jai@nyc Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I was also told same thing on 18th. Did you receive any email regarding your passport yet? Link to comment
yarlagaddaanji Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Congrats, Friendly suggestion. Do not rely on LOOMIS site for pickup status update. If the Embassy site shows in transit that means its ready for pick up. Link to comment
PIMS_OTTAWA_NS Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hi, I had the similar situation on 19th Nov 2013. VO kept my passport and give me that normal page which they give to everyone. While giving that page he said there is delay in your process but didnt mention about PIMS. But I saw him circling "NO PIMS UPDATE" on one paper. Later I asked him is it approved. He replied not technically. I am really worried and just waiting for updates. It's really confusing. Can you please update me once you get any updates on your case? Thanks. Link to comment
ashwin809 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hi, Congrats on your visa approval. Could you please tell when what did you answer for "what do you do in US?". I have my stamping on 3rd decemeber so just trying to understand. Thanks, Ashwin. Link to comment
unlikelyrd Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hi karpra26,May I ask you when did you got your H1B? what are the other alternatives to expedite the process that might cause because of PIMS update? FYI, I have my interview scheduled at Ottawa US consulate on Nov 27th. Hoping for your kind response. Link to comment
kmadanu Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 When did you get your approval? How long after the approval did you face the interview? Please let me know. Link to comment
PIMS_OTTAWA_NS Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Any updates?? Link to comment
Roy Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hi Kapra26... when did you get your H1 approval? I got mine in Nov... did you try to send an email to update PIMS before you attended the interview? Link to comment
reddymadhini Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 You don't need to worry. I was on the same boat ( I attended my visa interview in Aug ) , as I have applied for H1 B amendment , there was not much time to update PIMS. VO gave me white 221 G and mentioned PIMS on the sheet. After 3 business days , My status changed to Issued . Nothing to worry. You will get your passport. Till then visit some nice places in Ottawa :-) Good Luck. Link to comment
rkt Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hi Guys, I was interviewed on 18th nov, visa approved but the status has not updated since then, since then status updated an hour back but status stayed same - "Administrative Processing" Link to comment
