Yes, but we included a return envelope with the US address on it, so we wanted it to go there :)

Hi Everyone! :)

I sent in my passp to the Los Angeles VO on 11/20/2012 and they received it on 11/21
My Ecas status changed to DM on 12/7 and I haven't received my passp yet.
I live in Los Angeles and I did include an envelope (express mail) with my address filled out just as requested by the consulate.

Anyone, around my timeline, still waiting for passp to be returned? :(
Is it normal to wait this long?

Any comment/advice will be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance!

Due to the mail, and the holidays, it'll take a little while. What's your timeline? I noticed you're not on the spreadsheet :)

And TeeandMike, congrats! You're now blue on the spreadsheet!!

Hi Parker

My wife just got a letter today on my behalf which is weird since I am the applicant and i included my email address. anyways they are requesting additional police clearances and I am so confused because I included them in the application. I guess they want my state clearances now too. I am so bummed because I dont know how long these will take a further delay the process. Im ready to pull all my hair out. ugggggggggggg. Anyways that is my status. Exactly the xmas I didnt want. Good luck to you and yours on the holidays.

Are they requesting the same police file you sent in the beginning with your application?
If it's the same one they are requesting then I don't think you should get another copy. Try to contact them and let them know you already had it included in the application, and ask them to look thoroughly.

When they requested for my passport they also included an email stating that I needed to pay the permanent resident fee and mail them the original receipt which my hubby did, both, long time ago. After I notified them about this, they did their work, found it and I proceeded to send my passp.

Boarder, may I know where did you send your application to?

Thanks
