Hi all.. Has anyone who interviewed at Montreal consulate received updates in regards to their approvals since the visa issue has been resolved ? Just trying to get an idea how quickly things are moving over there.

I had my interview for I130 on 17th June and was approved. they told me 2 - 3 weeks because of all the issues.

However Montreal released this on their consulate page:

-------------------------------------

Resumption of Visa Services 26 June 2015

Visa Update: Visa processing has resumed at the U.S. Embassy and consulates in Canada. Interview appointments are now available. Some posts in Canada have openings as soon as June 26. To schedule an appointment, visit https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv.

For those travelers whose interviews were cancelled during the systems outage: check your email for a message with instructions to reschedule your interview, or visit https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv.

If you are waiting to receive your approved visa: we are currently working to eliminate the backlog of visas awaiting printing, and anticipate that we will be able to print the majority of visas by early next week. You will receive an email when your visa is ready to be picked up at the Loomis location you selected when you applied.

We deeply regret the inconvenience these technical problems have caused for travelers waiting for visas and are working hard to return to normal processing. Updates will continue to be posted here, and on the State Department website travel.state.gov.

-------------------------------------

so we should hear next week for the visas being printed.
