MrPraveen Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hi Everyone, I got lot of information from this site for my visa stamping. Now it is my turn to give information to others. I had visa interview on JAN 15 in Calgary Canada and it was approved for me. I got the passport on JAN 16 evening from Loomis Location. Here are the questions asked by Visa Officer VO- Will you be working to the same employer after returning to US Me - Yes VO- How long you have been working with your employer Me - i mentioned the Duration VO- Do you work at end client Me - yes VO - Who is the client Me - I told the name of the client VO- what is your Role and responsibilities Me - I gave my designation mentioned in my LCA and details VO - What is your highest education and where did you do? Me- gave the details VO- Is your employer paying on time. Me - Yes VO checked for my PIMS and said it was up to date. Then VO said that my visa is approved and i can collect my passport with 3-5 business days. My status was in Administrative processing on the same day and the next day it changed to Issued. For some people it took more than couple days for the status to be changed to Issued. Nothing to worry you will receive the passport with visa soon. FYI - If you see your token number on the screen in the consulate and if you find a person already at the same counter just wait until the other person completes his interview and leave the counter. Sometimes Visa officers might find this disturbing if you rush to the counter. Some people might feel tensed and excited . Please make sure your emotions are in control and be confident.

beebs Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Praveen, My interview was in Calgary on the 14th Link to comment
MrPraveen Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Beebs, I think it is a waiting game for you now, not sure what is causing this delay. By any chance did you go to Loomis branch and asked for the passport , may be your case did not get updated online but loomis might have your passport. Give it a try, never know anything can happen.
