Anyone with H1-B Non-Immigrant Visa interview in Ottawa on 23rd Feb 2023 still waiting on Passport?
I had my interview on 23rd Feb, the consular said the Visa was approved. Came back and checked the status and it had turned Approved. Its been 9 working days now, the status still shows Approved. Have written to the Consulate email and called the phone number multiple times, get standard answer they cannot comment on processing time, have to wait for status to get changed to Issued.
Can anyone in Ottawa on the same date please confirm if they got their passport?

221 g -Admin Processing -Toronto- H1B
I attended in person appointment for H1b for a new employer in Toronto consulate on Dec 30 2022. VO asked few basic questions with regards to roles & responsibilities, place of work, returned my passport and gave me a yellow slip. I was told that no documents were required from my side. My new consultant and client received an enquiry from USCIS on Jan 27. I am still waiting for any communication from consulate. Does anyone know how much time it takes after the client verification to ask for the passport for visa stamping?

How do I get eligible for Dropbox? PR Holder with previous H1B stamping
I would really appreciate if someone can help or lead to right resources/post. I live in US and last stamping was in India that expired in 2021.
1. Are there 2 options? Dropbox where I don't need to travel to Canada and ship the documents or all the experiences shared here is folks landing in Canada and sending the documents?
2. I selected yes for "Are you traveling from another country to apply for a U.S. visa in Canada?" and I am not getting dropbox options. Dates are 2024 Oct.

H1b Stamping at Ottawa on Canada visit visa
Hi,
This site was super helpful so posting my experience.
I flew to Canada on visit visa
My timelines are
9th Feb - 9.20 AM - Consulate Interview - You can go early they are not strict on timings,
you can take mobile phones with you there is free locker service inside.
Do carry passport photo OR 10CAD to get a photo inside Consulate.
Carry all documents as per the link which I have shared , if you have all documents then you will feel more confident and can avoid 221G
Qns
Are you with same employer?
What does your company do?
What do you do at Company X?
Whats your salary
Pay stubs
Visa was approved you will get it soon.
9th Feb - Status got changed to Approved.
10th Feb (Friday) - no updates status is still Approved.
13th Feb - Status got changes to Issued by ~10AM.
14th Feb - no updates.
15th Feb - Got an email to collect passport form BLS Ottawa.
I was expecting my passport on Friday 10th Feb but had to extend my stay.
Take aways - For document pick up there are multiple options I choose BLS , if its BLS you will not get any tracking#.
You will get an email once passport is ready for pick up.
I have seen post from other members who got it sooner via Canada post and if there is an option do select premium service.
While coming back you will get immigration in Ottawa airport itself which was super fast.
Good luck everyone!

Anyone able to get H1B stamping appointments in Vancouver for 2023 recently ?
Hello,
I'm trying to find an appointment for my H1 and my wife's H4 renewal in Canada but currently I am seeing all appointments for 2024. I am non Canadian citizen and currently in US, so planning to visit Canada on visitor's visa.
Is anyone able to find any earlier appointment dates ? When did you book and at what time you found available appointments ?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Anyone face longer than normal wait to get passport? H1B visa interview on Jan 17 in Toronto Canada. It was approved and still waiting for passport
My visa was approved in interview on January 17 and the DS160 status had been in approved since then. It’s been more than 2 weeks now. My husband had his interview on 19th and got his passport on the 25th, while there is no update on mine. Calling them has been of no use as they give generic replies.
