I mailed my application from Boston on Feb 2, they received it on Feb 4.
I contacted them on feb 27th (yesterday) and was told that it was still in processing. I will contact again on March 4th since that would be 30 days since they received it.

I mailed my application to NY consulate for TRV without the original passport. I later on received an letter from them after 3 weeks to submit the passport. I went in person to NY consulate and got it stamped the same day. NY consulate accepts people in person for stamping from 1pm-2.30pm

I did check this forum and CIC website and it was told requirement to mail original passport. My attorney indicated its fine to send application without the passport and they will further request it and that is exactly what happened.

Just to follow up, saw on USPS that my passport was mailed yesterday (March 7th) so it took about 33 days to complete.

Hi All,

Does anyone have an idea how long does it take for the Detroit Consulate to process a visitor visa application?
I am in Canada, I have a work permit, I just needed to get a visa to be able to travel to/from Canada. So I sent my application to Detroit Consulate, the mail went to P.O. Box in Windsor - in their directions on the website they allow you to send it to the PO Box in Canada... So it was delivered on 23rd of February.
On the website they say processing time min. 30 days.
I know they still have time, but I feel very worried for my passport and I don't know what to do and what are my rights in this situation...
So I will be thankful for any information.

Thanks,
Maria.

Will it be OK if I apply to NY office even though I live in CA? Or is it a must that I should apply to LA office only?

Hi Sandy,

You initailly mentioned that, the email response you got from the canadain counsulate that, they could not locate your file or they may have sent it back for whatver reason (which is my case at the moment-very frustrating). Then you later siad that you got an email from they that it is being processed and then u ultimately got ur passport in 39 days. is my account correct, so their originla email that they dont have ur case is irresponsible? plz clarify
