Documents sent to Montreal, I-601 Approval

[tdot_83 1]

Hi everyone,

I have a question.We got our I-601 approval notice from USCIS on July 8th 2014,and letter from U.S consulate Montreal on July 17th 2014.They did want me to send updated medical exam ,police certificate and the updated forms with my passport .We did everything and sent them to the consulate with loomis expres ( Markham ) on July 28th.They received it next day.By the way for some reason,it says delivered in Lachine when i track my package from loomis webpage.

I've been checking my MTL number status everyday since the consulate received my documents but it's still refused.Nothing changed. Is it something normal?

Hi there,our waiver was approved in Oct 2013 and we submitted documents to Montreal consulate in nov 2013. Then in jan 2014 our status went from refused to ready to administrative processing. By the way, we still have not gotten our visa issued!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as the Lachine, I was very concerned about that too because obviously that is not the final destination but it turned about to be correct because 2 months later the consulate acknowledged the receipt of our documents.

Please post the progress of your case because I am dying to know if it is normal for montreal to take so long to issue immigrant visa after a waiver approval or that there is some sort of an issue with our case.

You have been waiting for your visa since November 2013?

I hope I don't have to wait another 6 months after waiver approval.Have you ever sent an email to Consulate?

Thank you so much for your reply.

Hello, I know this thread is over a year old, but I was just wondering what happened in your cases...I recently received the approval of my i601 waiver and I do not know what to expect from the Montreal Consulate.

Hi there,

I know these thread is old but am wondering how long it took for people to get their visa from the Montreal Consulate after they submitted their passport.

Thanks for your answer.
