申请美国B1/B2签证过程分享

[buluotuoa]

2023年3月首次申请美国B1/B2签证，在线提交，之后收到邮件确认面试的时间是2024年11月，地点卡尔加里。
2023年10月收到邮件，称面试时间可以提前到2024年1月底2月初，选了2月2日周五。在面试前几天再收到邮件，要求照片必须是半年内带时间盖章的，只好重新照了一次。
2月2日10点10分左右到达领事馆（面试时间是10:45）。幸亏提前到达，接下来的检查证件/表格/安检加排队等面试大概花了半小时左右。安检非常严格，老婆带了一个巴掌大的小包，里面的微型指甲刀、眉毛钳、几只小指粗的化妆品事先忘了拿出来，结果全被当垃圾扔掉了。手机要求关机，和钱包、手表、遥控车钥匙一起存放。在安检的时候还按了指纹。在一楼通完成检查证件和申请表、安检之后就排队跟着保安乘电梯到9楼正式办公的地方。办公大厅和外面的等待室都很小，分批进入大厅。进入大厅之后，先到一个窗口再次核验证件和申请表格，只问了去没去过美国。然后又转到下一个窗口，也就是面试窗口，站在窗外隔着玻璃和签证官交谈，面试结束后提交了护照。记得问了这么几个问题：1，去没去过美国，2，在加拿大多少年了，3，住在什么地方，4，什么工作，5，大学学了什么专业，6，夫妻关系，7，想去美国什么地方，8，小孩是加籍吗。签证官是个很年轻的小伙子，态度很好，整个过程一直面带笑容，准备好的各种证明材料一点都没看，最后直接告诉我们approved了，等护照寄到家。全部面试过程可能不到10分钟。
2月5日周一查状态，变成了“Issued”.
2月6日收到快递送来的护照，done!

感谢楼主的经验，我来提供一个最新的dp。双护照在多伦多申请B1/B2续签。原先的美签也是B1/B2, 还有一年有效期。申请的时候如实提交了加拿大护照作为在加拿大合法身份证明。金融行业工作，数学专业master。没有被要求面签。
1月29号 签收
1月30号 approved
2月1号 issued
2月3号护照寄出

美签上没有注明Canadian PR， 也没有注明Canadian Citizen

3月份提交了DS-160表格，到现在也没动静。本人红本，2013年获得十年美签，2024年刚刚过期，但未超过6个月。请教下一步如何操作？不是应该付款，等着邮寄护照的通知吗？但是现在没有任何信息。
