Same!

Canada post tracking confirmed it was delivered within a day (Aug 19) but the consulate emailed me about a week later to confirm they had it because I asked them another question 2 weeks prior. However, I did notice a case update on the day they confirmed receipt and on day they received medical (on a Saturday I had an update which surprised me). Not sure if update is bc they emailed me or if they logged it. Also, not the same for everyone. 
 

I also received an update on a Saturday when my medical was submitted on that Saturday around 4 am which I find odd but no updates for passport or anything else 

Ugh this seems like it never ends

i hope we all get some visa soon I also submitted everything last week no updates yet except the day the medical was submitted the last update date changed.. hoping I get my passport back in time for my trip to Mexico smh

We’re in the same boat. At the end of the week they’ll have had my husband’s passport for 4 weeks. 
We’ve already given notice on our rental and started making tentative plans for travel in November. 
But same thing, so heartbreaking and discouraging to keep on waiting. 
Let us know if consulate replies. Ugh this seems like it never ends

How long ago since the Consulate received your passport, etc?

 

Depending on what day next month the trip is booked for, it’s possible you may not have it in hand in time.  Seems the Consulate has slowed down considerably with processing.  I know of at least three cases just recently cleared from AP who have been waiting 3 weeks.

 

In our case, on Sept 4 the medical was received, with the passport/RCMP/pics which we sent received by the Consulate on Sept 9.  Our status remains refused with a Sept 4 date

Passport was received earlier this week and medical should be today 

trip is on the 17th next month hoping I get it back in time 

Hi everyone I received an email to submit documents which I did was wondering how long it usually takes to get passport back I have a trip to Mexico next month not sure if I will get it back in time smh 

Hey everyone has anyone changed their last name during this process? Like after green card or during interview or when submitting documents? 
when would be easier to change it 

Ty!

Now a days case is cleared in one unsolicited update from State Dept. Some folks are getting passport request next day after first unsolicited update. Rest of the updates if any are related to consulate internal review of the case. Our case was cleared in the third week of June as per annotation on visa but we received passport request email in the first week of July after 4 more unsolicited updates. 

I see! hopefully it’s progress for our case 

Hi everyone! I had my interview in Jan 2024 was issued ds5535 still waiting for my good news however I noticed my case getting updated more often 

usually every month the senator would request update on our behalf and it will update but this month I have 3 updates so far aug1,yesterday and one more today was wondering if this means anything also if I open my ds260 to view it would that case last update date to change?!
