Our office is currently experiencing unexpected delays in processing temporary resident (visitor) visas, work permits and study permits. Please be assured that we are doing our very best to process all applications as quickly as possible.

We understand your concern about our longer-than-normal processing times. Our office has made it our goal to process all routine applications submitted prior to December 1, 2012 by December 17, 2012. We anticipate that we should be able to finalize the majority of these applications and place the documents in the mail to return to clients by December 17, 2012. If, for reasons beyond our control, your application will not be finalized and placed in the mail by December 17, 2012, we will advise you of such by e-mail.

If you require your passport back sooner, and wish to withdraw your application, please send a message to this e-mail address. Please be sure to put the following in the subject line: "Request to withdraw application". In your reply, please be sure to include your full name, your date of birth, your sex, your passport number and the type of visa for which you have applied. Please clearly state that you wish to withdraw your application. When we receive your e-mail, we will cease all processing on your application and will place your passport in the mail within two working days to be returned to you.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Minime,

If you sent it before Dec. 1, You am guessing you will get it next week around Wed. depending on the type of mail shipping you paid for to be sent to you.

Last few days I have sent several e-mails and faxes to them. So far, they haven't responded. My flight is on Dec. 18th. I applied on Nov. 9th. I don't know what to do at this point.

I think you should wait till Friday and if you don't still get it, go to the VISA consulate on Monday early in the morning and get your Passport under urgent processing (Something like that was mentioned in other threads)
