I 797 was held at Toronto consulate along with my Passport

Hi,

 

I have a quick question, I had my visa interview Oct 18th, 10am. Everything went great and I was granted the visa.

1. Went to the counter to get my passport and DS 160 confirmation page in a blue folder and she stamped a seal on the confirmation page.

2. Went to the counter and have given the latest I 797 and got the token number.

3. Finger prints were collected and she uploaded my white background picture to the record.

4. A Chinese (Non-Indian Asian) lady was the VO and asked few questions related to,

my company,

what do they do,

what is my role and responsibilities,

how long was I employed by the company and then she verified some information on the computer and said that the VISA is APPROVED and i will get an email in 3-5 business days.

She gave me a white paper which has the details of collection of my passport.

I was happy and relieved that I just walked out of the consulate. I realized after getting into the cab that my I 797 was also with the consulate officer along with my passport.

 

My question is, will I get my I 797 back along with my passport or do I have to go back to the consulate to get this document? Is it normal to retain the I 797 after the interview or was it my mistake?

 

Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Dilip.
