L1-B visa interview and timeline

[user401]

Hi folks,
I have an upcoming L1-B interview in Canada mid-January, 2021. Has anyone recently had L1B interview and any status update they can share? I am concerned about whether the consulate will still approve L1B at this time and how long it will take to get the visa. The L visa ban should be gone after December, or technically...
Also a side question on DS-160: I have changed address after submission of DS-160 but there's no way of correcting this form at the current stage I believe. Would that cause any problem? I did not choice visa delivery to home address, so that part should be okay?

Any suggestions or comment is much appreciated! Thanks!

Usually 2-4 months for a normal L1 visa, Payment of the premium processing fee of $1410 will substantially reduce processing time. 1-3 weeks for an L1 covered by a blanket approval.

Did my interview today and my visa status is now under administrative check...hope everything goes well.

I think the premium processing fee is increased to $2500 now - but thats for the petition. Not for the visa.

I just completed my L1A interview at Vancouver ... Visa approved but officer told he needs to confirm my firms membership with chamber of commerce

It's an emergency appointment and completed interview on Jan 14. Passport was retained by officer

Visa status is refused under admin processing ... But officer told me that this will be the status till they confirm

Anyone else in this bucket ?

Did they say "refused"?
Also, any update on the case?

The case is still in refused status. I have reached out to consulate and they said it's in administrative processing ... All we can do is waiting !

Hey, sorry, but another follow-up. Is your employer a small organization? I mean by number of total employees? Or is it a large, well known company?

Hey, did you get a white 221g form? Or just approved and no 221g for given to you?

I will definitely update the outcome ... No white slip or any colour slip given

Just administrative processing
