I have applied for a H1-b visa interview in Toronto on Sep 1 through NVARS and got the confirmation letter. And then I also received a call from VISA office in Toronto and the lady informed me that my visa interview has been confirmed on Sep 1 and warned me that it might take 3-4 weeks for background check if Consulate deems it necessary.
Now this issue regarding background check is mentioned on NVARS website and also the letter but I never heard from anyone that they also make a call to confirm the appointment. I was wondering whether this call was just a routine call/warning or they only call those people with whom they anticipate trouble. I really got worried after getting the call.
I transferred from OPT to H-1b January ,2005 and valid until 2008. I came to US in 1999, finished my PhD on 2004 and now working as a visiting faculty in a university and this is the first time I am going outside US. With paperwork, I do not anticipate any problem.
By the way, I am from Bangladesh and Bangladesh was under special registration requirement while that law was in force. Is the call that I got from VISA office has something to do with nationality?
I am really worried now...I have made all the plans regarding travel and after this call I am thinking whether I should cancel.
I would highly appreciate if any body has any suggestions.
Thanks
