Went back home to renew my visa. The interview was good, but been waiting for more than 5 biz days for my passport. Who should I contact this time? Should I be worry that it got lost?

Vietnam, Hanoi office. The questions were simple . Just your job title, type of work and what did you study. Only need to show i797 approval notice. Very short interview but I’m now concerned my passport got lost

Keep patience. I am sure the passport is not lost.. They do this every day

5 biz days is very normal. Also account for Thanksgiving holidays.

Check for passport delivery status on CEAC website. Also there is email address which you can email with passport number in subject line and it gives automated replies with exact status.
I am going for interview next week. Would you mind telling what questions related to client work you were asked and what documents you showed the visa officer

Op which country, councelatte?

Already wasted a flight ticket as I was too optimistic about my passport

It took be 5 days before I got an email saying it was ready for pickup

5 business days of USA or Vietnam ? Consider thanksgiving if its former. And, they take like a week to complete admin processing (at least that’s case with US consulates in India) and then a day or so for passport shipping and delivery. I would not assume that they loose passport.

The thing is my friend who is on F1 already got her visa and I’m still pending. I’m H1B

Hello,

I moved to USA in 2017 on F1 visa. I was not selected for H1-B in the 3 years of my OPT. While my company is transferring me to Canada and can potentially get me back on L1 visa, the shifting situation is stressing me out. The thought of moving to another country in a couple of months is causing a lot of anxiety and tough luck with the lottery is making me feel depressed.

Any suggestions on how to cope with the situation? (Please be considerate in the comment) Thanks in advance!
