This is great! Unfortunately they requested an interview for me and sent back my passport. I’m unable to get an appointment until Dec 2022 so hoping there is some cancellation for me to get a sooner appointment.
When you say "they requested an interview" how did you get the interview request? Haven't you scheduled a slot already before you were asked to attend the interview? Or were you asked to send documents and then they have sent back your pp?

I was also asked to mail in the supporting documents and passport for B1/B2 renewal and I mailed my documents to US embassy in Ottawa on November 12 and they received it on November 15. I didn’t receive any update since then.

I booked my b1/b2 appointment back in may 2021 for Jan 2022. There was no drop box option then. Have been waiting very patiently since then for an earlier date.

Called the contact center to see if they can allow me the drop box Option but they said I have to cancel my appointment before I can even know if I am eligible for dropbox. Thats a risk I do not want to take.

So I am keeping my Jan 2022 appointment and hoping they don't cancel it.

If you are applying for a renewal of the same type of visa the system will assess if you can wave the interview
