Delay in Vancouver for H1B revalidation.

I went for my H1b revalidation to Vancouver last week, hoping everything would be smooth. However, the officer informed me that it would take some additional time (as early as 2 weeks but could be longer). They said they would call me on the cell phone when the processing is complete.

My paper work is perfect as it can be and no past visa problems of any kind.

So my question to the informed people of the forum is -

1. What could happen from here?

2. The officer returned my passport and 797. I still have a valid h1b visa for another 3 months and a valid I94. I hope based on that I can re-enter US without any issues? Right?

3. What happens to my H1 status in the interim? I hope my status is valid till my I-94, right?

4. What if they do not call?

Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
 
Question for Napoleon

Napoleon,

Can you share when your last H1B visa was stamped? Have you faced any problems in the past for visa stamping? I have an appointment at Vancouver next week and I am very worried after reading your posting. Can you please let me know your email so that I can contact you offline?


Thanks
 
My last visa was stamped in US (St louis) and before that in Delhi. I never had any problems in past, this was the first time.
Bottomline you should be prepared for delays, if you are unlucky then you may get delayed but usually in most cases you will be fine.
 
Hi,
I had my interview on July 13th and everything went smooth and got the passport the next day. This clearance can take some time from 1 week to some weeks. Just hope that you get it quick.

Congrats shamikali,

Could you please share little more information here?

Like documents, questions asked by VO?

Was your case a revalidation of H1-H1 or something else? For which year of H1 you got you visa stamped.

Please share.
