Still waiting for my Visa

[Trish30 0]

My Interview was on 12th November (Montreal)it went fine, but they did ask for 1 document to be faxed and said "all the best"

you will receive your passport and visa in a weeks time after you fax us the docs. My hubby faxed the document on 13th November,

and its been more than a week now and still no sign of my xpresspost which I have been tracking from day 4 of my interview.

I emailed them and received automated message but not reply to my message

Anyone been in the same situation ??? if so please let me know what I should do .

Is it possible for me to go to the consulate in person and inquire abt my visa status ?

Please help I feel so helpless :crying:

American holiday! embassy is closed for canadian and american holidays.

Other then that have you tried emailing them or calling them?

Sometimes it takes a few weeks after they get the papers they needed for them to process the visa and send it out, not to mention canada post is hell to deal with ...

While I don't believe you can appear in person to inquire, there's no harm in emailing again. Be sure to list your case number in the Subject line, and keep your email short and to the point. Calling could possibly render you an answer too, though I don't know how much the consulate shares info with NVC after the interview stage.

As Inky said, though, it can take a couple of weeks for them to even process the information you fax them, and then time after that to render a decision, then deal with the Post. Montreal is extremely backlogged right now, and it takes awhile to do anything.

But certainly, inquire politely on the status of your case, include your case number, and hopefully you'll hear word soon.

Good luck.

I would not worry too much. When I was waiting for a response I emailed many times and never got a response. Then one day I got a letter in the mail saying I was denied. I'm sure you'll be fine with what you sent in but don't be too concerned if you dont hear anything. It took them 4 weeks to get my letter back.

Ur options:

1) get the USA citizen to contact their congress person and have them inquire for you. Should be a real easy thing for them to do. And they like easy!!

2) email Mtl daily with ur case # in the subject line!! maybe send it from a different email, ie hotmail, as maybe its getting caught up in the server

Thanks for your reply. Can I be denied after getting approved ? my husband faxed the documents and also courriered the same... waiting again.

Is there anything in your application that would lead you to believe that you could be denied? You never mentioned what additional document you had to send to them. They are backed up with cases and they are busy. As some people have mentioned, some have waited at least 4 weeks to get their visa returned.

So the answer to your question is yes, of course, they can deny you after the interview - but if it's not likely in your case, I would not worry about that. I would take Flames advice and contact the congressperson of the U.S. citizen or try sending your email from another address.

Thanks for your reply, after my interview which went just fine they said i would receive my visa in a weeks times and its more than 3 weeks thats why I am worried. Well the additional document asked was my Hubbys previous divorce papers which he faxed to them the very next day of my interview.

My hubby will try to get in touch with the congress person ASAP

Thanks for replying

Did your Husband get in touch with his congressperson yet Missmystery? If so, you should be getting some sort of response soon.

My Hubby is from Atlanta (GA) currently in California, he can only fly back to atlanta next week.

Hope to get some feedback then.

I can't offer too much, but I wanted to say that Atlanta is waiting for you! It's a good place to live - we like it at least!
