No, the call center wouldn't assist with any visa decisions. Will have to wait for a week I would say. For anything other than approved status they would send a detailed explanation like a 221G form. Check your DM!!

Paid for expedited delivery. Since these Purolator guys were lazy to take the elevator had to go to their location with my door tag to pick up my passport.

Yes, it gets delivered overnight ( I chose option 1). My wife chose pickup at a store near her office a min away and she picked it up around 11 am the next day as well.

No email today as day 1 after status change. My lease is ending on 30th. My concern here is Should I try to stay here for another month or just get Airbnb for a week or two in case my process spills over in next month?

@H1bissue
No one can say for certain whether your case will go to next month or it will be adjudged this month itself.

I'm now thoroughly confused. I called the Canada NIV helpline number on their website.

And I was told explicitly that I must answer "NO" to the question :

Are you traveling from another country to apply for a U.S. visa in Canada?

They said that as long as you have a PR card you should answer no to this :|

Hi @missedTheGCBus - I'm in the same situation as yours. Questions:

1. Curious what did you end up selecting "yes" or "no" for that question -> Are you traveling from another country to apply for a U.S. visa in Canada?
2. Did you go for dropbox option or an interview?
3. Either case - what happened? Did you get your H1b Visa stamped successfully?

Please help..If possible please email me at shadabsiddiqui7 at gmail.com

Thanks,
Sid

Totally agreed. Just mess of a system. I’d rather had in person interview.

Just got an update in DS 160 status. It has changed to “Administrative Processing “ today. My last update was “Refused” on Nov 15th. Does anyone know what’s happening now?

Just got to hold on. Now they'll make an actual decision in your application. Since it's a Friday I would say to be patient till next week so you'll see a change in status.
