Visa has been printed, but not mailed.

[Kimbear 53]

Kayla, my heart goes out to you, as you know.

Here's what I wonder though, the consulate in Montreal is sending you a VERY, VERY important document within an important document you would think that after an approved interview THEY would also write down the tracking number on your file just in case of b.s. like this. It's a very important document inside an already important document. I mean, yes, would should right it down as well but shouldn't part of the onus be on the consulate? How hard can it be for the to write down the tracking number right on our case files so if it gets lost, both sides can track it? NO? Is that asking too much?

anyway, as someone who wrote down the tracking number right at the interview and was in such a state, I could have written down anything, I think it should work both ways for such important materials.

Good luck, Kayla... keep us posted.

OH OH OH

this reminds me.

When i handed my envelope to them, i tore off the copy of the address label to keep a tracking number, and i got in trouble for it. WHY? The woman told me " we need that, its the only way we can track out packages in the mail room"

So they actually keep this or maybe attach it to your file. They HAVE to have a copy of the number somewhere, as they STAMP everything that they send out / in at the consulate!

That's strange kimbear because the guy who accepted my envelope tore it off and gave it to me and said that is for your records, if you want to track your package!

So no news today. The depot couldn't find it and doesn't remember having a package for Mathew.

Mathew went looking for his interview letter and couldn't find it, so I'm thinking that someone at the consulate kept it. Then again, it may be in our massive binder. Making a face to face inquiry would be amazing if it can be done. He DID make a scan copy of his interview letter to send to me so maybe that will work too???

We didn't tear that thing off of the envelope because we didn't know that it COULD be tore off. Mathew had originally bought the wrong sized mailer and had to go get a new one and when looking at the other mailed for where the tracking number should have been he found it. Hopefully they've recorded something about it. It is SUCH an important document, like lgg said, so I don't understand why they WOULDN'T want to have their own way to keep track of it.

The scanned copy should be good. He should go down there early in the morning. Did they give him anything at his interview to say he was approved? He should take that too if he has it. Maybe speaking to someone will help.

Hope you get some good news SOON Kayla!!!

Wow I read this thread a few days ago and you STILL haven't gotten it? This is gonna give me nightmares until I get mine Really hope you find out what happened soon!

He got his little paper that tells what happens next with his K-1 visa. Like a FAQ.

What time do you guys think he should go down there??? Like early early the way we did for his interview, or after the doors have already opened?

[coraliesolms 47]

If I was him I would go at around 7:30 or so. Show the guard the letter saying his visa got approved, but he still doesnt have it (almost a month later). They might let him in, they might not. I HOPE it works Kayla... oh I will be crossing my fingers all night for you!!!!

[Dan and Ali 3]

Wow ... I just saw this thread. I'm so sorry this is happening to you guys! I don't have any advice, just sending some good vibes your way ... you're both in my prayers!

Considering that Mathew lives so close to Montreal, and actually works and goes to school there it wont be any time wasted if they don't let him in. But it's worth a shot. Anything at this point is worth trying. I'll have him show up wearing a giant banana suit if that meant they'd let him through the doors, LOL.

Thanks Dan and Ali for the wishes.

You deserve some peace ,after this long journey.

Good wishes Kayla.

If he can't get in to see someone, you (the American spouse) can go with him and when you get to security just say that you are American and wish to apply for a new passport. You can bring someone with you (spouse!!) as long as they have their passport. So, the American services (such as passport) are on the same floor as where his interview was. Sooooo, just meander over to the 'immigration' half of the floor and have him inquire...i would just go to the same room where all of those kiosks are where they scan your fingerprints. I'm not sure when you are coming to Canada next, but if you are here for a visit and he hasn't recieved it yet or his visit was unsuccessful, I would go this route.

[brightskte 18]

We're not married yet and the only vacation time I have left is for our honeymoon. So whatever route he has to take at the consulate he'll have to do it on his own. I can't really afford to fly up there when we have to do AOS anyway. booh!

We got it today! It turned out that is has been in her apartment office since the 8th, they could not find it the first time she checked but after spending time calling the embassy this morning to get the mail date and tracking number and looking it up and then calling the ####### out of her apartment build and making them look for it, It was found and is in her hands now. She will be doing POE next thursday and then staying the night in buffalo with her mom and flying out here the next day on friday the 23rd! so much stress has been lifted it is ridiculous.

Kayla- If you call the embassy and choose the option regarding a death of us citizen and what not, number 1 I believe, it takes you straight to an operator. Make sure you tell them first that you are concerned that your passport/visa has been lost in the mail and ask them to look up the mail date and they write down all the tracking numbers and can provide you with it. thats how we got ours. I wish you the best.
