I'm applying to renew my B1/B2 visa, so no need for an interview. Canada Post delivered my documents on November 29. My status changed from 'No status' to 'Application received' just yesterday. Maybe it can give you an estimate of the timeline....
US Embassy in Toronto - US visa appnts
- Thread starter poppedpluto
- Start date
My passport was delivered on the 5th of December but still I see no update. I sent mine through Canada Post on my own expense as the one provided in the email was not working at the counter.
Is there anyone waiting to get an update after passport being delivered to Toronto Consulate for stamping B1/B2 visa. I received a request for passport for stamping which was delivered to the Consulate Toronto dropbox on the 4th of December, but since then my online account still shows send documents.
Have you checked your status at https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx? It is there that I have updates. My visa was approved and my account still shows "send documents".
I have been constantly checking this link too but nothing is updated after requesting passport on the 30th Nov.
I sent the passport at my own cost through Canada Post to the dropbox of Toronto Consulate. Does it make any difference in terms of delay in my visa stamping. I was not able to access the free facility that was mentioned in the email.
hmm..i'm surprised the canada post guy sent at your expense..because they know the drill and that's exactly what would be expected of you/canada post by consular...if you got one generated from your uscis site...that means it should be valid. But hope for the best. call the consular customer service team.
