Today I got notified of US visa " B1/B2" issued on my RTD without interview.
just extending my old US visa on my seized national passport.

note:
- I crossed US Canada borders on 2021 and I wrote the date of leaving USA on my letter to consulate.
- I don't have PR, still in processing.
- sent all documents by mail no interview " waived by the system - you answer couple of questions and based on that "

so i wanted to share the info here for anyone who would like to ask about this subject. goodluck all.

Congrats .. but as I know after you complete your DS application, you should book an appointment for interview and in the interview they will give you the decision right? How you mailed your documents? You should bring your documents with you in the interview day.

Can you please explain to us?

Thanks and congrats again.

I had old US visa on my seized national passport

so if you had old visa within last 10 years and you apply to the same category of visa, you won’t need an interview. The system will ask you to send documents by mail. If you don’t have old visa then you have to apply to an appointment for an interview.

OK I got you .. Sounds good and thanks for sharing this.

So while you answer the questions in the interview portal you will answer "Yes you have valid visa" then the system will waive the interview and direct you to mail the docs right?

Very strange that your old visa hasn’t been cancelled. Typically when you claim asylum in Canada you US visa gets cancelled.

Hey thanks for the info, I would like to know how long was the whole process ? Also the address you should mail it, is in Canada? If it’s in which province also which province you from?

i don't know, i didn't get any notice or email about cancelling of my old visa.
You typically don’t get a notice. Anyone who claims asylum in Canada shouldn’t assume that they still have a valid US visitor visa and should verify with the US.
