Approved Online Visitor Visa: Passport Return Times

[rag_goud]

here are my processing times for the LA Consulate.

24th Feb : Online application submitted.
24th Feb: Received submission confirmation
14th Mar: received PP Request
15th Mar: Sent passport in USPS Express Mail(included return express mail envelop) to
EAPP
Consulate General of Canada
Immigration Section
550 South Hope Street, 9th Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90071
17th Mar: Passport delivered (from usps tracking status)
19th Mar: Passport sent back without stamping in the return envelop I have provided. They have attached a letter informing me that they no longer process
visa stamping at their center and that I send it to VAC center and provided me the link

20th Mar: I have sent my passport again in USPS express mail (including express return envelop) to the address I found on that link which is
Visa Application Centre – Los Angeles
2100 E. Grand Avenue
El Segundo
CA, 90245
U.S.A.
21st Mar(12 NOON): USPS status is updated as "Available for pickup".

Can anyone please let me know if this USPS status is normal for this center. Do they go and pick up the mails?. I didn't check the signature required box while sending it. Should I be worried.

Also can anyone please confirm if the address that I have sent for the second time is correct?


Thanks a lot in Advance!

This is my mom's timeline:

March 24, 2014 @ 3 PM - TRV online application submitted
March 24, 2014 @ 9 PM - Passport Request

** Will send her passport tomorrow.

Does that mean she's approved if they requested her passport? Or that's just the norm after submitting online application?

My passport envelope picked from USPS next day. Strange it was not delivered, I think USPS and VAC has understanding to pick envelopes next day.
