Successful Stamping @ Vancouver on Feb 22nd

[ram_ravalkol]

Hello Everyone,

First, I would like to thank Murthy for this forum and every one for sharing their experiences. I have been following this forum for more than a Month and it was of great help.

This is how the interview went. I was called to counter 5 and handed over the DS-160 and passport.

ME : Hello officer, How are you?

VO : I am fine. How are you?

ME : I am fine, thanks.

VO : So, You are on US on H1 visa?

ME : Yes.

VO : Is this your first Visa?

ME : No (I got Visa stamping done twice before).

VO : Where did you get your previous visas?

ME : I told him where I got the visas stamped.

VO : With the same employer?

ME : Yes.

VO : You work for XXX and they are based out of YYY right?

ME : That is correct.

VO : Do you work at XXX or at client?

ME : I told him I work at client location ZZZ.

VO : Did you come here before? I remember discussing about ZZZ.

ME : No, I did not come here before.

VO : What do you do for ZZZ?

ME : I explained him what I do.

Then the officer was doing something on his computer (I guess he was searching for client and my employer). After couple minutes...

VO : Your visa is approved. You can pick it up from Loomis office in 3-5 business days.

ME : Thanks officer.

VO : You bet.

ME : Have a good day!

VO : You too.

It was fairly easy except for couple hours wait in the cold. I was not asked for any other document during the interview. Waiting for the passport now...

Can you provide some more details like the model whether it was EVC/ EC or full time ?

Also have you done masters in US ?

RW 2012,

bkon02,

Thanks... Congrats to you on the visa approval.

I got the way bill number yesterday evening. But its not ready for pick up yet. I am hoping it would be ready for pick up today.

At what time did you get it in the evening??

Try calling the DHL branch. I remember seeing in Murthy forums that though the status does not say Ready for Pickup, they must have already have it ready but must not have updated the status. Here is their number 1-604-665 6510
