If you have entered all the details correctly, the system should tell you whether you are eligible for dropbox or not. Be prepared to be called in person for interview (it is mentioned in the instructions)
Why do you call it a risk?
I scheduled an appointment in April 23, but I filled out another application that became eligible for Dropbox.. I have a travel Job.. have to visit US. If I get called for in person interview then I won't be able to go to US for 6 months...
Oct 18 (Tue): Ready for Pickup 11 AM (picked up the passport by noon) - Address on id card should match what was provided on AIS site. You can make changes for address in AIS site till the status in updated to "ISSUED" on CEAC)

No. You dont need to. Only submit the documents they ask for. Dont send unnecessary documents.
Sure thanks. Just checking people who got approval through dropbox whether they had submitted Client letters if they were consultants. Anyways it makes sense.
Okay so I need someone’s help here. I had scheduled for a drop off for my H1b visa documents in Vancouver. I sent the documents envelope using Canada Post to the Vancouver consulate. However, the next day I got a delivery exception with recipient not present. Anyone face anything like this before ? My docs are coming back to me but I double checked and the address looked correct. I even drove and visited the Consulate address to verify.
what address did you send the documents to ? On their website there are two addresses and Even in the instruction documents the things are a little confusing.
This is what their contact us page mentions:
1075 West Pender Street
Vancouver, British Columbia
V6E 2M6
Phone: 604-685-4311
Emergency Phone: 604-685-4311
Fax: 604-685-7175
Mailing Address (Mail from Canada)
U.S. Consulate General Vancouver
112 - 1231 Pacific Blvd
Vancouver, BC
V6Z 0E2
So to be clear, you have dropped the documents at the consulate directly instead of shipping them? And also you have dropped/sent documents almost after 75days after submitting your application? If yes, may i know what made you take a gap of 2 and half months?
