Is there even any staff working on H1B or J1s right now? I don't even recall seeing any straight dropbox approval for people that submitted in May

I have seen some posts on another forum where H1b from May time received passport back with stamp. But very few!

They are going at a snail's pace. I read on another forum that somebody reached out to the embassy by email and they said they were very understaffed at the moment

But why are they understaffed. They charge us a price for this and I think at this point I was hoping there was some option to pay a little extra and expedite the process. Like premium stamping, ha ha

I'm sure even for IRCC, if they had something like that, a lot of people would go with it lol. But I have no idea what's going on at the Embassy, especially since Summer would typically be peak demand months (I think)

I am in a very similar time line. Passport package delivered on 18th May. I am still waiting for "Application Received" Status.
 
It’s been six weeks since I received the initial application received update. Still nothing else on my end sigh. Hoping this week brings some good news!
