    beware when you call the 900 or 800 numbers

    Are passports in Toronto returned on the same day

    Folks: I would like to go to Toronto to renew my H1B visa. Do you know whether the passport is returned on the same day or on the next? What time do they return it? Of course, I am assuming that they would have approved the visa without conducting any background checks. Thanks.

    does current visa need to expire before renewal?

    My visa stamp expires on May 31, 2005. However, my I-797 is valid until May 31, 2006. Do I need to wait until after May 31, 2005 to go and renew my visa or can I do it prior to that date? Thanks

    A better way to track visa revalidation

    Folks: I noticed that there are monthly timelines posted for visa revalidation. However, it is not a good way to post updates. Instead, I think a better way would be for people who get the visa back from the State Dept. to post their timeline. For example, let us say I got the passport...
