Hi all - I didn't find any existing topics on this, apologies if it is a repeat.

I am in the process of bringing my parents from Vancouver down to Seattle on a green card. We recently got our welcome letter from the NVC stating that the interview would be held in Montreal. This was surprising because we were expecting Vancouver, but some further research indicated that the Vancouver consulate is no longer processing immigrant visas. :(

One other idea that popped to mind was whether it is possible to do the interview in the US. Having my parents drive down to Seattle would be much easier/cheaper than going out to Montreal. However, I couldn't find any advice on whether this is possible so I'm hoping someone on this forum can help.

Thanks in advance!

green card issuance occurs

after

the POE event,

activating the IR-5 visas.

Usually 2 to 6 months after.

Why? ELIS is messed up. Study more about ELIS, aye?

Do remember, with a stamp from the POE, the visa is then turned into a temporary I-551 document with a year o validity in it.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
