Hoping for some input from those with experience in similar circumstances, or even just some general encouragement because I am falling apart over this right now. My husband mailed his divorce decree to me for me to take to my CR1 interview in Montreal, which is on18th. It never arrived, so we got another copy and paid for expedited air shipping and was guaranteed it would be here by today. I received a notification today that due to a "sorting error," it was sent to the wrong facility and has been delayed. I'm wondering if anyone else has experience of what to expect if I do not have the original divorce decree with me? I am so devastated that this happened when we have been working so hard to have everything ready for my interview. I know that it will likely create delays, but would love to get other's experiences of what happens when a document is missing so I know what to expect as my anxiety is in overdrive. I tried searching but found that many of the results were quite old. 

Thanks for reading!

I think the likely scenario is that they just delay issuing the visa a short time until the original document is sent to them.  It is very common. I wouldn't over-stress.  I don't see a long delay.
