Yes, I did. And it is supposed to be 9:30am, not pm.

Thankyou!

Final Update: Oct 21, 3pm: Email from consulate to drop passport at consulate Oct 24, 9:30pm: passport dropped off Oct 26, 3pm: Email from usvisainfo website with tracking number and simultaneously from Canada post with tracking details Oct 27, 10am: Picked up passport from Toronto postal station (interview ottawa but passport picked up in Toronto)

You are right, I could have shipped it via CPC but the email I got asked me to drop it in person. Now that could have just been a template email, but I didn't want to take chances of any more delays because you know... whatever For Return: Yes, I changed it to Toronto for pickup. Passport shipped today, delivery tomorrow

Good call on asking to leave the passport, I should have thought of that and saved few more days and travel from Toronto to Ottawa and back. I dropped of passport yesterday, still waiting for any update. CEAC still says Admin Processing, so there is still that.

What do you mean? DS160 is per individual so every individual no matter if they are applying together should complete a separate DS160

I dropped the passport at Embassy today

Hey man/woman, I am in Ottawa for 221G but your calculation is a good indicator. My interview was on Oct 4th, I got email yesterday (21st) to submit passport. I will do so on Monday so few days after that should be done.

Update: I got email today to submit passport. It is past feasible time to do so today, so I will be doing that on Monday. I will post a final update once I get passport in my hand.

Folks!!! I just got an email (5mins ago) from Embassy to submit my passport. Oct 4th was my interview date. Just want to quickly give an update. Will come back and give more details once I get my passport to the embassy.

Also follow this post, different consulate but will give you an idea.

Yes, you can come to Canada but carefully think about all the outcomes. If all goes well it's great, if at all there is any delay then you will be stuck in a third country. Telling you with experience, I am here since Oct 4th and there are more people that are here, a few longer than me as well. Read all the forums, not to scare you however. Same could happen in your home country but at least you are at home.

Seem to be the same everywhere. There are a few of us in Canada with the same issue. Consolation for you is that at least you are at home and can wait it out

Hi everybody, Did any of you talk to an Attorney regarding this? Is there anything they can do to help with this?

Extra slots made available across U.S embassies in India, there was a press release. Check on Murthy newsflash
