Return of original I-797 form
Hi All,
I dropped off my H1B documents at a mail-in location for IW in Toronto. I was supposed to send a copy of my I-797 approval notice but I sent the original.
Will the US consulate send back the original I-797 along with my passport? Do they usually send back all the documents to the applicant?
Thanks

H1B and H4 Renewals - Dropbox option in Canada - Currently on Work Permit in Canada
Hi -
I am currently in Canada on a work permit so don't have a PR. My H1B visa expired in Dec 2021 and based on the IWP eligibility I should be eligible for dropbox. Has anyone got a dropbox appointment in Toronto or any of the Canadian cities for both H1B and H4 renewals. My wife's H4 expired the same time as mine so we would be renewing at the same time. I don't have a PR so wasn't sure if getting a dropbox appointment in Canada was an option? Would Mexico work instead?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

H1B Stamping in Canada
Hi,
I reside and work in the US and looking to get H1B visa stamping in Canada. I am a Canadian Permanent Resident. I have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to send passport and other documents from the US to the consulate in Canada? (assuming eligible for interview waiver).
This is not a first time H1B stamping. If anyone has gone through this process, would like to know your experience.
2. What are the current processing times for US consulates in Canada?
3. Which consulate has the fastest turnaround time?
Would appreciate your inputs. Thanks.
