Thank You All for the information. I wasnt aware that I-94 are now paperless. Once again thank you all for your help.

Hi, I recently had my first H1B stamping done in Canada last month. I was on F1 visa and got my first H1 B stamping in Canada. During my visit to the US consulate they took my i-94 card (during Visa Interview). while travelling back from Canada to USA, the immigration was done at Toronto airport and no new i-94 was issued for me. the immigration officer just stamped on my passport. Would this be an issue ? IS there a way for me to get a new i-94 card. appreciate your time.

Hi i just had an interview in Toronto canada for my first H1-B after master and got a 221 - G yellow slip. the VO said it would take a month for admin processing. Does it really take one month. did anyone fall in the same boat ? please advise ?

@kalyan - at what point would the status be changed to "Issued" ...?

@kalyan - so if you submit the passport this tuesday - the expected date you can pick it up would be Friday ?

@kalyan - is your status change on the CEAC website from administrative processing or is it still showing the same.

guys this is what feel. if we had gone to china for interview we probably had a better chance as they are clearing cases faster. the people in toronto must be really slow and probably sent our details on the 16th when our status got changed.

@kalyan - have u received any update from the consulate in response to your email ?

@kalyan - did you get any response to your email from the consulate ?

where did you get this info ...?

Any of you guys have any updates on your status ?

i understand the delay - but i wish we had a tentative time frame man !

@kalyan - here is my theory man - what im guessing is that all our files were just sitting at the toronto consulate for the counselor to process. this process probably started on OCT 16th when all our status dates were updated. Probably this is when they sent it to the DOS. Not sure how long from this date would the DOS take to process the applications and send back the info. Not sure why the toronto consulate kept our applications for soo loong without being processed.

wish they worked faster - any update on your status @kalyan

@kalyan - do you know how often was your friends profile updated , i mean the changes in the status dates ?

does the color matter - as we all got yellow ?

HI Kalyan thanks for the info - was raghu in similar boat as us ? like the VO took just resume and i 797 ? was there anything extra he's done to get it done faster or just patiently wait ?

Not sure whether the processing in DC is taking long time or the processing here in toronto is taking more time. Im thinking the consulate in toronto is rather slow in this process ?

apparently appears these guys are playing games, atleast your in safe boat by working here, not sure when they will get our cases done.

Kalyan - urs has been more than 7 weeks right ? its not even F1 students season - why do you think its taking them so loong .

quick question - if all the processing is done in DC , how is it slowing her ?

No - update- Any clue how we can contact the embassy to know the status? did you get the consular number for toronto ?

@kalyan - any update on your profile.

same update guys - i'm guessing they just looked into all our profiles or may be they approved all the cases !

so you guys think they were just looking at the profiles or they have actually received some feedback after admin processing. i hope the later.
