Fiasco with travel and sending passports back to Montréal consulate, TN visa

[Needsomeadvice00 0]

Hi, I was wondering about any help I could get with my situation. My family and I live on a TN visa in the US and had our interview in Montréal 12/13, we had to return to the states and did not give the officer our passports then and there. We were told we were approved and were told to mail them back instead, and the passports were delivered 12/22. My family and I have been here in Canada since 12/19 and need to go back, but haven’t gotten any updates other than on 12/30 where the status still said refused. We emailed on 12/24 and got a response yesterday and on 12/29 (day before the emailing update). I’m desperate to go back to the states but I can’t seem to figure out anything to do, any help?

I thought it was normal to get a TN at the PoE?

It could be but we are changing visas from tn to green card now.

What visa category did you recently interview for?  What do you mean you are changing from TN to GC?

Well I currently live in the us on a TN visa, but we interviewed for a green card F-4 I think, and can’t go back till we get our green card because they have cancelled our TN visa, and it’s been over 3 weeks since I’ve been home.

Visa is not approved until the CEAC status said “issued.”

That’s a family preference visa.   So a family member petitioned you?

Yes, but is there anything I can do to try expediting the process? We don’t live in Canada and have been at a family friend’s house for the past three weeks.
