Showing more money transfer receipts can only land you into more problem than help you solve. When a guy immigrates from Pakistan to US, he normally goes under more scrutinized background check process than a girl would. Not to let your hopes down but I know a family who has been waiting for 2 years for the guy to get his visa stamped but his file is under AP. Getting a lawyer involved is a good thing but beware that having a lawyer doesn't solve all problems. USCIS nor NVC require whole albums of photos to make a connection between a couple. It takes only a minor thing to have the file put under AP.

Best advice I could give you is to just go about your normal day and let this process happen. My wife and I are going through the same and 90% of the time it's just a wait game. Hope all goes well for the two of you.

Well,

For those who sent their passport or any additional documentation to Montreal, I just want to share my timeline:

I sent my passport and medical exam on February 10th 2011.

On April 28th I got a call from Montreal. They apologize for the delay, said they are very busy, and that my visa was issued, and sent through express-post because I should use it ASAP (Medical Exam Expiring soon).

I got it yesterday,

Total waiting time since I sent my documents 11 Weeks.

Good Luck to people waiting for this.

My wife is in a similar position. Her passport was being made at the time of interview so we posted it the very next day after the interview. The lady at the window told us although the visa is approved she can not do anything until the passport has been received by the consulate and stamping the visa can take up to 8 weeks. Been 3 weeks so far. Hopefully it won't take 11 weeks just to stamp visa on the passport. I'm dreading this wait not knowing the status of the case. Our 221g stated only Canadian Passport as needed document

My wife is dealing with a similar type of issue. she became citizen of canada a week before the interview and since we didnt know which passport they would need at the time of interview, we took her pakistani passport along with us. Though we found out during interview that we needed her Canadian passport for US consulate to stamp visa on. Though her visa was approved on spot the only thing pending was the passport which was posted to them via DHL the very next day and it was received by the consulate on wednesday. I'm just wondering how long does it normally take from that point onwards for US consulate in Montreal to stamp visa on the passport and mail it back. Thanks in advance.
