It's not that anyone thinks you're annoying. We can all sympathize, BUT you are looking for comfort that no one can realistically give you.

@bblo They said the eight week thing to me as well. Right now, it's been 13 weeks since they received all my documentation, and almost 16 weeks since our interview! So if your case will be anything like mine, it may be a bit longer than 8 weeks.

Hopefully your will be done soon. I got my papers in order on the first interview and frankly I am fed up with the fact that I was told my visa will be issued next day or else I would get further instructions. How can one plan anything if we are left hanging like that. Anyways it would be nice if more people from Montreal would give some input even though I believe that consulate has no say on the outcome.
Thank you very much khoya and good luck, I am worried consulate until now have not called me.
Samir,
How long have you been waiting?
This is good news tomorrow will change your status Issued , good spirit

Hi Everybody,
Here is my first post here but I was under administrative Processing for a while and I was reading your threats here to release my stress of waiting. For that I wanna write about my case which could help somebody.
My interview was 1st of March. It was pretty good and the CO told me that your documents are fine and your Visa will be approved but we need your CV and this may take two weeks of AP. I think this AP because of my chemical engineering studies. Actually, I wanted my passport because I wanna travel and CO told this fine you can take the passport and when you come back in April, you send them to us to issue your Visa. I did take my passport with me but I asked Simon and he advised me to send the passport back to them since AP takes only two weeks as CO said otherwise you may have a problem to get visa in April. So, I did the following:
1.03: interview date
one day after: CV sent by email and passports by post
on the same day: Status update, AP for me, wife and son
two days after: received email from consulate asking me the travel history of the past 10 years because I have renewed my passport
on the next day: sent the travel history by email a scanned copy of my old passport and the status updated but still AP
one week after: status update at evening (done in USA) still AP
22.03: status update at evening (done in USA) still AP
23.03: status update at morning (done in the consulate) still AP but wife and son became ready (two weeks after they received all my required documents as CO said)
24.03: status update at morning (done in the consulate) still AP and wife and son still ready
24.03: status update at afternoon (done in the consulate) all visa are ISSUED
Now, I'm the passports and I hope I can get them soon so I can arrange my holiday!
I thank Simon and wish all the best for all

Is
it possible that status was changed by the embassy in my country,maybe just too look at the file(no email,no call from my side) cause status was changed around 11:30 eu time,that s 6:30 us time and i doubt that somebody in the states update thiswhat do you think?
Thank you for you answer

I think that is a lot of guessing about a status update - and as I have said before (one or twice at least) - I think you can drive yourself nuts with overthinking status updates.

I was just askin you,cause i know you have a lot of knowledge about this things,more or less my question was who control changes in CEAC website does it have to be somebody from DOS or anybody in any embassy in the world who decide just look at the file and the change automatic flip it s turn like a date change or status change as far as go for dates i get it can be change if somebody from embassy look in a file i just thought that status change has to be done direct from DOS,don t be mad at me Simon it s just i realy hard for me goin thru all this and dates and status changes and so on and no real answer from nowhere i wish you a pleasent weekend and happy Ester Sunday
