t2v replied to nitish's topic in H1B : Visa Stamp
Nitish.. We finally got the waybill number last night. She will be picking it up today morning. From what I understand, You get the way bill number after 1 day after the status changes to issued. So her's got issued on Friday, We got the number on Monday night. -

No man.. No luck today.. She waited at the consulate for over 2 hours, then at 3pm they suddenly said Loomis already picked up. So, We called Loomis, They said since waybill number is not generated, they cant do anything. They said wait for scan, then waybill number will be generated. Also, they pick up passports everyday at around 4 pm, guaranteed. We opted for the Markham location pickup. The guy we talked to at Loomis said , if they pickup from consulate today, it will be available at Markham tomorrow morning. -

Hey Nitish.. My wife is waiting at the consulate today to *hopefully* pickup the passport at 3. They told her to come back at 3 pm-4pm time slot and if its ready, they will give it apparently. From what I understand, she has contacted Loomis multiple times and they dont have the passport and they pickup from the embassy at 4. So if possible, you try to be there between 3-4 pm. maybe they will have it ready. -

No man.. It has said issued since Friday morning 11 am, but nothing in loomis yet. We called them multiple times, they haven't even picked up yet. My wife is trying to go to consulate to see if she can pick it up directly. The person on phone at the consulate had no idea where her passport was. These guys are very disorganized. -

That kind sucks man. Anyway, try shooting them an email saying you've been waiting for more than 5 working days for PIMS, maybe that will make them take a look. We had sent many emails in the past, but they never replied and now that it's Issued, they replied back now to an older email. ! I dont know what motivates them. -
Guys.. Her visa got issued. So she will pickup either today or tomorrow. Either way, I encourage some of you to visit the consulate either Tuesday or Thursday between 12-2.30 pm with your slip if you have one. They let in during that time slots and u can ask a visa officer directly for updates. Who knows, maybe the case is sitting there waiting for some automated 30 days or 60 days check for them to look at again.

Issued ! Nititsh, the status for my wife changed to Issued. You should definitely go visit the consulate, The hours on the website say till 2.30pm but @renquiry said he went after 3 pm also ! I'm guessing 4-4.30 pm. So try going today if possible. -
Passport was with consulate from interview time, It was very clear that it was PIMS, Officer wrote down PIMS on the 221G yellow slip and gave it to her when she left. Its a direct employer - employee relationship, no client / consultant stuff. Chemical Engineering undergrad, Chemical Engineering Grad working with Job title as "Industrial Engineer" in Railroad industry. I'm not sure about questions, but there were very few. I will try for more details later.

@Nitish, Not Issued yet, since she went at around 2:00 pm only, but the Status updated date has changed to today, Oct 24th. Im assuming that is because they looked into the case, may not be indicative of some progress. -
@Kalyan Please note this was for yellow 221G with PIMS problem. My wife, who I was posting for all these days, just went to the consulate with her yellow PIMS slip, told the security guard she wanted an update, she was let in and spoke to an officer I guess. The officer looked at the case, was surprised, and apparently called up somebody else and asked, "Why is she still waiting ? Everything is ok with her case". Then the officer gave her the standard instruction sheet on how to pick up passport with Loomis and said wait 3-5 days. I'm assuming they will issue soon now, fingers crossed, You might want to drop by the place if u can.

Kalyan, Take a look at this thread. http://forum.murthy.com/index.php?/topic/65248-visa-questions-in-toronto-oct-15-pimsplease-help Shrav1 and t2v (me) are the same person, I was posting for my wife initially and she then made her own account. Maybe you can update your sheet as needed.

@Renquiry . This was helpful, maybe it will stop fears for a bit. In both Nitish and mine's case, The VO took the passport and I-797, gave us a yellow 221G slip with PIMS. From your comments looks like your visit might have helped, I might do the same and give it a shot. What hurts. -
