Waiting for our passports from Montreal

[duvalin 3]

I think* date creation changes only for fiancé K-1 visas akazmi. For IR-1/CR-1 visas stays the same during the whole process. But this is only what I've gather from reading the forum.

Thanks duvalin did you hear anything about your visa.

[duvalin 3]

Nothing yet, unfortunately. Like I said, just the date change on last Friday. But, I am really hoping this week I hear something. We all are in this together, so let me know when you get yours for sure!

Good morning,

Thank you for your email!

Please note that your file is with the consular officer for review. As soon as we have an update on your file we will gladly advise you.

Best regards,

I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait.

Hey, so I just read in a different forum someone said that CEAC updates on Tuesdays and Fridays, at 3pm ET... Could that be true??

Also, I found a website where they explain the meaning of each message on CEAC:

Probably not true about CEAC update on Tues/Fri. A lot of people have had updates other weekdays including myself.

Yes to this. There was no pattern to my status being updated and my visa was issued on a Saturday, or at least that's when I was notified.

I hope it's a good sign for you but it would be pretty ridiculous if you get issued before all of us still waiting from the middle of June...

You did say you emailed them though, every time we have emailed them our date has updated. In fact it's the only time our date has changed...

I emailed them yesterday the date change to July 20, 2015 but i didn't email them today and date change automatically. So i hope i will hear the good news later this week.

Hey everyone, sorry to butt in here! I'm trying to estimate rough time frames right now (to budget some expenses) and I'm stuck on the wait time between the approval at the interview and actually receiving the passports back from MTL. I'm seeing that many of you are waiting a lot longer than what you were told at the consulate. I had anticipated approximately 2 weeks, but given the glitch that happened last month I was trying to figure out a new, more realistic time frame. I was just wondering if there is any difference between the K-1and the IR-1/CR-1 turn around time or if I can base my predictions off of most peoples' unexpected delays that appear to be happening in this thread (i.e. several weeks)?

Anyone know any info on this? Or any K-1 filer who has had their interview in June/July already had their passports mailed out? I know AP can differ for everyone, I am just basing times off of a standard interview with an approval. Thanks in advance! (P.S. I am a K-1 filer).

P.P.S. I hope all of you awaiting your passports receive them really soon!

I'd say give it a month on the safe side..but it might change since you are going to have your interview in September.

Is there anyone else from June, for the CR1, who was approved but still not issued? We are pretty discouraged at this point since we had a clean interview and approval. Our dates have only updated when I've emailed and gotten the same canned response back. There is some solace knowing a couple people were just issued last Saturday after a long wait as well but I was just wondering who else was left on here. We were told 2.5-3 weeks and we would have our visa in hand. It's one month to the day today (over 4 calendar weeks) and we aren't even issued yet. I thought about emailing again, but that doesn't seem to help in any way lol...
