H1B Dropbox at Vancouver - Timeline & Experience

[riteshsjoshi017]

For the dropbox , do we need to mail all original documents. Like original I-797, and original work permit of Canada. Or the copies of each document?

My dropbox application was rejected by officer at Vancouver, WP does not consider as residency proof.

Is it critical to have same consulate on DS160 and the location one chooses for Dropbox? I have my DS160 filled for Toronto but seeing the processing times, I am thinking to send it to Vancouver

Hi all, i'm also doing the same thing. Currently living in the US and going to VC to get it stamped. I have entered my US address as both permanent and "place im going to stay in US".

1. Should i redo my DS160 with my indian address or my canadian address as the permanent address Or can i leave it as the US address ?
2. i'm a new resident, so can i use my CoPR as proof of legal status in canada ?

None of the on-call agents are able to confirm this, they keep asking if i have a PR card or not.

Thanks!

Did you go for visa interview after dropbox rejection..and does US consulate give any link to book appointment that are not available to general public.

@kris72 @ripster85 Thanks guys. I am currently in the US and plan to enter Canada in a couple of weeks and then submit DS-160 to complete drop box procedure. Do you think I better stick to this plan or is there any benefit of me completing everything (submit DS-160, ensure drop box eligibility, print out everything) from the US and the only thing remaining would be to stop by Canada Post after crossing the border?

Hi,
How was your experience? I am planning to do the same thing?

Hi , can you detail the steps that are required for dropbox.

Hi - I'd like to know eligibility for dropbox as well. I've booked appt in Ottawa but not sure if this is a visa interview or drop box. I'm eligible for dropbox in India but Canadian website doesn't seem to explicitly state that
