Hey y'all. My fiance and I had our Interview Nov 20. We brought the wrong type of Police Certificate which if I'm not mistaken looks like we haven't been the only ones to have done this. We were issued a white 221g requesting we send in the proper police certificate and her passport.  We went back home from Montreal to Vancouver to get the Fingerprint based PC. We sent it in and they received it Dec 13. We are in AP now on CEAC and it has been updated one time. Everywhere says usually 6-8 weeks is the general time frame for an issue of the visa. Just posting this to see if anyone else has gone through this and how long it took them. I know every case is different, just trying to reach out and get some hope about it. Also seeing if anyone has ever gone through the process of requesting the passport back for travel and if that pauses your processing. 

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!

The same thing happened to me as well. It took me 12 weeks for my case status to change to none-immigrant and my case date changed as well. From what I understand, it means they are finally working on my case. My interview date was October 2nd. Hope that helps!
