[sreekar545]

Anyone from toronto got issued status from approved after apr 17?

Approved on 19th and issued on same day. My wife's H4 got stuck in APPROVED though

I am in same boat, did you get the anwser? Are Closed WP holder eligible for drop box?

Technically no, it worked for some people and some people were asked to come for an interview too, so if you don't want to waste your time, better go for interview.

Lol, everyone wants appointment quickly, who wants to wait? the only way is keep checking or pay someone and let them do it for you, so when something opens up, you grab it quickly, that's it!! Appointments in Canada aren't that bad to begin with, I honestly could've done it faster via appt than dropbox.

Anybody got their passport status changed to Issued after May 10th, 2023?? Mine is approved on May 10th and still waiting for next steps. Anyone in the same boat, Toronto consulate?

hi!
I am planning to apply for H1b renewal (dropbox) in Canada.
I used this website to try and get appointments https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv/groups/35250656
is this right?
Also, Document Delivery Location is already selected when we create the profile. Can I change it when I schedule the dropbox based on the available dates?
E.g. I choose Toronto PO box location, but I get earlier dates in Calgary, can I change the pickup/delivery location to Calgary address?

Yes thats the site.
There are no date selection for dropbox. Once you fill the questionnaire, if you are eligible, you will be asked to send the docs to whatever PO you have selected, thats it.
