Waiting for our passports from Montreal

[JennNMike 6]

I have read a few members on here have been told to bring documents in the same/next day, and when they do, the printer is magically broken. Makes you wonder!

I don't believe by registering at ais-visa would trigger the Status update. I did it last night, all it did confirming that you successfully registered your pick-up location when the passport is returned. What I believe is, Consulate physically had your passport in possession and triggered on Dec 11

Read our comments from page 108 and you would get the idea, how frustrating we are...

Ugh yeah, at least its ALMOST over!! That makes sense though about them registering it on the 11th.

A passport for me was the only issue as well too... and I'm still waiting:(

BUT your circumstances are a bit different. You were able to get the passport within two days, mine took a week to have in my hands and another two to be delivered and received by the consulate.

So you could very well have your visa soon.

I wouldn't worry too much about your status update... mine is in AP but my daughters still says READY to schedule interview, so no worries... yours is fine by the way, does it say ready immigrant or ready non-immigrant?

Yeah i got it in 24 hours because the guy who interviewed me said id have to go home and get it and then mail it back and i was like oh no i cant wait that long and asked if it would be okay for me to try and get it and bring it back before my flight to Vancouver, so he booked me another appointment on the 9th. He looked at me a little crazy when i suggested this but it worked!

It says:

U.S. Department of State

IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION

Ready

Really! yeah thats odd.. he just said they weren't able to print it right now.. I should have asked what that meant exactly.

oh okay. sometimes when it switches to non-immigrant ready, people say they are issued very quickly after. others don't go through that step.

so you physically handed the CO your passport on the 9th? I think the 11th update was them looking into your case then. my status update date never changed when i registered for canada post or the website.

keep us updated this week if you receive any news!

ooo yeah ill be checking CEAC 10x a day LOL. & yes i handed him my new passport on the 9th, so that makes sense. As long as i dont need to reschedule my flight on the 27th ill be happy, my birthday is on the 28th so I wanted to spend it with my husband.

I will definitely give any updates I have

Still no change on my end still on AP, but we are not alone everyone who sent in additional documents have not been issued. So I'm thinking there might be a problem worldwide. We have 4 more days this week and 4 next week let's hope for a good outcome.

I checked ceac 4x times today, no change - I really don't understand, Nicole_1228 got her quick issued on spouse visa. I am sitting here just like her but with requested documents such as passport etc..

JennNMike, what did the email say? why is taking so long after you were told 2 weeks? Can we really bug them about it?

[Friend2ya 9]

By the way, has anyone email from the consulate inquiry/respond after receiving your additional documents that:

" We ask that applicants allow for 8 weeks of processing time from the day we receive the documents at post"

Did you fill out the requested additional documents thing on the other site? the AIS one?

Yes my dear, is that how he instructed you, would it make any difference?
