Got Stuck in Toronto after visa interview on June 17th

[DS_123]

I had interview on June 17^th No PIMS found written on DS160, no documents asked no 221g but VO said You will receive email within 4-6 days if they need any documents, kept my passport i797 ds160 confirmation, gave white sheet with instruction on it how to collect my passport if visa approved. On June 21^st I received an email to submit H1B petition with all supporting documents as filed to USCIS, a letter from Job site, Taxretuns, W2s, Pay slips and Bank statements. Online update is showing admin processing. Anyone in similar situation please share…...How long this is going to take

Have you submitted the requested documents? If yes wait for the response.

admin processing means 221(g). 

 

The ball can drop either way, you may get your visa or it might be denied. It depends on how strong your papers are and willingness of your employer to pursue the matter if things start going south.

 

Best of luck.

Send this 1 week prior to your appointment to avoid 2-3 days of delay after your visa interview.
