@KR did you use an immigration lawyer or you just filed on your own? I was helped by an immig lawyer but either way they can only also follow up. They told him it�fs still being processed as of last Fri.

@kath when you apply? Immigration Lawyer online ? How months now

Just one thing to keep in mind for those of you who are waiting for a COE: It takes time. If you don't get a reply back from immigration on the pending status, that is usually a good thing since it means they haven't asked you for additional information, which would take even longer.

You have to remember that this is the government working and they do what the government in any country does best: Take their sweet ol' time doing things. It's frustrating, I know. If you are really really worried about not getting an answer in quite a long time, then I would simply just contact the immigration office of where you filed your documents and just see what may be taking so long.

In most cases, they may just be swamped with lots of documents, but it doesn't hurt to ask just in case if somehow your case got pushed behind others. Good luck to all who are applying for the COE.

@kath We just applied on our own. and its about 7 months and 2 weeks waiting now
