vanasthali Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi, I attended the interview for my H1B Visa stamping at Calgary on 22nd Jan14. Thanks to all who shared thier exp on the forums here. I will be posting mine soon. The int went well and my visa was approved. But the consular/interviewer said that my petition was not online and it will be in a day or 2 for it be onlline.Then the passport will be sent to Loomis branch. She said it might 3-5 business days. Any body had the same issue before. What does petition was not online mean. Is it because i submitted DS-160 just 2 days before the interview. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

draj Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi - I had the interview on the same day and in the same situation as you are!! Did the VO say that your info was not updated in PIMS? Link to comment
MF3 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 If your h1 is approved by USCIS recently, there is a fair chance that PIMS may not be updated yet. In such cases, consulate usually try to reach out to find the status of your petition( just to re-cofirm). Should be cleared with in a day or two. Link to comment
