Hey guys,

 

I had my interview on September 25th. I was given a 221g for my fiance's divorce documents as they were not certified. After finally receiving the documents, I sent them via courier to Montreal Embassy, in which they were received on November 7th.

 

I got a "date update" on November 21st,  (which was I think because they sent me an email that day) as well as November 27th (which is currently the last update).

 

I know it says 6-8 weeks of waiting... but is there any chance I'm gonna get issued before then? It will be 4 weeks this Thursday. Can people please share their experiences of their 221g, and how long it took to get issued? I really think I'm starting to go crazy... All I want is to spend Christmas in the U.S. with my love.

Montreal is notoriously slow for responding to 221g.  Well I say that but either they do it within a week or you're there for 8 weeks.  I would email them or use the inquiry form to see what's up.

8 weeks is so ridiculous. Ugh. I feel like emailing them won’t get me anywhere. Thanks for your reply!

Where do you go to find the inquiry form? and what is the email you use to contact them ?

Wow, over 3 months to respond?

If you read my post it says I sent my documents Nov 7th. It took about 2 months to be issued!
