Aravind_615 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 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 Link to comment

itsmeusa Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Under Admin Processing, if US Consulate needs more documents, they will contact you. If it's PIMS related, they would wait to get your case reflected in PIMS. Either way, you would know what's happening soon. Link to comment
sanjay2011 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 My H1B extension is approved Jan 2013 - will i have PIMS Issue? My friends H1B Extension is approved Aug 2013 - Will he have PIMS Issue? Correct me if am wrong ,i was reading in forums that PIMS issue will happen only if our H1B is recently approved? is it true Link to comment
jdjoe Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hi, I am in the same situatuation .I had my interview in Toronto Dec 2nd Monday. VO said that visa is approved and will take 3-5 days... I have not received my passport as yet...And it show "Admin Processing" Do i need to check with someone ? Link to comment
days01 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 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? Link to comment

jdjoe Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 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 ? Link to comment
