dammit! There is no logic or sense to it afterall.
Mine doesn’t specify any date. Just says to upload the adr within 30 days of the adr request.
Yeah my deadline was also 30 days from the request of Adr. ADR came on February 18th. Hence, March 20th was the deadline.
I haven't ordered GCMS lately so no idea about due date.

It took me two days in Delhi, but what I have seen is, it depends upon the police authority for your region. Max it should be within 2 weeks.

Did the police verification take place at your residence or did they give you one without it? Did the PCC arrive within 2 days? Mine took 2 weeks two years ago when I did it last time. I have applied for it again just yesterday.

It's possible the officer has not yet assessed your PCC. Once he/she does, background and security will complete quickly (maybe even in a day). Almost there!

Will you be maintaining your H1 status after moving to Canada?

No I am cancelling my H1B status after moving permanently in the next few months. My company has a Canadian subsidiary and I will be working remotely for my US company through them (I do not work in tech, I'm an aerospace engineer). One probably can't maintain H-1B status anyway if one lives outside the US longer than 6 months continuously in any case.

I'm in Canada and I get through 90% of the times I tried (it takes about 10 - 15 calls to get through). I call early in the morning between 8 and 9am EST, and also in the afternoon after 2pm EST. I avoid Fridays.

The trick is:
  • when they ask you press 1 to enter your UCI, press 2 instead (to indicate you don't have a UCI), then
  • When you hear Afghanistan Press 1 and then 2 and then 0.
  • If you hear "we are busy...", hang up and repeat.
Continue till you hear "we are transferring your call..."

And don't hang up out of habit when you hear "we are transferring your call" :)
