Hello everybody..please help with your advise & experiences
1. Do I have to schedule separate appointment for H1 & H4 visa for myself & my spouse separately?
When I scheduled appointment for myself, it did asked for dependent details as well. Does that mean appointment for myself & myspouse is understood. It charged only once CDN 10 for appointment. So is it 1 or 2 appointments?
Also appointment letter says only my name?

Please help me understand this...Thanking you all..

----No, if both of you are traveling to the consulate together. Not sure how it is done separately.

----No issues.

These answers are based on my interpretation of the rules. I don't have any personal experience yet as I will be traveling to Vancouver for H1B/H4 visa interview next month.
 
check your profession comes under watchlist if so prepare for 3-4 weeks delay

I 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 Consulate.
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
