I know someone with your name got visa in Toronto. It all depends upon the paper work you carry along with you as well as your confidence/reaction during interview.

Q: Do they need to see original optional practical Training card as

I will carry original OPT card as well as letter that came along with it.
 
usnycus,
Thank you very much for the response.
The person whose name is similar to mine,
1. Approximatly when did he appeared for the Visa in TORONTO?
2. How many days it took to get the visa?
Is it beyond 3 days?

PLEASE reply , I would really appreciate this part of the information.
If there is too much delay, it may jeopardise my project situation
here in USA, so kindly reply at the earliest.

my experience at Toronto US consulate

was on F1 and OPT in Biotech field. I got H1 approval from a Research Non Profit Organization.

Mean while, I got my Canadian PR and landed recently in Toronto
and took an appointment for H1 B stamping.

Everything went well and they took index finger prints and
told me that 3-4 weeks for clearence from Washington DC.

Any body experienced the same situation @ Toronto US onsulate.
If so how many days they took to stamp H1?

It seems my profession is listed in TAL, TEchnology ALert list.

I have submitted all required documentation, Am I short of some thing which i overlooked?

When I took the apointment over phone they told me that its a matter of 2-3 days for clearance after taking finger prints.
But when I went to consulate in person its 3-4 weeks for stamping.

I am working now and took only a week off but Its tough for me to afford 3-4 weeks off i am little bit concerned about the time they take.

I appreciate if any body can share info with similar situation

My question is what they decided on my application? Some body here mentioned that they take finger prints only when they decided to give stamping Is that right?

thanks in advance
