Yeah, no sings of EB2 IL's in May

[a7medfx 3]

Was there any IL sent out in May at all?

Hi, for Eb2 I just realize that they are working with April 2024:

However, in the Montreal webpage (as of may 1) they were working May 2024.

Not only that, the scheduling tool says Montreal's IR is still Dec 2024, and Family is still Aug 2024, this is too far behind what is in their website...

Tool is still in April 2024

• As of June 3, 2025, most Immediate Relative and fiancé(e) visa interviews in Montreal are being scheduled for cases that became documentarily complete in January 2025. Most Family Preference cases with available visa numbers were documentarily complete in May 2025. Most Employment cases were documentarily complete in May 2024.

Does anyone know if transferring consulate will reset DQ date? We have been considering transfer the case to different country(that I have citizenship), which might be faster. But we are worrying it will reset DQ date, especially we have been waiting for months, we don't want to lose the progress and wait all over again...

Exactly …. Here they say May 2024 and in the tool April 2024 for Employment cases.

I changed my consulate and it did not reset DQ. In rare cases if DQ gets reset, you can email the consulate/NVC and explain that you only changed the consulate. That should resolve the problem then.

It's all very stressful. It feels like no IL is happening since March, but they say it does, or perhaps we just don't have the people here who did get IL... 😨

That's nonsense. Just fill in the form again to report the card not being received. You don't need to file I-90 until you've heard back, I-90 processing times are over 2.5 years now so if it's a simple fix then there's no point in doing that. 

Updates: Things become ridiculous!!!😭

 

I sent the second e-request to USCIS on June 2, 2025, and I just got feedback from USCIS today. USCIS said they did not receive my Immigrant Visa (IV) Packet!!!!!! They ask me to schedule an appointment with local Field Office, then submit all documents again to reconstruct my IV Packet...

 

Here is the email:

 

A search of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicates that USCIS has not received your Department of State (DOS) issued Immigrant Visa (IV) Packet, which should have been submitted by the Port of Entry (POE) when you entered the United States. USCIS requires a completed IV Packet to process your Permanent Resident Card (PRC).

If you are in possession of your IV Packet, please mail the complete IV Packet to the following address:

USCIS
Attn: IV
2501 S State Highway 121 Business
Suite 400
Lewisville, TX 75067

If you are not in possession of your IV Packet, you will need to schedule an appointment with your local Field Office by visiting the USCIS webpage at my.uscis.gov/en/appointment/v2. Once scheduled, you will receive confirmation of your appointment date and time as well as any other instructions for your appointment.

You will need to take the following to your Field Office appointment:

1. A copy of this letter
2. Proof of identity (This would be a passport or national photo identification issued by your country, driver’s license, military photo identification or a state-issued photo identification)
3. A copy of your immigrant visa documentation, which would include all evidence you submitted to USCIS related to the underlying petition, and the documents that you submitted to the Department of State. This would generally include:
a. A copy of the underlying petition (I-130, I-140, etc.) with original signature and any supporting documentation submitted with the petition.
b. A copy of your birth certificate with translation, if applicable.
c. Derivatives’ supporting civil documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree, etc.) demonstrating the relationship to the principal beneficiary/immigrant, if applicable.

Your local Field Office will reconstruct the IV Packet. If you have not received a response from USCIS within 90 days of your appointment, please notify us using the contact information below.

 

My IV package was submitted when I crossed the border. I don't understand why USCIS hasn't received it. Well, there's nothing I can do except follow the instructions. I really don’t know if another 90 days or more of waiting lies ahead...
