@sw0605 and @Nkj222

Hey Guys,

So I applied on Nov 27th for the transit visa and my sister applied on Nov 29th. She received her approval email today (very bizzareo_Oo_O) and they have asked her to submit her passport for stamping !!! :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Now can someone please help me with below answers:

1) NY consulate is closest to us, so we can mail them our passport. Can we give it to someone local and that person gets our stamp on our behalf?

2) Also if the stamp is done in person, can I take the passport immediately or will I have to wait for them to mail me the passport?

Thanks in advance!

I do not know where my application was being processed. I just mean I will send my passport to New York because that is much closer.

IRCC call center can confirm the visa office where your application is being processed or you can guess based on your region. For West Coast, it is LA.

That’s very nice. Looks like NY is processing very fast. How about yours?

I think NY is processing very random :(:(:(
Because i applied on nov 27th and dint hear back anything yet and my sister applied on nov 29th and received her approval! Is it because she’s on F1? May be dunno, but I’m on F1 too and OPT extension. Thats the only difference between our statuses.

Unfortunately, not yet approved. It is still showing up in processing status. Mine is being processed at Los Angeles though. Not sure what can I do here other than try to find flight tickets for another airlines.

Maybe visitor visa goes faster. I actually just need to transit this time, but I applied for visitor visa for the future.
