  1. Post successful interview, does anybody see goof-ups in the visa appointment service tracker website? Currently the details (passport dispatched, though yet in transit with the courier) in the applicant section show a wrong entry in my case. The "Visa Class" field shows a B2 Tourism / Medical Treatment Visa instead of a F2B immigrant entry visa. sure this is not unheard of.
  2. Hello, Visa Interview (F2B) was successful. My appointment was at 8:15 AM. reached early, (stayed literally within the block) at 7:30 which is also the time the Embassy opens up. Security Personnel looked at the managing personnel (Indian), who rolled her eyes and let me in anyways. Wont go into the security detailing procedures, since @Trushal Patel and a lot many have explained in detail in this thread anyways. Was first up in the line of interviews for the day. Climbed up, and my token was shortly announced in a matter of minutes. If your DS-260 has been clear and the same from the day it was approved, (no matter how long ago, it was approved), the first part of the interview (where, you're called to submit your docs) should be pretty smooth and brief. I was only asked for an updated RCMP clearance, passport picture, passport, birth certificate and latest tax forms and W2s from your petitioner and sponsor, if you have one. Rest of the stuff just included confirming details regarding me and the petitioner ( in my case, my father). After that was complete, I was summoned again for the main interview in a matter of minutes. The officer was a jolly, middle aged gentleman. Here are the questions I as asked after being asked to take the oath: Who's petitioning for you? Are you single? (as relevant to the type of visa) Where's your petitioner staying now? Since my father had been residing in Boston, he found some common ground and we chatted about his hockey games in the town he'd played, in. Amongst other things, we'd talked about Boston, its beer, Southies, and Mark Wahlberg. Shortly after that, I was asked when was the last time I was in the US and how long. I was there in the US (student visa and subsequently OPT) for about 6 years before immigrating to Canada. I said, "Well I was there on a student visa..." where I sweetly cut off by nodding and "Oh perfect..", followed by "No, illegal presence /, or anything of that sort?", I said No, "perfect, your visa's been approved, Thanks". He handed me the paper for the courier instructions. I was off the premises before actual interview appointment time had even started. Most of the interview time, we made more small talk than talking about the real thing. Was fun and quick. I got the email from the embassy about my visa (passport) being dispatched to to the Courier (Canada Post) the same day, and an email from Canada Post confirming the same. Receiving my passport in less then 3 days. (because of the weekend) My Warm Thanks to all the people in this thread who have previously shared detailed accounts of their experiences. Its helped me to make important decisions and be updated about the process.
