We got almost daily updates in the first two weeks after AP, then its radio silence until we contacted our Congressman. The case was updated after Congressman contacted NVC (received a generic response). It's been 45 days since our last update.

Are you also waiting at Montreal consulate? It’s been 3 weeks and it’s updating almost everyday. Just trying to figure out if it signifies anything.

I see that you have been waiting since October 2022. Have you considered filing WOM?

Hi @SGtoMurica  yes u are right I have been waiting since October 2022. They issued my visa in March 2023 and after they refused again and sent me Ds 5535 

I did not file WOM

Hey guys. I just wanted to post our timeline here in case anyone is interested. 
 

* Application to USCIS - April 19 2021

* USCIS approved, case transferred to NVC - April 29 2022

* NVC DQed - Oct 7 2022

* Interview date - Feb 3 2023

* Put in AP same day

* DS 5535 received 3 days later and form sent in Feb 9

* Writ filed May 2 2023

* Last defendant served May 11 - July 10 answer due 

* June 6 request to send passport

- arrived June 12

* Issued - June 21

* Documents received - June 23

 

Couple of notes:

 

Hacking law - who said criteria for filing more focused on date USCIS approved rather than when placed in admin processing. As long as 12 months from USCIS approval they seemed to think it was fine to file a writ. Part of the reason we went with them so we could file sooner.

 

Didn’t realize we couldn’t import our cars because they don’t have a tire pressure monitoring system. Something to look forward to.

 

Husband has received his social but still waiting on green card. Having some issues with drivers license because even though he’s a permanent resident now apparently when the lady looked him up it says his i94 expires in November so she issued his DL with expiry in Nov too. 
 

Other than that I’m glad it’s all over. Such an unfair process for everyone going through this. Good luck to anyone still dealing with AP!! Hope you guys get some good news soon!

Hi! May I ask from what country your husband is from? I filed the WOM too after 90days

Which lawyers did you go with? We are approaching 90 days in 1 week.

Has anyone here tried to AOS while their Consular Processing is undergoing AP, rather than filing WOM?

Hi all, our case is recently put on administrative processing (Montreal Consulate) and we were asked in the interview to fill out an online form (no e-mail just Microsoft forms) and submit some info about travel history, etc. Are we suppose to receive a confirmation e-mail that they have received the information they are looking for? should I send a follow-up e-mail?

Just did an intake with Goldstein and Hacking Law and both phone calls were with folks who can barely speak English... Not the best look for a law firm.
