I didnt send it directly to detroit but to windsor and got received on 12th. So, I believe it will be received in Detroit the next day which is 13th. How many days do you think it might take to get back our passports with all these holidays coming up?

When they stamp the Visa ECAS goes to Decision Made, that is another way to know your passport is on its way back

Has your ECAS changed to Decision made yet and has the return envelope been activated?
