H1-B STamping from Toronto
Salam,
I just returned from Canada after going through H1-B stamping at the Toronto consulate.
I was subjected to security clearance, which came in 8 days, plus 2 additional days to get the passport back from the consulate with the visa stamped on it. Other than that it was pretty smooth. They just looked at my I-797 and nothing else. Another friend of mine was told to wait for 1 month, others got it next day, don't know what the criteria is. Be prepared to stay atleast 2 weeks or so. Mine was a renewal, I already had a H1-B stamp from Islamabad embassy.
Also when returning to US, make sure that you go to the airport 3 hours in advance, since your immigration will take place at the Canadian airport and not in the US.
Hope this will help.
