Thank you.  So, are we looking at another 3 to 6+ months to complete this? I see that in the USCIS history web page, the K1 process has more than doubled in elapsed time since 2016.

Once our I-129 was approved, he arrived in less than two months.  Do not despair!

Thank you. So, what exactly were we applying for with the I-129F? I.e an "application" for what?

The I-129F is the petition to be APPROVED just to apply for the K-1 Visa. They do aggressive background checks to see if you even qualify to apply.

everyone goes thru the interview at embassy in Canada

petitioner gets all correspandence

No one goes through an interview at the US embassy in Canada for K1 or IR1/CR1.  All K1 and IR1/CR1 do go through interviews at the US Consulate in Montreal, Canada.

Really? Lol. Yes I am quite aware of where Montreal is located.  

 

There is a difference between the US Embassy located in Ottawa, Canada, and the US Consulates located in many cities across Canada but specifically in Montreal for immigrant interviews.

Hi. I just received the electronic email notice "Your case is ready for you to schedule an interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal.".

 

The first step is stated as assigning myself as "agent", but the CEAC site is consistently stating the site is down to file my DS-261. Is there another way to file this form? (The link to the fee payment is also not working)

 

Also, I have read that for the interview I am expected to bring originals of *all* documents we submitted for the I-129F application. Is this true? I need to reorder all docs because the original application will not be forwarded to the consulate general? It took months to get the original/official docs for the I-129F.

 

And finally, the alert I got implies that an interview date is already scheduled approx 1 month out. I suspect when i receive the paper documentation from the consulate I will know for sure - but wanted to double check if I actually need to schedule the interview,  and misinterpreted the electronic alert notice I got.

 

Thank you for any and all insight.
