Can some1 help please. I need to know for how long can the US consulate hold my passport for visa stamping, My Interview was around 1st week of November.

The DOS said it has not received any update from the consulate and can reply to my query only after they hear from them.

Also when I call the consulate all i get is the recorded message.

Which consulate?

I would recommend you make an appointment and go to the consulate and ask them for your passport, if you need it. Otherwise they will just keep it until they are ready to issue the visa.

But to answer your question - they will keep it as long as they want to (but you absolutely can request to have it returned)

Can you please tell me how to make appointment ? cause they dont answer phone calls, and dont reply to emails nor letters.

Also I need the passport with visa, not just my passport. What if they misplaced my passport and forgot about it ? god help me

US consulate in montreal

Montreal can be very very difficult to get hold of, as you have found.

So it's not that you need the passport, it's that you are wondering when you will get your visa.

I would recommend that your U.S. citizen spouse/fiancee call their congressman and ask them to look in to it for you.

Thanks for replying. You think congressman can help? do you know anyone or heard of congressman helping in this matter?
