K1 administrative review

[usmcwife 3]

Hi everyone.

I'm wondering if anyone else was denied at their interview because of missing documents. I was missing a police certificate and sent it in on April 20th. I keep calling DOS, but so far there have been no changes to my case. Is anyone in a similar situation or have recently received their visa and can tell me how long it took them. I'm getting so frustrated. The consular officer said it would take 2-4 weeks after they received it but he didn't really say if 'receiving' it meant getting it from canada post or from when they actually open it. We are hoping to get married on the July 2nd. I wonder if we will be able to.

sorry, it's the actual 'review by a ConOff' date, which is rarely within the first week of receiving it.

Montreal is massively backlogged, perhaps a Canadien filer can tell you exactly how deep the backlog is?

I've noticed that there have been a lot of DCF filers in Canada that have had to send in additional documentation. I suggest going into the "Direct Consular Filing (DCF) General Discussion" and going through the first 5-10 pages to find some Canadian threads. Sorry I can't be more help. Good luck to you!

I recently read somewhere that Montreal was backlogged on mail ( what arent they back logged on?). I think they were processing snail mail from like 4-6 prior.

well that's not too bad... that means i'm hopefully only 1 - 3 weeks away.

I can't understand why montreal is always so backlogged. I wonder if it's a staffing issue or something. You'd hope that with backlogs going on for this long that something would have been done about it by now.

last i read it was a 7 week wait for an approval after sending in additional documents..read around the forums..lots of discussion on it.
