Current Passport valid for travel to the United States. General Required Documents - For All Visa Types The following documents are required for all visa types:ġ. I don't think they are needed but I just added them since I had them from my employer. Apart from these sent copy of LCA and Offer Letter. I believe they are pretty standard for all drop box applications. I have had my last two H1B stampings done in Vancouver Consulate (in person at that time) since I became a PR while ago.Ĭlick to expand.These were the instructions I was given. If I had sent the PR card copy in first place it might have been faster but mehh that ended up adding couple more weeks. Status updated to "Issued" and received Shipment notification Received acknowledgement email from consular office that documents have been received and will be sent to officer for further processing. Anyways sent them copy of PR Card and AOR of New PR card renewal that applied. I was in an assumption that since my card expired though Landing document would just be Ok. I actually submitted my application with landing document since my PR card has expired few months ago and original instructions didn't really ask for PR card in specific rather it mentioned "Proof of legal status in Canada". Received email from consular officer that they would need a copy of PR card and instructed me to email the document front/back. Case status updated to "Refused" with bunch of text mentioning it might need additional processing and so on.

CEAC case status changed to "Application Received"

Dropped off passport and other documents at nearest Canada Post asper instructions.

I am a Canadian PR and since my role is now being moved back to US I ended up applying for H1B via dropbox (This seems to be an option for Canadian PR holders with any prior visa issued in any class after 2008).

Just a little bit of background I have been on H1B for over 6 years and had to move to Canada sometime ago as my role got transferred. Thought it might be helpful for someone who might be in similar situation and posting my timeline and recent experience with H1B dropbox at Vancouver consulate.
