US Immigration from Canada

Hi Everyone -

I hope you're all healthy and well. We finally received our interview (1 month from now, July 17) in Montreal. My parents need to travel from BC (West Coast) to Montreal. I did my interview when I immigrated almost 10 years ago in my home city so I did not have to worry about this. I also had to do AOS due to K1 Visa... as a IR5, they don't have a conditional visa. So, I'm unsure if I should have them fly back same day or if we need to wait for passport etc. Their interview is right at the start of day so I'm sure they are the first or second appointment of the day.

Can they fly home in the evening of July 17 or should we book a few additional days?

Many thanks!

Just got this email from the consulate in Montr al. Has any been through a similar experience?

interview: March 17.2021

status changed from REFUSED to READY on April 27

Email to say AP is complete: May 17

just wondering if anyone has insight/a time line of a similar experience! My case has also not been updated past May 3 so I don t understand how they just finished it without opening it.

Starting this thread for DV2022 applicants with Montreal as the visa office to stay connected. Please also consider joining whatsapp group:

So I am a US citizen. I ve petitioned for my mom and she will be here soon under a green card.

I want to petition for my sister as well, but would it be better if my permanent resident mom does it or me?

I think the timeline for parents petitioning kids is less vs siblings petitioning for each other?

thanks!

We are on our way to Montreal! Our interview is Monday, tomorrow which we waited 2 years for!! We turned away from the Quebec border and sent back to Ontario! They would NOT let us through even with paperwork and hotel reservation! We were told to come back day of interview!!! This will take 2 hours and that is not including if we get stopped again for driving with Ontario plates!! We have to leave about 4:30 AM!!!! Has anyone else had this issue?? What did you do... what can we do? Please respond ASAP.

Thank you for any help,

April
