H1B Stamping OTTAWA PIMS Update

[mystical10]

Hi,

I went to my visa interview on Feb 25th, 2013. The officer asked a couple of questions about my job and said he doesn't see anything wrong. But he said the system is running slow (PIMS) and can't tell me it's approved if i do hear anything it would be by the end of the work day in an email. He gave me a instruction sheet of paper and said to go to Loomis branch to pick it up on Wednesday.

It is now Feb 27th, no email regarding rejection or even if the passport is ready. The applicant summary on my account doesn't have any update. I leave tomorrow evening after 6pm, i'm just worried it will be delayed and i would have to forfeit my return flight and extend the stay.

Anyone in this situation please advise on how long it took??

Thanks in advance.
