Hi Guys!

This is what happend to me (sorry for bad english, i'm french...)

My Timeline :

April 18th 2013 send the petition

Mai 12th 2013 approuved

July16th 2013 packet 3

September 6th 2013 packet 4

September 21st :ready to schedul in interview.

Try to get and interview date, nothing available ...Till...

on october 26th, finally get an interview date wich was jan 13th 2014...

I was happy to get a date, but again, the wait was too much for me...

Everyday, i was looking for another closer date on CSC, and out nowhere, i got one for Nov 25th 2013!

I was so happy i could'nt beleive it...

Cancelled my first interview date (jan 13th 2014)

And got confirmation for my Nov 25th 2013...

Everything goes well, interview in 5 mins, got approuved.

Then: NOTHING until...

I was freaking out, reading post on canadien that had the same interview date and already got their visa a week after...

Was praying to spend christmas whit my fiance...was make all sort of senarios on my case,reading thoses horror story on the forum...was terrible.

until...

The day after, my previous first interview date (jan 13th 2014) ...

My case finally opened

janv 14th case open

jan 15th AP

jan 17th issued

jan 22 in hand.

So basicly, they never touch my case till the first interview date.

Witch it's not cool, because i would have done something else in my life then going on CSC website every seconds during thoses terrible 2 months.

Is it a mistake from them? Is it the way it works?

Well i never saw any explanation on that anywhere.

I just tought it may give tip to someone who have maybe this situation...

Anyway, drama is done

Leaving for DC tommorow, dream come true

I wish i can give a medal to everyone that goes into that process!!!

Good luck to all!

Now let's get married!

Sometimes your visa can go through a process called administrative processing which can take 2-3 months. It all depends what you gave them at the interview, if all your paperwork was in order, etc. My fiance's interview was on the 6th of January but did not get her visa approval until 3 weeks later. Not cool.

I think the dates were just a coincidence. My husband was in AP so I feel you pain. Be happy it's over and you can finally get married. Congratulations!

Some cases are placed in AP. The times vary for how long a case will stay in AP and no one can ever answer with any accuracy just how long a certain case will remain in AP. One in AP, all you can do is wait until they finally issue your visa.

Congrats on finally getting yours.

Sounds frustrating. Glad to hear it had worked out. Congratulations and best wishes to you on the next part of your journey
