H4 for minor who turned 14 at Ottawa
Hello Everyone, this page was a great support for me. thank you all for that.
My daughter turned 14 and this was her first stamping thereafter.my company lawyer advised me against going to Canada, Mexico but I needed the stamp so I anyways went. Here is the timeline
25 nov-Interview at 10:30 am. you first go through security check,they keep everthing, you just get to carry your documents inside. Next they verify documents, they checked my valid stamp, both our 797, my daughters birth certificate and my evl. Next she was fingerprinted and finally the VO took a short interview, he informed us that the visa is approved. he asked us to collect the passport next day. status changed to approved when we left the embassy.
26 nov-status changed to issued, passport was handed out at 3pm at the embassy itself.
Hope this helps!!

H1B Visa Renewal in Vancouver 15th Nov, 24: Passport not delivering: Visa Issued (Canada Postr Strike)
Hi,
I had my H1b visa interview on 15 Nov, in Vancouver.
Status changed to approved on 15th Nov(Friday) and issued on 18th Nov(Monday).
I opted for premium delivery via Canada Post, and there was a strike.
I was unable to select BLS location from the portal.
On 27th Nov, I contacted the embassy and they updated the location to BLS Vancouver.
Now, I have still not received my passport tracking number.
The portal has updated the address but when I click "continue" -> "update Delivery location", it lands on "Edit Courier Details" page.
There I am able to now see the timeline on the top, where it shows green check mark for "applicant information" but shows RED cross on Courier.
Note: I am able to change address to other BLS locations.
Has anyone else had similar experience, and how did they get past this (or had their tracking number available)?

Calgary H-1B Visa Appointment Status Changed from "Approved" to "Refused"
My spouse had her first time H-1B visa appointment in the US Consulate in Calgary on 11-12-24, process was very smooth, visa officer said I'm approving your visa and you will get your passport in 5 days (since we opted for premium delivery).
11-13-24: Visa status changed to "approved"
11-18-24: Visa status changed to "refused"
Not sure why the status changed from approved to refused.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Any idea what needs to be done next?

H-1B Visa Stamping in Calgary (Nov-12-2024)
Hello,
My spouse had her first H-1B visa interview appointment on Nov-12, 2024 at 8:30 am in Calgary. We opted for premium delivery of passport to the BLS International location and the visa officer said you will get your passport in 5 days. Status changed to "approved" on Nov-13, 2024 but no notification yet on the CAEC website of status changed to "issued" or an e-mail from usvisa-info regarding the passport being ready for pick up.
Notably, my visa appointment was on Nov-7, 2024 and I got the email for passport ready for pick up on Nov-12, 2024.
Anyone else with a similar appointment timeframe?
