There are lot of hotels in downtown ottawa within 10 min walk and 2 min by bus or car from the embassy. I stayed at Econo Lodge Downtown. Good place to stay and was around $65 USD.
 
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 onsulate.
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

My question is what they decided on my application? Some body here mentioned that they take finger prints only when they decided to give stamping Is that right?

thanks in advance
