Don't know what to do or what I'm waiting for (Canada help!)

So I posted earlier after our interview.. here's quick summary

1) 221 (g) given to us at the interview because they had not received the Netherlands Police Report (which they failed to request after we requested it 3 times) and asked us to submit it (which we can't... they have to request it due to DOS Policy)

2) 221 (g) also to "look into the charges he had in Canada"- we submitted all police records and related court documents (charge, probation order, completion of probation, pardon record... no court records because they expunged his record and now there is nothing to show for it. Police report showed up Clear"

We got an email on August 16th telling us that they have requested the Netherlands police certificate (can take up to 15 days).

I have faxed a letter 2 weeks ago with a letter from the courthouse where his (non-existant) record would be, that stated that they could not find any record at all for him related to the charge that we disclosed and asked them if there was anything else they needed from us and to please look at our file and help us complete the process. We have heard nothing. Emails go unanswered, faxes are unanswered, and I do not know if a phone number to call.

What do I do now?? How do I find out if Holland sent the police record to the embassy? How do I find out if they are done "researching" his charge/pardon? How long is it reasonable to assume we'll be in limbo?? Our interview was August 9th and I am trying very hard to let them do what they need to do without hassling but I feel like it's just sitting somewhere and will continue to sit forever. There is nothing more for them to "get" regarding his charge, and the police report should be there by now if they truly requested it like they said.

They have his passport too by the way.

You could try calling DOS and asking them if Montreal has gotten the police cert for the case yet or if you are still in processing etc. Thats the only direct way I can think of because Montreal does not take phone calls.
