Hello everyone. Just wanted to share some info. Maybe it will be somebodies choice in the future.  So, i have submitted my passport On August 13th, 2024 and still nothing. Therefore i decided to get another canadian passport to be able to travel.  Got my spare passport a few days ago. You can get it as soon as next day.  You need a prove of travel (i.e. airline booking), prove that your passport is at US Embassy (printed an email from embassy stating that I have to send passport and also carrier-in receipt from post office). Paid $170 CAD for 1 week processing. Was told at Passport Canada that after I will get my passport back from the embassy, I must give up my spare passport and show them the old passport for reactivation. Thats it.

This information is so helpful. My husband didn't this

Honestly I don't know. I mean they have my passport since July 15th but they requested your passport. So maybe I am ahead of you. Try applying for a second passport if you don't hear from them in a week. My suggestion 

Which visa category are you in? Is it EB-1?

Do you mean EB1C? EB1A is not for multi national managers and executives. Is your country of birth Canada? Mine is India.

No, nothing yet. Any update on your case? Did they confirm that they have your passport?

My senator in CA has offices all over the state besides their DC office. The office that handles immigration concerns is in San Diego, but they aren’t getting back to me so that’s why I reached out to the DC office to get someone else and figure out what’s going on. 

Hi 

 

Any update on your file?

No. CEAC is unchanged, last update on case Aug 22. Never heard from Senator, called their DC office again and left a note. It’s just crushing. How about you?

I actually got a case update yesterday on CEAC. Didn’t receive an email yesterday or so far today- I was wondering if a generic response was on the way, but not yet.

What case update did you get on CEAC? Did the status change or the last updated date change?

Did you email them or contact them meaning was it solicited?
