Hi all -
I am a German citizen in the US with an H1-B visa in my passport. The stamp expires, I have the new approval notice already in my hands. In the past I was able to go to Canada on a specific day and consulate location that I would have an appointment for, show up in the morning, present all the forms, pay a fee and pick up my visa/passport in the afternoon. I just signed up again as I always did for an appointment in Canada (Montreal) but the confirmation letter I received states that after Jan 1, 2004, visa pick-ups on the same day are no longer possible. Most of the times it would take three business days. Can anybody confirm this? Is this really the case even for H visas? Was it really three full business days?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
