Moving File from one Consulate to Montreal

[Batta 6]

Hello,

Since NVC decided to send our case to a wrong consulate, now it is become more hassle to try to get it moved to Montreal.

After 13 days of our file arrived in Baghdad consulate, they sent us email saying they do have our file. Although according to DOS it is been sitting with them for 13 days... amazing and that packet 3 was sent to my fiance military address though he has not recieved it.

Now, I contacted Moontreal on 4th to ask to move case to them, on Saturday 7th I got response to provide document of finace current status in Canada.

I sent his landing card, his citizenship, his passport, all emailed on night of 8th. I have been waiting till today with no answer.

We also faxed the papers on 12th because we thought may be they over looked the email, although I got the auto response.

I don't know how long I should wait more to try sending another email. Should I call the DOS to find my status...

I think I need to put myself to sleep till they respond or else I would be in mental hospital.

Thanks

Batta

If ur fiance is working in iraq I don't really see how an interview in montreal is going to help?

- Your making multipul posts in different places with all different information. You need to put all the information in ONE post in ONE spot.

But he resigned and no longer working there.

I put it here cause some other user suggested to use Canada form

There really isn't any magical answer to your question. All you can do is contact the embassy/consulate where his file is now and contact Montreal (which you have already done) and let them sort it out between each other.

Do email Montreal again, do call DOS and ask where your file is now. While you don't want to go over board, you have waited a while before following up - so go for it.

If he is back in canada, then basically all you can do is wait its Sunday, they dont work on weekends. Give them a chance to look at the information its only been one week that you have sent it to them. If nothing in another week or two then contact the embassy.

The Baghdad consulate will definatly move your file to Montreal, not sure how long it will take, but keep in contact with Montreal. I worked in Baghdad for 3 years and the Consulate there will not handle fiance visa's. They are only concerned with issues much more centered around US security and Iraqi relations. So even if your hubby was still there, they 90% prolly would not work on this case, as it is not a matter of national security. It is an extremely busy embassy though, so be patient and keep on them and Montreal.

Best of Luck

Thanks tbaygrrl,

When we filed we requested Jordan since he was working in Iraq and understanding based on consulate webpage that once petition approved to file for Visa outside Iraq. The NVC sent his papers to Baghdad cause they said they did not have contact of him.

Now we decided on Montreal because he came home. No more danger zone for him. I guess we never calculated this wait time.

Thank you for your advise.

I have thought to keep this post active since I want to see how long it will take to see a response.

On Monday 16th, I contact DOS to see if any changes happen, yet nothing showed up.

I send up sending an updated emial to Montreal asking again for their approval to move case to them.

In return I contact Baghdad and updated his address and wanted to see if we can get Pakcet 3 so at least we keep things moving.

Baghdad said " Sorry" wait for Montreal.

This morning I called again to DOS and all they could say there is a note that file is pending Montreal request.

On Wed we called the 900 asking for information and they were not able to give anything.

It is been two weeks and nothing yet from them.

The funny part I have CC'd the non-immigrant email as per the lady from ( 900 number). NIV did read my email cause I got the read message delievery, but DIV did not recieve it.

I wish I can fly out to them and go ask by myself..

Going out for glass of wine to clear this stress
