      107
    • 8-10 business days
      24
    • 11-14 business days
      18
    • More than 14 business days - they were just very slow.
      42

  2. 2. If your wait was longer than expected, what do you think caused the delay?

    • The US Consulate in Montreal caused the delay.
      77
    • DHL delivery caused the delay.
      8
    • All of the above.

I just emailed Montreal with an specific question and they answered in less than 10 min (Wow!! thats great!!) (I'm being very sarcastic) Because their reply was just the same automatic email they always send about administrative processing!!

uuugggggggg!!!!!! :ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting:

Frustration level: There's no instruments to measure it!!

Guys I'm so happy for everybody already out of this nightmare!...

That is not fair consulate's taking too long...I hope you just rang the bell on them.

Oh no....I am starting to worry...I had my medical on December 9th to get it out the way, Interview on January 27th but now in AP as the I134 was missing although I know we sent it in with the original package and I didn't have an original signed one at my interview.

I have a house to sell, moving to arrange, a job to quit....etc. etc. how do I get an extension if I need it as June the 9th is not looking reasonable at this moment....

Good grief...

Hi Jasbir:

Don't feel bad. it's obvious they have been working on your file. I know every day waiting looks like an eternity but hopefully they will answer you really soon!! :)

Hi friend!!
Sometimes I'm afraid that sending an email will delay more the case. My question to them triggered an update on CEAC website but doesn't mean they are working on the file. and it looks like they are not going to answer my question while the file is in AP even though is not related to that specific process.
well... 9 months waiting and counting....
Hope all is good with you and your family.

Hi Idy,

You are so gracious and supportive....so glad to have you here but hope you are also the first off...fingers crossed. I have taken to asking the Magic Eight Ball online to get a better picture of when something will happen :rofl: ​ Its the best I've got right now...and my dogs of course who already know I'm a bit crazy....

Hi chrisete!!

I'm just try to help a little... I will not resolve the situation but giving hope and writing here makes me feel good... and is cheaper than a therapy with a psychologist!! :rofl::rofl:

By the way, about your case, if the only thing needed is an original doc, they will have until 60 days to answer once they received it, that will put you in spring season and maybe this will help the Market so you will sell your house faster. About quitting your job.... I think that will be the easiest part and maybe a very satisfying moment in the process. lol!!

Oh! and I'm definitely looking for that Magic Eight Ball!! at this point I need every possible support!! LOL!!!! (L)(L)
