I applied in Detroit. They received my application on the 6th of June. I have not heard anything as of today. The website says it takes about 30 days. I'll post here when I hear from them.

It might take close to 30 days or even faster.It all depends on your luck.Hopefully you should get it faster.

Depends case-by-case.Generally you should be getting it within 30 days from date of your submission.Until recently same day pick up was available and due to the increasing demand they no longer accept in person applications.

Good Luck.

Thanks guys. Do we have to send I 797 original or should the photocopy sufficient?

[saxena638]

I sent my original 797 because the checklist from the Detroit website said so. But a lot of people in this forum says send a copy. So I am not sure what to suggest. Try calling them. 30 days are up today, still no news!!!!!!!

You don't need to submit original documents.Photocopied documents are sufficient.I have applied for CA Visit Visa in LA Consulate in-person and submitted the following docs:

Bank Statements - Previous 6 months or Statement from bank stating $amount balance.

Paystubs - Previous 6 months.

Money Order - 150$ from USPS.

Employment verification letter from your H1B holder.

I797 Copy.

Two Passport size photo's meeting the exact criteria stated in website or you can pick-up from Wallgreens stating your requirement.

Canada Visa forms.

If possible ticket reservation (I made a refundable reservation and cancelled it after taking a print).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I just checked the Detroit website. It says no more TRVs after June 18th. Check the website of all the CA consulates in US. All of them have recently made changes. Here is my suggestion. Check the website of the consulate you want to submit, or even call them and make sure they are accepting application and ask them what all they need.

In my previous post I meant no more 'temporary resident permit' in Detroit. I just realized that there is a difference between 'temporary resident permit' and 'temporary resident visa'. Sorry for the confusion. Once again please check with the consulate.
