Yes I did ask them to use urgent processing method and filled out a form. I guess they didn't fell like my reason was strong enough for them to consider it urgent so got back on 26th and left us on 27th.quanwang2dai said:
Work Permit Applications at NYC for 2013
- Thread starter cherrynoir
- Start date
I got a reply from New York today. They said they are working at August 13. Unbelievable. They only processed 1 day's application during last 8 days.
correction , last 14 days - only 1 days application because on nov 20th also they were working on Aug 12th.quanwang2dai said:
guess - we are going to see like this for the whole month as this is holiday season.
I am out of time now :-( . have to look for other option.
does anybody know whether visa application if approved ,can be transferred to other country for stamping on passport ?
Wao. This is really slow. Thank God I got my paper work before holiday season is starting. I got request to submit my passport on 18th of November and I submitted my online application on 8th. I am surprised in so many days they have only moved up till 13th which also has a weekend in it which means alot less applications. Typically in the past the weekend applications get processed really quickly. I hope things get better. Best of luck every one. It is good bye from me to this forum. It was really helpful feed back from everyone specially Raj and Scorpio. Chao and Allah HafizShku_2704 said:
I read somewhere in this forum that a guy went back to India because his status in the U.S. has expired. He got approval of his work permit from NYC ofc and asked the consulate/embassy in India if he can have the visa stamping in that country...I believe he got a positive reply.Shku_2704 said:
Is it not possible to just send the passport via courier to NYC office ...just in case when you are not in the U.S. and/or Canada at the time of approval, say out in business, vacation, etc..or when your US legal status is no longer valid and you had to leave U.S?
Please don't lose hope, I hope processing speed picks up in the next 2 weeks. I will send a enquiry next week to NY consulate. If any one has already sent an enquiry please let me know so that I could time my enquiry.
I have applied on Aug 22nd has any one applied before that.
Thank you

HI Sampcanada et al,

Thanks!

Guys,
really bad news for people waiting for their work permits...
Here is the response to my request on Dec 9. (Received Dec 11)
All applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received. An exact schedule of completion is not available at this time as our processing time is a minimum of (30) thirty days. Please be advised that as of today, we are processing files received on August 12, 2013.
It looks like they are not working on visa application at all for the past few weeks...

Thanks Olivia for sharing .oliviacanada said:
Yeah , it's really disappointing and ridiculous in a way. Since Nov 20th until today, they have not gone ahead at all.
Seems they have shut down processing at all and are still in strike mode :-(
Anyone , what happens if processing time exceeds the average processing time recorded on site(currently it is 4 months) .
Can it be expedited in someway if it is past the mentioned processing time ?
Thanks
Olivia,
There is a difference between dates for Online and paper application, was you online or paper based application.
Thank you
Samuel

Dear Friends,
First of all sorry for interrupting you.
I have applied work permit (TRV to my husband) on Nov 3rd 2013 through online. I have inquired about my application status both in general and case specific. I got same reply for both cases stating that currently they are processing August 2nd week applications and my application is in queue. They also added that if I want I can withdraw my application...
. I am confused whether I should wait until my term or withdraw my application and re-apply at visa office directly? Do any one know how much time it takes for paper application? Is there any fast track procedure to obtain within 2 or 3 weeks ? Since my husband tenure will finish in a month or two, I am really worried about my visa. I would be very thankful if you could suggest anything to expedite the process. I am looking forward to join in the University at the earliest, at least by end of January.
Appreciated your help,
Lakshmi
