Hi All,
I had a interview for my H-1B stamp at Vancouver on June 15th. I got the 221(g) and a slip with will call. Let's hope they call me back soon.
 
Hi,

I had interview at Vancouver on June 24 and I got the 221(g) and a slip with will call.

tux78 did you recieve the call from them?
 
Yes, I am back in the USA. I had the interview Tue (June 15), got the will call slip. Then I emailed Thu night. Around 3pm on Friday (18th), I got the email, picked up the passport on Monday (21st).

best wishes and good luck.
 
Hello tux78 congrats man and thanks for replying . During the interview date did consulate officer tell you how long it will take. Do you know what processing they did? Like PIMS, name check etc..
I would really appreciate if you can please send me the format of the email which you sent.

I am in similar situation and I am counting days...

I will appreciate your help.
 
Hi,

They didn't tell me the exact date just said it should not take terribly long. Not sure, what they checked, I didn't ask.

I emailed vancouverNIV@state.gov with my reference number in the subject line and basically asked whether they can provide any update.


Btw, if you are looking for cheap accoomodation, I will recommend Patricia Inn near Chinatown, it is a 20/25 minute walk to the consulate and there is a bus that goes near by as well.

let's hope you hear from them soon.
 
Hi Thank you for the update.

Did you also recieve the form which says "Further processing required for special registration". Did they keep your passport after interview.

Thank you again for keep posting
 
Yes, they kept the passport and my I-797 after the interview. I don't recall the form. It was a white 221(g) slip saying "Will Call".
 
VISA approved

My timeline:

Visa interview: June 24th
Clearance recieved: July 13
Visa stamped and passport picked up: July 14

Recieved 221g with note that they will call

They say every case is different and can't predict how long it will take. It was not easy to stay without knowing how long it will take.
But fortunately my misery ended in 20 days.

Good luck and hope that everyone will get their visas soon.
