Interview in Vancouver Dec3rd, no slip and no response

[maddy47]

Hi My friend had an interview in vanoucer on dec3rd @10:00AM, every question was answered correctly but the only thing was my friends petitioner is different from the one who ran the payroll.

payroll was run under the sister company. VO said they need to verify since VO never came across such kind of situation. She said it would take 2 weeks but later said it might be done in 3 days too. VO(she) took PP,I797,LCA,I129,Paystubs,Client email confirmatioin & my frnds phone number and said they will give a call in few days. Its been 5 days that we haven't heard anything yet. Contacted client manager and he said he was not contacted by anyone yet. Same with the employer and sister company.

Anyone else faced this kinda situation? Any idea of what verification does the US Consulate do in these situations? What are the chances of getting the visa approved.

Sent an email on Dec7th to the consulate asking for the status but no reply yet ...still waiting.

Please advice and share your thoughts.

Thanks.

Today we sent a 2nd email(1st was sent on friday) asking the status of the case and then they replied
