f1studentOPT Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 here is my case summary Interview @Toronto. Given 221G (yellow) - admin processing VO took 797a original and resume. I suspect it TAL but I'm not sure Update#1 on Oct 16 2013 - first time in 35 days case update date changed to current date 16th October 2013 - still shows as AP Update#2 on Oct 17 2013 - the case update date changed to 17th October 2013 - still shows as AP Update#3 - got clearance email on Oct 31 2013 - asked me to submit the passport "in person" on a Tuesday or Thursday. I submitted the passport on Nov 5 2013 and got it back on Nov 7 2013. Drove back to USA the same night. interview date: September 11 2013 - got 221G yellow, VO took resume and I797 CEAC website update: Oct 16 & 17 Clearance email: Oct 31 PP submitted: Nov 5 (email said me to submit the PP in person on a Tuesday or Thursday) PP collected: Nov 7 - drove back to USA the same night I was in the same boat as you are now. My only comment will be that there is nothing we can do about it. So just wait and try to have fun :) Wish you all good luck Kalyan, thanks for the update. Very thoughtful of you to update. Today is my 49th day. I'm hoping my approval comes through on/before the 50th day just like yours did! Wish you all the best in future endeavors. Link to comment

I have read from the posts - YES, if you have multiple entry VISA to canada, you can leave and come back (Please check with attorney before you make up your mind. 2. Your case is exactly like my case, but I'm not on EVC, I'm a FT. I got a Yellow and Blue form. My research work falls under TAL, so the VO asked to submit my resume, publications & source of funding. I submitted my resume & 2 publications to the email address written on the blue form, by the VO. Now I'm in the waiting game. 3. My officer didn't tell me anything, she just told it needs to be further processed. I told my officer is anything wrong from my end. She told there is nothing, It's a normal process. 4. Usually they request docs on your blue form. As said, they requested your resume, publications and source of funding, & you submitted. If they need anything further, they will request you and you can communicate through your email. I have a question to u - What major are you in ? Please add your entry to "checkee". NOTE: Folks, please add your info into "checkee" - for easy tracking (look my post @ Posted 10 November 2013 - 12:54 PM) Link to comment

NIVApplicant Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I have a question. When they will approve the Visa for you.

bi2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 My friend today had interview in Jamaica. He is EVC model and did masters in chemical engineering. Right now working as Progammer Analyst. His visa is approved without much questions asked. I am very happy for him and at the same time very pissed off about Toronto consulate processing. This doesn't make any sense. I reached 40 days today. Link to comment
