What is the current processing time in the LA consulate for Temporary resident visa. We plan to take a cruise from Seattle to Alaska and the ship docks for a day in Canada on July 23.

What are my chances of getting the passports stamped and recd within a month ( We live in North California ) ?

Is it true that online applications are held due to strikes and paper applications are not held up ?

The documents they require includes an Employment Reference letter that has to have the company seal ? Is that neccessary ? How important is it to provide the business card of your Manager ? I have the Employment Reference letter however its not sealed . I dont have my Managers business card and he's out of the country so I would really like to know if its an absolute must ?

Yes - there's currently a strike that is affecting processing times.

Even if there wasn't a strike, you would probably be applying too late (base on the experiences here, you seem to need at least a month and a half).
