US Embassy in Toronto - US visa appnts

[hpreetsingh]

Hello everyone
I have applied for US B1/B2 Visa and at the time of application I was on study permit however now my status has been changed and now I'm on PGWP (Work permit).
My concern is Do I need to fill a new DS-160 form due to status changes ? Please share your experience and thoughts.

Hi All - Can anyone who commutes to the US for work but resides in Canada help answer this for me? How do you answer "Address where you will stay in the U.S" question in DS160? Do you enter work address?

Thanks in advance.

I sent my passport for H1b Extension Interview Waiver on April 8th, reached Toronto Consulate on 9th.
No updates yet on CEAC page nor AIS page. What is the ideal timeline I should be looking at?

I submitted mine for B1/B2 renewal under interview waiver and have the following time line:

Drop-off at Canada Post: 22-Mar
Delivered at Consular Section: 25-Mar (as per tracking informatin on Canada Post)
Case Created as per CEAC: 05-Apr
Current Status as per CEAC: Approved on 11-Apr

I am awaiting further updates. AIS website status has not changed and is still showing status as "Send Documents"

did you receive your passport back?

 

[VikTheRam]

No. I have not received it back.

I think the CEAC status has to change from "Approved" to "Issued" and passports are only sent back after that.

 

[onlinesb]

No. I have not received it back.

I think the CEAC status has to change from "Approved" to "Issued" and passports are only sent back after that.

so much backlog at TOR.
Did you have it set to be picked up or delivered to your address?

 

[VikTheRam]

I have it set up for pickup

Hey, was the status updated to "Case Created" on the same website/portal where it initially says "Send Documents"

My timelines are as follows

Drop-off at Canada Post: April 2nd
Delivered at Consular Section: April 3rd (as per tracking informatin on Canada Post)

Nothing After that - Status still shows "Send Documents". Documents were sent to Ottawa office.

The "Case Created" status appears on the CEAC website:
https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

On the AIS website, the status still shows "Send Documents"

My timeline so far for Toronto Consulate (Interview Waiver H1B renewal)

April 8th: Drop-off at Canada Post
April 9th: Reached Consulate
April 15th: Emailed Consulate for status
April 16th: Consulate replies saying normal processing timeline is 6-10 weeks.
And still shows "Your search did not return any data. " on CEAC status page.
