When my case went into administrative processing, I started emailing a couple of times a day for a while - I got a reply after sending 8 emails. It bugs them and eventually they reply.

I was especially annoying because I asked the name of the lady who interviewed me so I would put all my email subject lines to her attention. Got a reply real quick!

I hate to be annoying like that, but when you want answers, you want answers!

Hi Everyone,

So I see there is a range of how long it takes to get your visa approved after sending in the additional documents. We sent in ours March 30th (proof of domicile), and I just received a letter from US DOS dated April 21st that they received the documents and my husband's application is currently pending and a decision will not be made until the Consulate finishes reviewing. I know Intuitionsys received this letter and 4 days later had their visa. Intuitionsys, did you call DOS in those 4 days and if so, what did they say the status was of your case? We already got our Senator involved back in mid-Feb after we sent in our first of of documents and Montreal had requested even more information.I also called them last week to inquire again. Thanks for your help.

We got a letter from DOS about a week (or was it two?) after my wife received her visa, basically stating that the documents had indeed been received and that they were currently being reviewed. Obviously a huge lag. We never did receive the "approval" letter or e-mail but we didn't have any difficulties when we crossed the border. One issue we still have though is she is still waiting for both her SSN and Green Card. It's been about five weeks since we crossed. We're going to go to our local SSA office next week and make sure everything is at least in process, unless of course they show up before then.

Thanks for the reply Intuitionsys! Well my husband definitely hasn't received his visa yet and I just got the letter via email yday. When we do call DOS they state that his file is still under review. As we all know, its impossible to get a hold of anyone at the Montreal Consulate so I guess its back to the waiting game for us. Hope your wife gets her Greencard and SSN soon!

We went to the SSA office last week and big surprise my wife wasn't "in the system". We were told it could be another four weeks as they had to mail something to USCIS to confirm her information. She hasn't received her greencard or welcome letter or any notice whatsoever yet and it's been about six weeks now. I'll be calling USCIS sometime this week to find out what is taking so long. She should have at least received her welcome letter by now.
