One more thing she told that me and my wife passports are being done together. She said they process visa for a family together..

Status Update

Ours visas were approved today. My DC date was Oct 8th. They are now waiting for printing and Q&A. I am planning on traveling on the 2nd. Anybody have an idea what the chances are of them being mailed tomorrow. I also have used Airborne Express for return shimpent.
 
Rakram,

Airborne does not have a regular pick-up at the visa office. So when you find that your PP is dispatched call up Airborne and ask them to pick it up.

Please acknowledge that you read this message, otherwise I won't get sleep! :p :mad: ;)

I am planing to send my passport very soon for Visa revalidaion.
How long its taking for H1B revalidation in Washington DC? Also what is the procedure to send passports to their office and then how to check the status.

Also is it possible to get revalidation from Canada. I have canadian PR. so should I go to canada or should send passport to DC office.

Any help will be appreciated.
 
vahope4gc - goto http://travel.state.gov/hlop.html for instructions about the docs that u need to send.

As of now it takes approximately 105 day from the day you send your passport to St.Louis.

Please read other threads that talk about getting the stamp in Canada. The risk involved in it is if you get rejected at Canada, then you can't enter back into US. Make a search using the word "Canada" and select the "H Visa Issues at the Consulates and Visa Revalidation" forum before you submit the search.

All the best.
 
Well Guys, I got my PP. My first name is misspelled. The first name is a long one and they have missed an 'a'. It's not easily noticeable.

Also my I797 has validity until May 2004 whereas they have stamped until May 2005! This is a problem as I have extension approval with me for the period between May 2004 and May 2006. I planned to send for stamping again when I come back from India. Now I can't send it as planned, because the date at which one can send should be within 60 days before the visa expiry or 1 year after the expired date. I have to wait for an year and then send it. Who knows what problems I will have then!

What should I do guys? It's too late now to send back for correction, as Iam traveling on Jan 10th.

Iam scared to get the satmping with my extended approval in India as I hear all horror stories.
 
Hi,
My SL date was 24th Sep. I dont know my DC date. I am checking my FEDEX tracking everyday. No good news so far. Anybody can tell me the DC phone no. And what details I should tell them.

Thanks
Prasad
 
My visa got approved on 24th and is still not tracking on FEDEX.

I would assume 1 week at least from the time visa is approved till the PP is dispatched.

But with everyone in holiday mood now a days, who knows?

Keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.
 
I was following this forum. It was very helpful.

Here is my details:

Type: H1B
Sent: 19th Sep
St Louis Recvd: 22nd Sep
DC Entry: 6 Oct
Visa Apprved and Printed 31st Dec.
Will Be dispatched today or friday (at least this is what the lady told)
 
DS 157

Hi Guys,

Thanks for sharing your information. It will surely help new applicants like me for visa revalidation.

I had a question on form DS157. Question 13 asks to 'List all Professional, Social, Charitable Organizations to Which Yoy Belong (Belonged) or Contribute (Contributed) or with which You Work(Have Worked)'

Should I mention here all my employers. Should I enter employment information when I have already addressed Question 12 which asks 'Not Including Current Employer, List your last two Employers'.

Please advise what is to be entered (you may have kept photocopies of your application).

Another question is about fees. Is it advisable to send $100 MRV fee and $75 Reciprocity fee in seperate Money Orders or just one money order for $175 will do.

Third and last question being regarding 'Certified copy of Form I-94'. Is it not sufficient to send a photocopy; who can certify Form I-94.

Thanks,

Vijay

my lawer got approved stuff today from d.c after 221)g).
good lock to all and happy new year-204

bye
 
cool_whiskey,

Leave it blank. It's for entering any social organization that you have worked for and not your employers.

You can send a single money order. Remember if you are an Indian the fees is 100 + 50 (not 100 +75) (http://travel.state.gov/hlop.html)

Send your original I-94. If not get a photocopy and get it notary certified.
 
Camera_guy01,

I will let samc call on Friday. I will call back on Monday to determine the status. Looks like DC has already started processing early Dec cases
