Guys,
A question on visa stamping.
Can a person on H4 (currently in US), get visa stamping done in Canada and still qualify for interview waiver (if other criteria is met)?
Person is an Indian resident and has Canada visitor Visa.

Hey guys, my documents for H1B/H4 visa stamping were received by the consulate on 15th. The ceac website said the following:

"Application Received
Application ID or Case Number: AAXXXXXXXX
Case Created: 16-Mar-2022
Case Last Updated: 16-Mar-2022
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."

Now - as of yesterday - I see the same status but the date on "case last updated" line has changed:

Can you pls share what happened after this pls

If any of you guys have seen this at your end?
