Today my fiancée received this email. We have had a really long and tough journey and I am not sure how to know what the results will be like. We had gone for an interview where we were returned the passport and asked for additional documents, birth certificate, police records. We submitted them around April 10 and we got this email May 9. I feel it is so soon for them to send the passport back already. What should I make of this. Please give me your input! We had interviewed at Vancouver, do they usually reply back this quickly? I am so scared and sad =/

How is this too quick? A month? To review items they should have had on hand? Or?? Seems fine to me. Don't worry until you know it's actually a denial.

The website where you booked your interview, log in and see what it says...it should say "visa issued" or something along those lines. I'm guessing your visa is in your passport waiting for you to pick up, but you won't know until you pick it up!

So the passport was returned with a letter indicating we need to submit RCMP certified police certificate, which we have done 2 times already =/ Also stated Administrative Processing. How long does Vancouver Consulate cases take for the administrative processing? Does having a case in Vancouver help speed things up or it is generally all places the administrative processing varies. Any one have gone thru this consulate give me ideas. We have been very patient but I am so ready to burst into tears!! help!!

Since my fiancée's passport was returned does that mean when they are ready they will ask for it back? what should we do about that?

AP will vary and when they want his passport for the visa they will let you know. Make sure any and all names he has ever used is on the police check and to be on the safe side maybe get the fingerprints done?
