I have a feeling there are going to be many very upset people around here in the not-so-distant future.

Sorry to hear about your hold up and hope it all works out ASAP!

I'm afriad it is. Since I got that phone call this morning from London, I

have since called back and spoke to the same chap to see what my

options are, and he confirmed that this is world-wide.

You're probably screwed too, irishgirl73.

Everyone should relax at least until we get some confirmation of this. How often has consulates given bad information before? It might be a worldwide recall affecting only certain petitions, certain service centers, or even certain staff.

It honestly feels foolish as well. They don't have the petitions at the USCIS? Why not continue to process them in both places, and only issue the visa after both the interview and additional security checks are completed.

I'm going through Vermont/Montreal, so I've emailed them and I'll post here if I get any reply.

I too will be going through both Vermont/Montreal with any luck paperwork submission will be early next week, do keep us posted as to what they say to you.

What a bunch of sh*t! Stupid stupid stupid, one would think that perhaps they would have anticipated the IMBRA, because, ya know, we all knew about it beforehand.

Do'h!

I'm sorry to hear this, for all of you who will be affected. I hope the (re)approval doesn't take very long.

Sorry to learn of this and hopefully it won't slow everyone down.

I'm guessing all us who still haven't been sent to the consulate yet (I think mine should be at the NVC right about now) have already been through the extra checks. BUT I'm also guessing this will back all of us up as they recheck the poor sods they're rechecking then rushing them back into the interview process therefore pushing the rest of our interviews back as well. I KNOW this isn't anywhere near as bad as being one of the people who just got handed the shaft these past couple of days but until I hear different I'm thinking we're all going to feel the pinch.

I'm so sorry to everyone out there who was so close to the end

Has this happened to anyone else yet? If it's truly happening on a wide scale, maybe we can form some kind of pattern. lol. sorry, just trying to figure something out to keep panic away.

this could explain why montreal didn't issue interview dates for a few weeks.
