I called *****************

@smuppala, I went inside and outside Canada multiple times from past couple of months without any issue. I don't think it is a problem as long as you have valid visa. @immitraveller, I called consulate today and they said consulate is open tuesday, December 31st.

@immitraveler, why not submit passport on Dec 31, TUesday. Consulate is open that day. Even on website they did not mention any holiday on Dec 31.

Do not send any document without them asking for it. And definitely dont book another appointment. You are already in their system. Be patient wait for theor email I waited for 80 + days.

They have not given any timeline in my case. In other cases; I think it is 60 days.

@All- I got clearance email this morning 9 am EST. Just to give you snapshot of my case: Interview date- October 2nd; handed yellow slip and returned passport but kept I-797 Status update 1 - October 16th Status update 2 - Dec 19th Clearance email - Dec 20th Total wait time: 80 days I will keep you posted when I get visa.

Yes; me. I had interview on Oct 2 and no update since Oct 16.

That is indeed a good sign. Expect good news coming soon your way. My interview date was October 2nd. Ist update was Oct 16th and no update since then.

Anybody who is still 70+ days here ?

You should be close. Green slip cases are first to get resolved. Since you already have 3 updates; you should be getting clearance sooner than later.

@Chavvavijay; do you have any update ? Did you try any other channel to resolve the case ?

Yes; it sucks man. I know guys with yellow slip are getting cases solved in 50-60 days window. But our cases are already beyond 70+ days. I do not know what to say ...just wait and watch I guess..

I have not gotten any response yet since Oct 16. I am staying at Guelph near Toronto. I have a company office there so I am temerarily working from there.

Sorry to say that but there is no way of making to work by December 9th. I am waiting with yellow slip since Oct 2nd and still pending..I do not know what else to say except wait and watch.
