I had same situation and am My Canada Visitor Visa expired on 25 dec 13, and i am still waiting for my Visa.

All i did was apply for Canada Visa Extension Online... $75 and you will get an Application confirmation Doc, which would keep you in Valid Status for 90days.

I hope our US Visa would be approved with that time period.

Hey Sandeep,even I submitted my passport on Thursday, Jan 2nd like you. I never got clearance email from consulate. The lady at the counter checked and collected my passport when I went in to inquire. Appreciate it you can update me (email id in my profile) when you get your waybill # from Loomis. My case status still shows administrative processing.

Sure, will do.

Do you have any idea why she took the Passport, when status is AP?
