US Immigration from Canada

Hello, a friend of mine had their interview done in Montreal on October 26th, 2020.

They had their visa refused because of their police criminal background check under the privacy act. The one they handed to the officer at the consulate said Privacy act request type: Other. It was not expired, and actually completed on October 10th, 2020.

To my knowledge, this is actually the correct one.

Has anyone else in Canada struggled with this? How did you resolve it?

I am moving In two days. It is the same Adress just a different building and apartment number. How do I notify them? Will this be an issue?

Hi All,

I am a Canadian professional athlete who plays in the U.S. on a P1 visa. My season ended Oct 17 and got notice of my green card interview (been 2.5 years since the process began) on Oct 14 so I headed home to Canada right away. With the two week quarantine restriction it left me with 5 days to do my medical exam and get the results back before the interview. I get out of quarantine this Sunday, and there weren't offering medicals in Montreal on the Monday so I went with the earliest appointment on the Tuesday. This leaves me with the rest of Tuesday, Weds, Thurs, Friday and Monday morning. I am stressed I will not have it in time and I have been told that they will provide a letter to the embassy and I will have to give them them the results when I receive them which would delay the approval. Has anyone encountered this issue? If so, how long did it take for them to approve your medical after your interview and after you received the results from it.

Any insight would be much appreciated. After such a long time I don't want any delays

It has been 2 months since I submitted my file and no biometrics! From the timelines it looks like August was the last time they were scheduled. Does anyone else have any updates on this?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I have just mailed in the packet for our I-130 to start the CR-1,IR-1 process and would love to have this forum to track movement with other October people! This site has been such a great resource.

Good luck and good tracking!
