Thank you everyone!!!!!!

Oh damn!!! i am so sorry to hear this.. . This is ridiculous. i know the process sucks… but its a formality. I am sorry. it will work out though

I am so done with this process. I have to go back to London tomorrow to sign the ds230 because the computers were messed up Monday and they haven't got my fingerprints. Another £80 on rail fare and a work day lost....

Hi Guys,

Please i need people with experience on this particular problem to advise me.

i got case complete over a month ago and few weeks ago got my interview date for Dec 19th.

Am originally from nigeria but i live in vietnam!my problem is two months ago my passport

expired and didn't get my new passport on time to renew my visa,by the time i got my new passport

my visa and old passport has expired which makes me an illegal immigrant here.However,it wasn't stated

as part of the document needed from me for my interview.

My question is,will my illegal status here affect me from getting my spousal visa??

It may if they ask to see your Vietnam passport. Which passport have you used in your documentation?

You need to be legally resident in the country you are interviewing in. The only exception to that is if your home country does not have a US embassy. Which doesn't apply for you.

The Montreal Consulate replied to one of my 4-6 emails marked as "EXTREMELY URGENT!!!".

This is what they wrote (I'm copying and pasting below):

Good day,

Thank you for your email.

We can confirm that your issued visa has left our office yesterday. We are currently experiencing technical problems andunfortunately, we cannot provide you with a waybill number at this time.

If you have any questions regarding the courier service, you may visit The Department of State has temporarily disabled hyperlinks> or contact CSC by email at contactus_en_CA@usvisa-info.com

NO WAYBILL NUMBER!!??

I called Loomis and THEY DIDN"T FIND ANYTHING under the Reference ID on the usvisa-info.com site.

I have no idea where my passport is! I can't believe how they're handling this!

[AustinCanada 681]

Approved

That's weird, because I literally just left and mine already shows Administrative Processing o.o

Congrats! AP!? I hope it's not a scary AP!

Hey guys I had my interview today at Islamabad ..they investigated me for 3 hours ...at the end they just kept my passport ...but they didnt give me any bluse green or yellow sheet? Pls if anybody knos then tell me if uts good or bad?

There is only one reason why they kept your passport! Congrats!

folks! YES VISA APPROVED!!!

I HAD THE NICEST CO EVER!!!! she was so chill and i didnt feel i was in an interview it felt more like a friendly chat!!

Congrats! Nice to hear good news!

Case complete as of Nov 17. Hoping for an early January interview. My priority date is April 30, 2013....

April 30, 2013!? You'll probably get an early interview!

I am so done with this process. I have to go back to London tomorrow to sign the ds230 because the computers were messed up Monday and they haven't got my fingerprints. Another £80 on rail fare and a work day lost....

You and I are unlucky ones! But, we're fun though!

Approved!!! Yay!!!!!

Congrats! Did you see my passport on the CO's desk?

Visa is showing issued (printed) today!

1. Thank you for all of the kind words.

2. Congratulations to all...too many to congratulate individually. I truly am happy to see many of us who have been riding the same pine for the same amount of time, actually get approved right around the same date.

3. For those still waiting, be as patient as possible. Your time is coming and soon you will be with the one you love.

Thanks again!

Congrats! I think most Oct filers are done with this long process!

[TeaCup 65]

@Cathy, That is absolute bullshit, so ridiculous.

Sorry I've been quiet guys, I'm been working absolutely crazy hours the past few days and will be for an unknown amount of time! I'm still here, just lurking more! lol Hope everyone is well.

I called Loomis and emailed the Montreal Consulate this afternoon.

I told them that there is a good chance that I might end up going to an emergency room due to a panic attack!

Oh my, not the stress you need! That is crazy, how can they have no waybill number for something so important?! Let's hope it turns up very soon!

What date are you planning to leave for Seattle? Hope it gets to you in time.

Well, we're more than ready to move to Seattle.

Since we have sold our house and car, we've been living in a hotel waiting for my passport.

We were planning to move to Seattle last Sat since I thought I was getting my passport back last Friday.

Now, I hope to move there by this Friday if possible.

Of course, that depends on when/if I get my passport back.

Montreal Consulate totally sucks!

So incredibly frustrating when you are throwing money down the drain paying for a hotel. I guess the only upside is you haven't had to rebook flights or anything, but still! Not cool Montreal, not cool.

I have a feeling your passport is going to arrive in the next 48 hours and you will be crossing the border into WA state on Friday. Yay!!!!!!!!!

I really hope I don't end up staying in a hotel for a month waiting for my passport.

A friend of mine got his passport back from Montreal, but there was a mistake!

He had to send his passport back to the Montreal Consulate and it caused a 4-week delay!

I thought the Montreal Consulate was different (more efficient and reliable) from NVC.

Nope, there are no good guys in the immigration process!
