H1b83 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 Hi Guys. I have an interview appointment next week in Toronto but I don't have my original I797 approval notice. I had asked my employer to mail me the document along with other necessary documents and they did but somehow Fedex lost the package! I and my employer have been calling Fedex and all they say is that they are looking for the package. With just 7 days to go for the interview, I am worried and can't decide what to do. Right now I am preparing whatever documents I have and hoping that they find the lost documents and mail them to me in time. But what if I don't get the docs in time? I don't think it is safe to go to the interview without the original approval notice, I94 and other employer docs. Or is it? Maybe I should wait for another I797 from USCIS and reschedule my interview... what do you think guys? Any suggestion will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
kittu7 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 One of my frnd lost his I-797 and he went for stamping in Vancouver and got approved. What he did is, he emailed US Consulate,Vancouver and asked if he can still go for visa interview without i-797 and they were totally OK with that. I suggest you the same. email US Consulate,Toronto. Good Luck.
H1b83 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Posted October 29, 2013 I have sent an email to the consulate explaining my situation. Hopefully they will reply soon.
H1b83 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Posted November 1, 2013 My interview is ON. FedEx found my package and delivered it to me. I also got a hospitable email from the Consulate saying that a copy is fine. :) Hoping for the best now
H1b83 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Posted November 8, 2013 Visa approved. The VO who interviewed me was very nice and asked me easy questions. VO questions: When did you graduate? Where did you graduate from? Who is your employer? Where is your employer based? Who is your client? What are your job duties? That's it! I referred to the below links to get Canadian Tourist visa and then US H1b visa.
