On 11th this month I received their reply saying my application has been finalized but yet not received the passport and documents back. In fact while sending case specfiic inquiry again today I got the same reply without any change in email saying it is finalized and shortly they will send me back documents.

What a hopeless service. Also they have written my file number wrongly again same as last time in the return email. :-[

Hi, here's my TL

Sent application including the original passport and I-20 via mail on April 4,2013
Received at the NY office on April 8, 2013
Emailed how the processing time exceeded beyond 21 days as mentioned online on May 10
They replied on May 15
"In regards to your application for a Temporary Resident Visa for Canada, please note that your application has been received and is in queue for processing.

Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalization. Should you wish to travel urgently and recover your passport, you may send us an email request to withdraw your application (include WITHDRAW in the subject line). "

When asked if they'd return the documents in person, I haven't heard from them.

I intended to leave for Canada on May 24 and head to India from there on June 2.

So, I'm gonna visit the office in NY tomorrow to see what my chances are of getting a visa. If I don't get the visa, I'd at least like for the authorities to hand me my passport and I-20 so I could plan my subsequent trip. Having read people's accounts here on this forum, every little ray of hope is diminishing by the minute.

Hi harried,

Please let me know how it went in NY consulate. Did they give you the passport back with a visa stamp..?

My husband and me had applied as a family. When the embassy asked us to send our passports across, we sent our passports in one envelope but included two return envelopes.

It was an unsatisfactory visit to the NY office.
It's May 22 and they are still processing files received on March 25.
So they haven't even seen my file which reached there on April 8.
They would not hand me my passport even though I'm standing there requesting them ever so fervently.
These people honestly don't care. They don't get it that they are inefficient and people are honestly mad at them!
The queue for withdrawing applications was as long as that of the applicants.
One of the persons was int he queue to get her passport after five months and still no visa. Now that's saying something.

Guys,
A quick question.. What if I withdraw my application? Do I get the fee paid along with passport?

Thanks for the update harried. This is so horrible. I was planning to go to NY consulate tomorrow with my passport and find out my online application status. But now I get a feeling that it is waste of time and money.
