Aakanksha Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi all, I got approval email today at around 11:30 AM. Appeared for interview on 24th Oct (Monday) got approval on 3rd Nov (Thursday). Best of luck to everyone here. @Arslan Congratulations to you. Would you mind sharing what is your profession? I am trying to find out if anyone who has obtained approval works in R&D Link to comment
Aakanksha Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi Friends Finally I got approval email from embassy. It seems if you can have your client send the letter with contact number then there is little surety that you will get approval. I received email at 10 am.. and saw it at 10:45 am. Consulate ppl only work till 11am and they are closed tomorrow so I will need to wait until Monday to drop my passport. @Kanny Congrats to you, would you mind sharing your profession? Link to comment
arslan Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 @Arslan Congratulations to you. Would you mind sharing what is your profession? I am trying to find out if anyone who has obtained approval works in R&D I work in financial sector. Link to comment

Aakanksha Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 @hero2007 Did you get the 221g blue? Also, do you mind sharing your profession. I appeared on Oct 24th and still waiting. I guess we are the minority since most people received approval within 4-10 days. When was your interview? Link to comment

I am probably flagged under Technology Alert, do not know if your case might be getting delayed for same reasons as mine. keep posting @Aakanksha I work in the accounting field. I am not in the R&D or Computer field. I have been waiting for the last 2 weeks. Were you issued a blue 221g? I wonder what kind of background check they have to do that takes this long. I am kind of confused. Link to comment
rockerz Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hello All, I got an update from my client manager that the consulate contacted them. Can anyone let me know how long does it take them to take the decision or they gonna contact vendors and employer too? Please let me know. Link to comment
Aakanksha Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I received the approval email today. I wanted to ask you guys what happens when you go to drop off your passport fro stamping. Are you only required to carry the printed copy of the email and passport and stand in the same line? Do we need to schedule another appointment? Did anyone request that the passport be returned by hand? Do they ever agrree to do so and if not, in how many days does it arrive by dhl? Link to comment

stuckinottawaOct31 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi Attended interview for H1 stamping on 1st November, was issued 221g blue for TAL, He returned my I797, also took back my passport, he only wanted my resume and the export license that was issued to me for my work. It has been a week now. Hopefully will not take too much time Both my wife and I got 221g Blue forms in Ottawa on 31st Oct 2011. She's applying for first time H1 (changing from F1) and I'm here to renew my F1(i've been in a PhD program for 5 years now). We both are in the biosciences field. The VO was the same for us on 31st. He didn't ask us much, we didn't have to provide him anything additionally. He even said in both our cases that the visa will be granted but required further processing. Its 10th Nov now and we've not heard from the consulate as yet. Link to comment
