04082013 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hi Friends, When I was at Embassy for my interview on 8th April at Ottawa between 9 to 10.30 AM around 5 to 6 H1b Visa was approved including mine. Mostly People were EVC Model or so but I am full time employee of University in IT department. I did not speak to anyone out there. First there is security Check at Entrance similar to airport one. Then you walk to a officer where she takes your Passport, Appointment Letter to Embassy, DS 160, I 797 and Photo. She will ask you to go to counter where you will get Token Number. In my case it was counter 1. @ Counter one officer takes Passport, DS 160, I 797 and Photo. He asked letter from Employer and I gave him my Letter from HR, Project Manager and Offer Letter. In return he gives you Token Number, a laminated paper which describe about finger prints. Then counter 5 will take your finger print. Counter 2, 3, and 4 were calling for interview. I was called at Counter 4. ME: Good Morning Sir! VO: Good Morning. Welcome to Ottawa Embassy! ME Thank You Sir! VO: How long have you worked at USA? ME: 2 year VO: Where are you Working? ME Told about my Current employer and previous 2 employer. VO: Where do you stay. ME: Told my place. VO: What do I do? ME: Told about my roles. VO: Your highest degree is Bachelors? in What? ME: yes and it's in Computer science from ***** University in India. VO: How long would you stay? ME I told since this is full time i stopped here. VO: U will stay for 2 or 5 or 10 or never come back from US. ME: I told 2 years as of now because my visa is valid for 2 years. VO: I approve your Visa and gave back my all document except Passport. ME Thank You Sir! Guys don't worry about stamping. if u have all the documents then go for stamping. Officer did not ask me even one documents and not to anyone who were approved. I am just waiting that my passport comes as soon as possible and I go back to USA. Thanks for reading my experience..... Thanks & best reagrds, Shree Link to comment

04082013 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I collected my passport by 4.30 PM on 9 Nov at Ottawa. Some one has already posted that try to go to Loomis once status at https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx? Below is the link and I followed what ever Lincolnlion has described. http://forum.murthy.com/index.php?/topic/54502-collect-passport-from-loomis/page__hl__waybill__fromsearch__1 I went without way bill but I took copy of DS 160 where we get reference id. The guy gave me passport by using reference id. I took bus from ottawa to NY by 8.00 PM and by 5.30 AM on 10 April i was at NYC. It took me exactly 2 days. Link to comment
