Awaiting our passport for 14 days now
Hello all,
I am here to ask for your help /experience.
My mother, an Iranian citizen, went to the US embassy in Montreal (Canad status: visitor) on September 18th. The officer took her passport and said her visa (J1 Category) is approved. However, the next day we received an email asking for more documents (regarding extreme vetting, 221g form). I knew then that the process may take longer and my mother can't stay that long in Canada. So, I asked the embassy and they called me to come and pick up the passport.
On OCT 21st they sent an email that "the office has reviewed her case and asked for "Valid Passport"". My impression was that her visa is approved. She traveled back to Canada and submitted her passport on Nov 20th. Since then it is under the process with two updates on the dates but no status change (in the USCIS system).
W have contacted the embassy several times while keep hearing that they cannot predict the processing time. It has been 14 days that the passport is in the embassy. They are not confirming if the visa was approved nor returning the document.
Has anyone experienced a long wait time, processing time (for visa approval issuance) after they asked for a passport? Has anyone been asked for a passport while still under AP?
Living out of a suitcase with my mom in Montreal waiting for any updates. Any suggestion is very much appreciated.
