Depending where you are staying it may be easier to walk or take transit. I didn't have any trouble walking around, the Consulate was 15 min from my hotel and it took maybe 20 min to walk to Old Montreal area.

I have my visa in hand...it only took 5 working days!!! Good luck tomorrow!

Hi there,

At our visa interview today in Naples, Italy they asked my fiance a few questions and then told him he needed another police certificate from Albania even though he brought the one stipulated in the instructions. So now our application is in AP and the interviewer said it would be 3-4 weeks for them to process the paperwork in the US after he turns in the documentation. I've been reading this forum and I see post after post of people waiting for months in AP status. Does anyone have any encouraging stories of short processing times? I just really need to know if everyone has a similar experience. I know that patience is a virtue, but I need to go visit him if it is going to be more than a month more. I'm so disheartened.

Thanks,

Amber

I'm in AP too. Most people waiting in AP months and months, and sometimes even years, are in for background checks. Yours should go very quickly if they just need a document. Plus you have the benefit of knowing exactly why you're in AP. Unfortunately, the timing is never guaranteed but at least you have a guideline.

Today makes four weeks in AP for us with no communication and no reason for why we're in AP given and no estimate on how much time it would take. :(

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure you guys get a good grip on the AOS forums when it's time (you can get there from my signature). Congrats congrats congrats!

I'm so sorry you two :( that must be so so hard. I know how I felt when I thought we were in it. It can leave you feeling so defeated, but it also got us in gear to have a back up plan. There's always hope. Speedy AP to you. xo

Since my interview on Tuesday I have been religiously checking tracking number on my passport/visa return parcel from US Consulate, so far nothing and I had almost given up hope in making it to USA by Sunday to go to an event I had been bought tickets for months ago, just got a txt from Mum saying she picked up my parcel from the post office! (Guess they never activated tracking number)

Soooo now I have alot of packing to do, flying out either tomorrow or day after... not sure yet, probably Saturday i'll fly out. Thanks everyone for the help! Now for next step, AOS haha
