My Fiance just got an email (k1-ftp) and case status is 'Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center.'

Is this the default email they send?

Yes that’s the generic email you get when your case is currently being shipped from NVC to your country’s embassy

Ok SO - we had to call the NVC again to get our invoice ID. My fiance asked about an email and the lady was like 'who told you about any email? You need to wait for Sydney to email you and that won't

I'm assuming I'll have a "in transit" update in October given my NOA2 was end of August...

It looks like the Montreal Consulate is still quite backlogged so I don't expect to hear anything soon. 😔

 

Anyone from Canada still waiting for their case to be In Transit?

Hi Minny! I am the Canadian beneficiary, and my fiancé is the American petitioner. We're also waiting for our case to be in transit.

 

I'm unsure if you've been informed of this previously, but K1 applicants waiting on the Montreal embassy have come together in a group on Facebook to compare timelines. Someone has also compiled an Excel sheet full of data that is frequently updated as people receive information regarding the embassy and such.

 

Last I checked it could be 7 months from NOA2 to interview. That's just how badly the embassy is backlogged. We're in this together though!

I don’t. That is just the trend based on the data provided in the Excel sheet. It’s solely based on couples who have decided to share their timeline, information, and experience. Similar to VisaJourney. Right now I’m seeing a lot of March recipients of NOA2s having their case switch to “in transit” on their CEAC. So the embassy has requested their case from NVC essentially and they are ready to proceed with their next steps.

Case Status changed to "Ready" today!!! 🎉🎈✨

 

3 months ago I thought the likelihood of getting to this stage this year was extremely low (if not impossible). Brazil had a HUGE backlog and people were waiting at NVC for over a year. But all of a sudden, things started moving fast and here we are. Stay strong and positive everyone!!
