Two separate applications filed online from US west coast, though they were apparently processed all together. Applicants hold US visitor visas and going to Canada as part of cruise trip. 5/29 Applied online with a letter to request expedited service as cruise date is close (7/24) 5/29-6/7 A...

Two separate applications filed online from US west coast, though they were apparently processed all together. 5/29 Applied online with a letter to request expedited service as cruise date is really close 5/29-6/7 A few updates (emails) though nothing really changed in account status 6/7...

I also speculate that the true reason for rejection is that they are afraid that your girlfriend's tie to you is stronger to her tie in China so that she may stay in Canada after the visit ...

Did she explicitly listed her travel history? I helped my in-laws for the application. In the travel history part, we organized a file, the 1st page listed all their travels abroad in the last five years, start to end dates of each trip, then the rest of the pages are the images of visas and...

timeline: Applied online 5/29 in west coast of US PP requested 6/7 I see people either sent their passports to VAC in CA or NY consulate even though they actually live at west coast. I understand that the cic link tells you to send it to VAC but if NY consulate accepts and processes them...

Applied 5/29, 2 separate applications, everything happened in sync for both cases: 5/30, update, but nothing changed and no new message 6/5, update, but nothing changed and no new message 6/6, update, but nothing changed and no new message 6/7, passport request message :) Good luck everyone...

bymp, thanks for such detailed timelines. since our applications were submitted, we have got 1 message saying "updated" but there is nothing showing in the accounts. plus the accounts switched between "submitted" and "updated" back and forth. such a black box! i have to agree that the visas...

I want to start a thread for all US applicants so we can all wait together. applied 5/29 (west coast), on tourist visa in US apparently still waiting ... cruise trip on 7/24. fingers crossed ...

Congratulations!

While I'm waiting for the online application result, I cannot help looking for backup option in case online application takes too long for us to make our cruise trip. I read the following on NY consulate website. Does anyone have experience with in-person application? How long will it take for...

akil_f1, hope you get them back tomorrow! Fingers crossed for both of us.

Thanks, Jannu. According to the following thread, people sent their passports to either VAC or Consulate in NY. "Approved Online Visitor Visa: Passport Return Times" I cannot post link here, but search "approved online visitor" in the forum then you will see.

It is amazing to see from people's posts, the online application can be approved as quickly as 6 hours and as long as 2 months! Can everyone provide a little bit more information on their application, such as where it is applied and what makes you think you could be approved fast. I will start...

I am worried for our applications. My parents are in US on tourist visas. We are going to an Alaska cruise trip on 7/24. They submitted their application online on 5/30. If it takes 2 months just to get passport request, we would never be able to make the trip! >:(

Did you ask for expedited service? I have seen people reporting that it took almost 2 months to get passport request. Thanks.

akil_f1, in your case, it took 40 working days, 8 weeks! I am a little bit on the edge now. My parents are in US on tourist visas. We are going to an Alaska cruise trip on 7/24. They submitted their application online on 5/30. If it takes that long just to get passport request, we would never...

Jannu, congratulations. May I ask your timelines? When did you submit online and when did you get the passport request? I read sending to NY consulate is the most efficient and cost-effective way.

Stupid me: just submitted the online application in a rush then I realized that I did not complete Form5645 (Family Information) as instructed. 1st, I only filled in with English, not with my native language Chinese as well. 2nd, I did not sign at the end. Basically I treated it as the...

Jalex23, I read the contrary. He explained his urgency in the application online for sure. I suppose he did the same thing when he sent the passport to NY consulate.

BTW, devnani, you forum message inbox is full :(
