Thank You Regards, Kumar Congratulations on your visa! Even I thought ill get the same situation as my marriage in Feb. and I'm appearing for my visa on Jan 25th. So, I posted my concerns in this forum that 'can I request embassy to return my passport?'. I got few replies saying that you can request them if they are taking much time. I'm not sure about how to approach but send them an email saying its very urgent and tell that you can come back after your wedding. Hope they should understand and reply back to you asap. Good luck!

msrikar1986 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi there, Nothing to worry. It just takes 2 business days.

MNReddy21 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi gk03, I'm also in the same situation. I've attended the interview on 01/22 in Calgary and got a white sheet from VO stating Admin Processing wit reason written on the other as "Application is not yet in PIMS" . In your case how long it took to get the PIMS update? Thanks, Nick Link to comment
uvemulapalli Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hey Nick, Generally, It takes two weeks to get the update on PIMS side. This is from personal experience. Link to comment
MNReddy21 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hi Upendra, Thanks for the update? In which consulate you had your interview? some were saying any where b/w 3 days to a week here in Calgary. Is there any way that my employer or attorney can ask for PIMS update status from either USCIS or KCC? Thanks, Nick. Link to comment
uvemulapalli Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 This is the case with my wife. You cann't do anything about it not even your employer or attorney i guess. Just sit tight and wait. That's a blunt answer. Link to comment
