H1B Stamping Dropbox in Canada

[bhullarg]

Update on my case -


I just got an email to schedule my appointment. Earliest date that I got was Jan 7th. The email said the following.

"The U.S. Consulate in Toronto has received your visa application. However, your application does not qualify for the interview waiver program and you require a personal interview. Your passport will be returned to you through Canada post. Please proceed to schedule an appointment after you have received your passport."

I am a Canadian PR, my last stamping was through Dropbox in Toronto. The only thing that has changed for me is the employer. I am assuming that disqualifies for Dropbox now.

Yes, My case was similar and the visa officer told me that an interview was requested due to a new employer.

Ok. They should just update the questionnaire to reflect this criterion for Dropbox. Almost 20 days were wasted for me. Did you get a 221 when your passport was returned due to Dropbox ineligibility?

Hi Guys quick question.

As a Canadian PR holder (Indian Citizen) I know I am able to go through Dropbox for renewing my H1 visa. But does anyone know if the Spouse is applicable too for this? My wife is an Indian Citizen on H4 visa but only has Canadian Visitor Visa.

Anyone recently did dropbox in Vancouver for H1B ? If so how is the timeline ?
