Hey, Fiance is Honduran, this is his third visa. We applied through the mail. :D

Application received: September 16 Send back APPROVED: September 20! Applicant has previously been approved for 3 SEV. Any questions let me know!

We sent our application Oct 30, they signed for it Nov 6. We received an email on Monday Dec 10 that they would have them sent out hopefully by Dec 17, and we got the visa today at 5:00. It was issued Dec 11. We originally were planning for him to come for Thanksgiving (those were the dates he...

Wow Minime! that is awesome to hear, have a great time in Canada!

Yes, this is good news. It means that they've at least looked at your file, and they should have it sent out by Dec 17th, by the latest. We still have not received anything yet in the mail, we sent our application October 30 and they received Nov 6.

Congrats! So good to hear!

Hey Minime and all! Yes it is great news, we are all so happy to hear!

Hey, if you put an email in your application they will send you this response.

Hey all So we're giving up, we are going to go to NY this Monday. Does anyone have experience with this, what we need, what could possibly happen? We live 4 hours away so any helpful tips would be appreciated.

Alright, so we submitted our application a month ago- no response. After reading some other people's forums, some have gone to NYC and filled our an urgent application form. Has anyone done this, and if so, what was the experience for you, and what did you do? Thanks so much!

Lazyboy2k9, Was it returned in the same day?

Has anyone here gotten their visas back?

Hey Yiwei! If you go to the website, you will see that they do not offer walk ins anymore. You can, however, go to the NYC consulate and get your papers back. In some cases, they will ask you to sit there all day and they will give you the visa, and in others they will cancel your application...

Hey, so I think you can assume your visa application will not be sent back until mid January, at the very least. We sent our passport/application Nov/6, and we still have heard nothing back. Yes, they will probably send you an email requesting that form, but I do believe you can send them the...

Hey Unfortunately it has been a long and brutal process for everyone, as they are really backed up right now. Your best bet would be to cancel your application... I would consider going there because they are slow even with cancelations. How long ago did you apply for the visa?

Thanks a lot! Let us know how it goes.

If you do go to NYC, please let us know about your experience. Same if you get the visa, if you can give the days (including weekends) that would be so helpful. No one is really sharing info on what the experience is if you go to NYC and get the visa.

I have read through several posts, the average really varied. For some, it was 35 days including weekends, while others took up to 65 days including weekends. I do not think your visa is lost in the mail or anything, I know that they are severely backed up as several CIC offices has closed...

Hey Minime- I read some other forums where people have gone to NYC and collected their documents. In some cases, they ask them to return the next day, and they get their documents back with the visa stamped in it. In other cases they have told people that if they want it back that they will...
