Dear BryannaHi,
Background checks could take any amount of time to complete. This means a TRV decision may exceed the estimated processing time stated on the IRCC website.
If you need to travel to Germany shortly then I suggest you request the visa office to return your passport. You can send both a Case Specific Enquiry + an email.
You must make it clear in your request that you are NOT withdrawing/cancelling your TRV application + you will resubmit your passport to the visa office whenever it is required + enclose a scan of the Schengen visa (Germany) + flight bookings to Germany
Cheers
Thanking you for this help.
Can you please share how i can get my passport back? Just provide me the link, email add or website? I will prepare my request and send it on monday.
Regards
