Hi All 

 

I had my interview for my H1B stamping in Ottawa  on Dec 3 .

VO did not ask much questions , in the end he said he is approving my H1B stamping.

He also said I would be receiving my passport in 3 business days .

 

on Dec 6 , I checked my status on https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

it shows as Administrative processing . 

 

I have couple of my friends here whose visa has been approved at the same time , their status shows as Issued .

 

Is anybody facing the same problem ?

VO did not tell me any problem with the PIMS 

 

Regards

My wife has the same issue her H1B visa was approved by VO on 29th Nov. No passport yet. CEAS site just shows ready and last update is still 29th. But when we called DOS visa specialist she says its Admin Processing.

 

How can we tell its PIMS or not?

Is there a way to talk to VO or someone from Visa office?

@ all

 

I got an email with waybill number and i should be able to pick up on monday 

It seems like you will have to wait for 3-5 business days . also I was told the first friday of every month is holiday for embassy . 

i hope you all get your passport soon , all the best

 

@ sanjay2011

 

I went to counter 2

That information is wrong .Canada consulate is not closed on the first Friday of the month...There are some US consulates in Africa which are closed on the first Friday of the month but not the ones in Canada.

 

Anyone from Toronto still waiting for their passports ?

mine is just ready since 2nd december

from my understanding ready is actually the first step which changes to administrative processing to issued

 

i know thers one more person on this forum who is in the same boat.

is there someone else who has been through the same **** and eventually gotten out of it? and when and how long did it take?

Sanjay did he send mails or any kind of follow up ? Did he go  to the consulate to complain about this or just played the waiting game ?
