Thank you! - The issue here is that they've had my passport now since it was requsted in August. They then requested medical and photos in early Oct. If were looking at since the passport was delivered its been 2+ months and currently at 1 month after medical and photos were received. We were hoping to be reunited for thanksgiving, but doesnt look like thats going to happen.🤕 After submitting all documents we had the following updates: 1. Oct 30 (unsolicited) 2. Nov 6 (unsolicited) 3. Nov 14 (solicited, reply to an email sent Oct 30 confirming if all documents were received)

Congratulations! I am at a loss for words at this point with how inconsistent the consulate is. Next week will be waiting for week 5 after all documents have been submitted.

You would think that visa officers want to clear these backlogs and get these passports off their desks, but it appears that they need a nudge at every stage. - Thank you for the insight. Will see what comes out of inquiring yet again. Keep us updated on when you receive your passport given the Canada Post strike.

I know of another person that has had their visa issued two weeks ago. (Nov 4 week) and since then its been radio silence. I really hate that there is no consistency to any of this. @221gM @candy895 @DuBrun20 @g_canadian @apsincejune23 @EveK I think we all had our documents sent in around the same time. Has anyone gotten their visa issued or any new case status updates?

There are specific scenarios where the consulate will reach out to the applicant and request if the applicant can pick up their passport by a certain date. This is mainly due to time restrictions on the medical/passport/police clearance. Ive seen on this forum happen more so when a medical is set to expire and the consulate is ready to issue the visa. - Go to sundims profile/review the forum for specifics. Applicants cannot request this and any attempt will be ignored by the consulate. Myself and others tried to set this up and were ignored.

I am so sorry this is happening. its beyond frustrating how they keep dropping the ball on these things. 👺 Has it been more than or close to a full year since your interview? Did you update or upload anything new to your NVC/DS260?

It will take a least 1 week for the blood results to come back and then a few days for them to review and put everything together to send. Give it 7 BD. Its good to note that your case status will update once they submit it and they will email you confirmation of it being uploaded. Based on this. you'll likely have your medical uploaded sometime next week by the panel physican. Also ... welcome to waiting game... 😒

From my exp its been on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However it does vary.

Looks like you cleared your AP fairly quickly. Your Interview was Sep 16 and 1.5 months later they requested your passport. I think thats probably the fastest I have seen. Some of us have been waiting 8+ months while others waiting for over a year after their interview. It’s frustrating when there’s no progress, especially when you know everything’s already been delivered and now entering the 1 month mark since all documents were submitted. At this rate— you could be approved in a week, five weeks or even longer. Fingers crossed it doesn’t drag on!

It’s honestly so frustrating how disorganized this consulate is. You’d think something as important as immigration would have a smoother process, but instead, they’re asking for the same information they’ve already requested. How does that even happen? In our case they requested documents two months apart. 🙄 It makes you wonder if the emails and case files are even being reviewed properly or if there’s just no internal communication on their end. It’s exhausting to sit around waiting for a decision while dealing with mistakes that could’ve easily been avoided. I hope they clear you soon!

Medical was received by consulate on 22OCT and passport photos on OCT 17. It is now the end of the 3rd week since they've had everything. Lets see what next week brings.

To add to this. Our last update was Nov 6, and another one today Nov 14. Today's case update was a solicited one for an email we sent out 2 weeks ago on Oct 30 asking for an update on whether documents were received (medical/passport photos). Of course, they reply with their template response. 😠 - "We acknowledge receipt of documents, Case is pending consular review." ... SMH how much review does it need to stamp an IV on the passport. 😒🤬

Please review instructions on the first page/sheet on how to update the filtering. Superliminal likely updated it to that view before going AFK. Hope this helps! Well keep in mind that in your case, you would have had to wait for a new medical and passport photos and then send them to the consulate, and that in itself is a whole process by which the consulate then need to then get it from their courier facility and then review which would align with the inconsistent timelines we're seeing now. Some got their IV within 1 week, others in 2-3 weeks, some are 5+ weeks. I think those who have submitted their documents sept/oct should be hearing back fairly shortly. I do recall that one of the people (CarmenD) on here waited around 6-7 weeks after submitting everything. Stay positive yall, its coming!!
