The CO said my case needs to be in AP for about three months. he gave me no reason for this and they kept some of original documents

Hi!

Really sorry about your AP, There's nothing you can do about it. my husband's case is in Montreal, has been in AP for 70 days after the CO said at time of interview that everything was fine and just wait 2 to 3 weeks, unfortunately AP is black hole. just sit and wait. Hope you get an answer soon!

My case is in AP too because I didn't have CENOMAR. I was advised to go to NSO to request one. How long does this case normally take?

My mom was place on AP because her name was misspelled wrong on my birth and they advice same thing to go NSO. Ours only took two weeks then soon as they receive it her visa was issued three days after! It's case to case basis.

Quite normal

If they said three months, hopefully they stick to that time frame. I believe they prefer to say that AP can last as long as it needs to. I don't suppose they kept your passport, huh?



Signature coming soon...

No, but they kept some of the original documents

Hopefully that's a good sign. Maybe that's how long the Security Advisory Opinion (SAO) takes to complete?

So thankful, never thought it would be this fast. My status already changed from AP to issued and the message said that I will get it within 7-10 business days :)

Thank u vj for listening to my previous sentiments :)
