221g Green slip.
I had an interview for my H1B in Ottawa and VO gave me a Green slip 221g and returned passport.
VO asked a couple of questions.
Current company name.
Job responsibilities
How many years on H1B
was on H1B before that
Where from I renew my passport
In which year you visited your home Country
Did I maintain my status
Then VO asked for the resume (I have a hard copy) and kept checking and later asked for the university details.
In the end, VO told me additional documents needed and gave me a green slip 221g. In the additional document, I need to email my resume only which I emailed.
Any idea how long it will take?

Thank you!

Can you share what’s your background? Are you contracting, FTE? Working remotely? Etc.

I am an Environmental Engineer and working full time. Its hybrid.
Thanks, but do you reside in Canada? Work in US, travel daily?

Was this an extension or amendment?Sending resume is not uncommon during extensions/amendment. My attorneys have always asked for an updated resume.

I am on Visitor Visa. No

No, first time H1B and stamping.

I saw one recent post where VO asked for the resume and Transcript and in 2018 and 2019 VO asked resume from sizable number of applicants.

Hello Everyone,

I recently went to H4 stamping in Toronto and i was given 221G saying it has nothing to do at my end and there is a documentation verification on their end and I got the email next day asking for my husbands H1 approval notice, I sent it immediately.

anyone in the same boat, if so in how many days you received the passport ? Is there anyway to track the passport

You can check the status on that website. CEAC (state.gov)

After getting 221g were you able to see the changes in the appointment portal under ----Applicant actions ---- details----- then go end of page there is "Follow-up Action History" is there anything?

I just checked it and it says this. Pls advise

Your case is open and ready for your interview, fingerprints, and required documents. If you have already had your interview, please check your status after two business days.
For more information, please visit U.S. Consulate General Toronto.

No, I am still waiting to hear back from the Embassy.
Ok. When was your interview? Usually about 6-10 weeks processing time.
