VO: Who is your client
Ans: xxx

VO: When did you start working?
Ans: I said my H1 was approved on xxxx, so I started working from xxxx. which is a year less than my Masters completion
VO: Havent you used your OPT?
Ans: I did my first masters in xxx, later I worked on OPT for one year and on J1 for one and half year. After that I started my Masters in CS.
VO: Ok, Your visa is approved come and pick at this location on Friday
Ans: Thank you Mam.
She didn't asked me any paper work. I gave her only my passport and I-797. It just happened in 3-4 minutes. The whole process completed
in less than an hour. When I am exiting out the other male VO said, next person in line please.
She kept my I797 with her, I came back and later realized that. I went back to embassy and they said we will return that back with passport.
Did any one had this kind of issue before at Vancouver? please share that. How long it will take to return the passport?
