Dear Shankar,

good luck with the wait, it could be long one.............I have been waiting since the last one year and now the medicals have been lost by the Ottawa immigration people.............Expect anything, and dont be gung ho till you get the passport stamped and in your hands.

I have also been waiting for my passport request from the New York Consulate. I submitted all FINAL documents and payment in December 2002, but still no word from them, inspite of a letter end of February requesting status. When posting your experience, please make sure to mention which Consulate you are dealing with, so we can see if there is a pattern somehow.

maybe everyone should also post which country they are from originally, or which countries they have lived in, so that everyone knows how long the background checks take depending on which country the applicant is coming from

what is the status of the application, I'm not sure.

Hi Shankar,

We have the exact same timeline. Interview was waived from Buffalo and the medicals were sent from the doctor's office on Jan 8/03. We are still waiting for passport request.

If you don't mind can you please let me know if you are US citizen? If not, how long have you been in the states?

shankar_kyr

No.
5 years.
Please post your timeline in this thread so that everyone benefits.

Don't worry . You will get it soon
