WAITING and waiting

[Udella&Wiz 325]

May I ask how long your wait was? I'm on my 11th week, got response from Montreal like 5 weeks ago about the mail backlog. Trying to sort of draw a diag of all these time-lines. Maybe if Montreal didn't ask for so many silly documents, questions or proofs, maybe there just wouldn't be a backlog which they sure hate nor would the US gov need to hire people.

Cheers!

You're asking about people who are doing a different VISA then you - FYI. Best to look at timelines here that are K1 and filing at montreal

Can you tell us when you sent the documents and such?

I thought i did:

"we sent my wife's passport with proof of my domicile in the US on april 24th, they received it on the 26th (according to the tracking number)...

so all in all, almost eight weeks... it was "issued" exactly seven weeks after they recieved it."

the only other update I have after that is that the canada post tracking number has been updated finally and shows that the mailer has been received at the post office... i dont know if that means it will be actually mailed today, or tomorrow, but it is ON THE WAY!

Did anyone who was approved this week get anything in the mail yet? I keep tracking the number but canada post keeps saying nothing found. I'm hoping it's just not been updated and is still on it's way. Today we booked everything for our wedding except for the flights. Two weeks tomorrow!!! I hope everyone who hasn't gotten news yet gets approved soon. Only people who have been in our position can know how stressfull it is.

WOW Congratulations... so good chances i'll get it tomorrow. I called the DOS today and tehy said it had been issued. i just wanted to confirm the email my fiance had gotten from his congressperson. It's good to know that Canada post can do something that quickly! Good luck to everyone else waiting too! At least we're out from in front of those still waiting!

Just to update in case anybody is following and because i'm so frustrated. I still didn't see anything in Canada post today so I called the DOS again just to confirm what I'd heard yesterday. This time the person, who was frustrated with me, said that the visa had been approved for issue but hadn't been stamped in teh passport yet! Talk about getting a different answer every time! I know i'm venting and i'm very very happy that their working on my case. I know there are plenty of other people waiting to hear anything. I was just really hoping to get it today. 2 weeks until my wedding and it would be nice to get there sooner rather than later!

Thanks for listening.

my wife received hers today. sent yesterday, received today. i almost don't believe it. i almost feel like we'll open it up, it will be completely empty except for a note that reads:

Fooled you! We haven't even looked at your stuff yet! - MTL Consulate

but seriously, hang in there everyone else who is still waiting.
