Notes:
Hello! Below is the experience from my first ever F1 to H1B stamping in Ottawa, Canada.
* Came to the US in January 2015 as a student and completed my Master's in December 2016.
* Was on OPT and STEM OPT from Feb 2017 to Feb 2019 (got my H1B picked in the lottery in April 2018 and got my case approved in Feb 2019 having had an RFE).
* Feb 2019 to Dec 2019, I had my first approval notice.
* Jan 2020 to Dec 2020, I had my H1B renewed/extended.
* Sep 2020 to Sep 2023, I got my next H1B renewed/extended.
* April 2021, changed employers and that's when I got my H1B extended to April 2024
Submitted DS-160 on November 1, 2021 and got a slot for November 9, 2021 in Ottawa. I went for the interview and was asked basic questions like where do you work, what do you work as, highest qualification, illegal presence ever in the US, etc.
Essentially, the officer told me that they wanted to verify some more information and that she would take my passport. She returned everything else she had asked
