NIVApplicant Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Toronto consulate's yellow sheet 221 g processing times are more or less 48-56 days! If you in TAL list then wish you a good luck...! Only one place could expedite your case is Washington DC!. Any senator's office could not do anything for you..! They could sympathize about your case. One thing everyone could do, to call FBI office to take initiative. First step starts there. I called every other office yesterday and learned those things .... You could google the numbers and start calling them. Link to comment

heuristix Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 NIVApplicant: You said "One thing everyone could do, to call FBI office to take initiative. First step starts there. I called every other office yesterday and learned those things .... You could google the numbers and start calling them." I have not read about this before. Could you explain who you called, and what you asked them for everyone's benefit? Link to comment

NIVApplicant Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 If someone is from Science background then call or emails to VISAS@nas.edu and 202-334-2807. They are really good. It could help you. The contact information of the FBI and the DOS: FBI: Tel: 1-202-324-3625 State Department directly by phone: +1-202-485-7600 (although this is an useless number people are rude and useless) Link to comment

f1studentOPT Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Kalyan, Heuristix, NIVApplicant, Does the consulate do same day print-and-return visas? Does anyone on the list have information regarding this? Link to comment
NIVApplicant Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 No, I submitted my passport on 19th and they told me that you can collect from loomies. I requested if they could end my pain. The lady was kind (as I was waiting for 50 days) enough and let me allow to collect it from consulate on Friday from 3-4 pm (22 November). You can not get it on same day, for sure. 2-3 days at least. Good luck... Link to comment
