Have you notified the consulate that you believe you are exempt from the ban?

I am on eb3 visa, i have already an employer( hospital) NVC actually sent me a letter that i sent a wrong police clearance after 2 weeks that i submitted my civil documents. I already sent them the right one, and working with my lawyers about it. Yep, i have read the exemptions of the proclamation, i am here in canada with a working permit. I sent it Jan 12, I think i will wait 2-3 months. I dunno, i was just asking to know the estimated waiting time since it depends on the consulate.

It’s still not clear to me if you have actually brought it to the attention of the consulate that this application is exempt from the ban. They do not look at all of them and go “oh there is an exemption”, they need to be told. If they do not know there is an exemption you will just go to the back of the line, they will not schedule an interview until the ban is lifted and they get to your place in line. So it is a pertinent question to ask, and will seriously affect the question you are asking about waiting time.
 

NVC asking you for a correct police certificate is not relevant to being an exception. It is NVC’s job to ensure all your documents are correct before they send the case to the consulate. They do this regardless of whether or not a ban is in place /priority date current and an interview can yet be scheduled.

Okay, thank you so much for the information. I appreciate it. If NVC are asking for a new document should i wait more months for it to become DQ? I don’t know what is their basis maybe the last document that I sent right? 

[SusieQQQ 11,586]

So you’re still not DQ? Sorry didn’t realize that (I should have read first post more carefully) Not sure what current NVC processing times for updating missing documents is. You need to be DQ before you can think about contacting the consulate.

[Julia0705 7]

But still, thanks for the info. After i submitted my documents they replied less than 2 weeks for the wrong police clearance i’m stucked in NVC since Dec 2020 because I sent them wrong police clearance (which is my fault) but i’m sure i gave the right one this jan 12. I think i’ll wait for my DQ and inform them about my job as a medical professional. My eb3 priority date is July 2019 and eb3 is current now. I think the only thing that i will do now is to wait. And hope things will be on my favour

Update: I already received an email from NVC that I am already Documentarily qualified and waiting for my interview schedule.. it took me 2 months from the date I submitted my missing documents.

Montréal is currently up to August 2023. So must be more than year if they go with same pace.

It also depends on the Priority Date though, as it recently retrogressed. 

 

Edit: just realised this thread is from over three years ago! So OP will have (hopefully) had their visa a long time ago.
