I am a canadian citizen, living in canada for 20 years, originally born in egypt. I had my immigrant visa interview for CR1 visa back in October 2022 at US consulate in Montreal. I was given 221g and DS5535 same day. Officer kept my passport and asked for my resume. 
I work as an engineer.

DS5535 and resume had been sent next day of the interview. It has been now 3 month (including weekends and holidays) and status showing refused however the date has changed 4 times

Any idea how long the process will take to complete and when to expect hearing back from the embassy?

I have read that medical is good for 2 years now, can anyone confirm.

Thanks

There is an existing megathread about this:

 

 

Medical is good only for 6 months from date of medical.


Police certificate is good for two years, but they often ask for another one.

 

DS5535 at Montreal is usually 6+ months.

Medicals are good for 6 months.
