My H1B expires in September but I am visiting Canada (PR Holder) for work in June. Can I apply for Dropbox. h1 is already stamped in India.

Yes you can. No issues. Keep your documentation ready and pay the fee and wait for dropbox instructions even before you enter Canada in June then as soon as you enter you can send the documents. This way you save time that takes for your dropbox even if you have limited time to spend in Canada and return to US.

Mine changed to approved on 2/16 and nothing further sice then, it says this currently, does it say for you also? I hope it is just normal ...

The consular officer has approved your application subject to final processing by the consular section that is necessary to issue your visa. When that processing is complete, the status will change to "Issued". However, a final screening step must still be completed prior to issuance that could lead a consular officer to conclude that you are not eligible for a visa. If that occurs, the consular officer will notify you that your application has been denied and your status will change to "Refused".

Sent in my application for H1B and H4 ext and it was received on 02/21.
Current status says - Application Received.


Your case is open and ready for your interview, fingerprints, and required documents. If you have already had your interview, please check your status after two business days.
For more information, please visit U.S. Consulate General Vancouver.


Is this normal @pepperminttmocha @ryeCatcher even for interview waiver?
