Canada transit visa (Worst nightmare)
Hi Guys,

I had my transit visa approved online on July24 and they had requested passport to be stamped. I sent my passport on Aug3rd, till now it is stuck at VFS center and i did not recieve any email update or tracking number yet. Then i sent an email got the tracking number and escalated my case and it is been 5 days no response yet. I have my flight to catch on Sep21st but my passport is still not reached the embassy. This is a total nightmare for a transit visa process, and being without passport for so many days without knowing the whereabouts. Is there anything i can do to expedite this process? I am also thinking if there is option to log official complaint so that it does not happen to others.

Thanks,

Visitor Visa - from USA - Argentinian Citizen
Hi guys!
I had applied for my Visitor Visa in the US. I am from Argentina.

This is my timeline:

Application submitted 31July
Biometrics request 13 August
Biometrics done 28 August

Still no news. Someone had the same problem? I sent the web form yesterday, attaching my contract, which started last week. Does it take longer because I am not a US citizen?

Documents Needed Confusion
Dear Community Members,

I had applied for tourist visa with my parents from USA. Following are the timeline:

Application submitted: 6th Aug 19
Biometrics Collection Letter: 7th Aug 19
Biometrics Completed: 21st Aug 19

For both of my parents its showing below when I goes to: Check full application status > View submitted application or upload documents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Family Members

You have told us that additional people will come to Canada with you. Please attach their documents below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I am confused for below reasons:

1) I had already uploaded the mentioned document when I submitted the application.
2) On my parents' dashboard table its still showing "We do not need additional documents" under "Review of additional documents"

So my question is what to do, do they need additional documents or not. If yes, then how to submit since there is no option to upload it as I had already uploaded the asked document with original submission.

Thanks a lot for helping hand.

TIMELINE AND QUESTION

Aug 13 - Received Biometrics (both)
Aug 15 - Passport request for mine, still waiting for my wife's

I think I will wait for her application approval as well and then send our passports in one envelope.

Can I send only one return shipping label? They should mail our processed passports together.
