Hello, I appreciate the response! To answer the question, e-mailing did help at first I think. It was like... I sent them the docs they wanted following the interview, waited the prerequisite period of 90 days before sending an inquiry, and sent the first e-mail in July. Nothing. I did it again in a week. Nothing. I did it AGAIN and got a generic response a week after that to the same day; "We can't determine processing time." So I waited ANOTHER two weeks then. Response was similar, can't determine. Sent another update request again. Got a similar response in a week and eventually responses slowed to two weeks. Repeated this process over and over until October rolled around. It was at the end of October that the agent gave me the choice. I did it, and here we are. I have recently started sending e-mails again to try and get something, but now it's dead silence. CEAC still says refused and AIS still says "Send Documents." One thought that comes to mind is that maybe the Canada Post Strike delayed the process further alongside the holiday season, but we're sitting cozy in January. Everyone from my workplace is wondering what the heck happened and/or how this process is being "bad" (they used MUCH more colorful language). I'm just playing online games with the fiancee and American friends in the meanwhile I guess. lol

Hi. Former lurker, first time poster. Had my interview last year, May 10, got the dreaded form along with a request for a new criminal record check, filled it out and after waiting for two months started inquiring every two weeks. Back in October 2024, the consulate actually called me and said they're ready to finalize my visa, but that my former medical exam expired in four days and said they could do it, but that it may be best to redo the medical. So I did, getting it done at the end of November. Now it's radio silence. Supposing they were on holidays, but my patience is wearing. My fiancee started this whole process back in 2023. I miss her. Painfully. So I guess I'm adding my name and post here to mostly vent. @_@
