Thanks for the info - I knew the processing times had changed as I check regularly. The problem is I can't call and as per the Haiti website they not only say not to contact them within "normal processing times" but also that they will not give out any info over the phone. My husband emailed them 4 weeks ago - we are only trying to get the B file number so that we can try to track online (isn't that what the online system is for??) and he has not received a response.
I tried calling Mississauga to see if someone could tell me how often the website is updated from Haiti. All I was told was that the papers must be there because they went in a diplomatic pouch. Not that he knew that for sure - I'm sure there has been at least one case in history where the documents got misplaced/lost.
Maybe it's my profession but the idea of waiting with my fingers crossed for the 8 month mark to come and go to finally find out the documents never made it, were delayed, there has been a missed phone call or there is a missing letter doesn't sit well with me. That would be time wasted when I could have been with my husband. I'm a production planner - I plan and replan and plan for the unexpected. Hard to plan for anything when you can't get any information. All I want to do is check the online system through my husband's file number - which from what I read is the only way to see the detailed information.
