Thanks for spearing an info here. It has been a bit over 8 weeks since they have my passport. Wrote an e-mail to them, asking if they have received my passport and what's the status of it. Got the reply 10 days later On October 10th, that all documents received, pending review by an officer. So, waiting. It looks like you(FaithinChrist) are ahead of me in a line up. Please let me know once you get your passport/visa back. Thanks in advance.

Hello, everyone. Had my interview in US embassy in Montreal On Feb 28th, 2024 and was told to submit DS-5535. They returned my passport back with the 221g letter. It took me about a month to get all the information DS-5535 required. So, On April 15th I have sent the form to US embassy in Montreal. After 4 months, I have received another email from the embassy, saying that I have to submit my passport. On August 14th I have sent my passport to them. Than, there was a status update, On August 22nd. I assume they have received the passport and added it to my case On August 22nd. Today is September 10th, it has been almost one month since I have sent my passport, and 3 weeks from the last status update. Does anybody know how long does it usually take to receive you passport back? Maybe somebody was in the same situation? P.S. I have applied for EB3 immigrant visa. Also, if I won't get the passport back for 6 weeks, I am planning to send an email to embassy....just not sure what to ask for? Since the status is stated online. Don't want to be annoying, since probably many people email them. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
