Guys,
A question on visa stamping.
Can a person on H4 (currently in US), get visa stamping done in Canada and still qualify for interview waiver (if other criteria is met)?
Person is an Indian resident and has Canada visitor Visa.

Hey guys, my documents for H1B/H4 visa stamping were received by the consulate on 15th. The ceac website said the following:

"Application Received
Application ID or Case Number: AAXXXXXXXX
Case Created: 16-Mar-2022
Case Last Updated: 16-Mar-2022
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."

Now - as of yesterday - I see the same status but the date on "case last updated" line has changed:

Can you pls share what happened after this pls

If any of you guys have seen this at your end?

Just an update on my experience getting my first H1B stamped in Canada as a new PR.

I kept an eye on cancelations of H1B appointments in the US consulates in Canada. Way too many slots showed up within a two-week timeline from the date I was searching on. Also, for some reason, all of a sudden, the US embassy in Ottawa opened up slots for almost 8-10 days. Though initially, I was worried about not finding an appointment, I eventually found a suitable slot in Ottawa and yes my H1B was approved.

Hey so did you book appointment after doing your landing process? My husband has COPR & we are looking for same route to get our first H1 stamping done.
