It’s definitely getting us worried. We’re together right now, but we are one of the unfortunate families in Canada that has their mortgage renewal due. We have to sell our house by October. Will doing this delay our process even more? He was cleared during interview, but forgot 2 docs which is why they said he can go right ahead and send passport with the docs.

Wow, lucky! I sent an email on July 12. We sent passport, court records, employment letter as part of 221g back in April. I sent an email to confirm they received docs. They confirmed back on June 11th. We’ve had zero updates since June 11, no response to my July 12th email. They’ve had passport for 15 weeks now- this can’t possibly be normal.

Congrats. We’re starting to think there’s a problem now. But who knows at this point.

We sent additional docs for 221g along with passport, as requested back on April 22. They’ve had the passport for 3 months. Last update was June 11 (solicited by our email). We’ve had no movement.

We sent passport April 23, last case update June 11 (solicited), and nothing since. We didn’t get DS- we received 221g- sent docs requested and passport. We’re getting pretty nervous that something is going to set us back again.

Hi Ontarkie, Thanks for the reply. He needed a court record, an updated letter from my employer, and they said to send his passport with that.

Hi EB, Thanks for the reply. I actually used Canada post first with tracking, and they denied it- I have no idea why. Correct address and all. I then used the courier the consulate recommended and it went through. They just never provided tracking for it.

Hello to all trying to patiently wait… I’ve been lurking here a bit and finally decided to sign up as I’m just so exhausted and discouraged. We began our journey for a K-1 visa with initial application being sent in Feb of 2022(!). Every step of this process has been a drag. It seemed like every time we received a document and it said “allow 6-8 weeks for processing” we’d go well beyond that. It got to the point where I’d email after those months passed, then magically we’d get our next packet. We finally received a ready for interview in July 2023(!) but no interviews were popping up. That dragged into October when a January interview FINALLY became available- booked it. Fiancé did medical a week before, did interview- he was barely asked any questions at all, said she didn’t even make eye contact with him. Unfortunately he was missing 2 basic documents- we are still kicking ourselves over it because it sounds like he would’ve received the visa on the spot. They gave him the 221g denial and asked for the 2 docs to be mailed with the passport. We were in the states, being snowbirds, so we waited until returning to mail it. We mailed everything April 23- didn’t receive a tracking number from courier. And we waited. CEAC date updated May 6- still denied. I finally emailed (May 21) asking for confirmation that docs were received. Received reply June 12 saying: “We acknowledge receipt of the documents you have provided. This case is currently pending review by a consular officer. As soon as the review is complete, the Visa Unit will advise of the next steps if anything else is needed to complete processing the case. We hope that this information is helpful in replying to your inquiry. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.” CEAC dates changes occurred again June 6 then 11, still denied. He’s a natural born Canadian, only traveled to US and DR for holidays. Career isn’t under any extra scrutiny. I’m just getting discouraged and am looking to see if anyone else has a similar timeline and offer some kind of glimmer of hope. Thank you for reading.
