Hi all. I have received my passport with my visa and my packet for the customs agent. I have paid the $165.00 immigrant fee(Green card fee) It still shows pending in my bank account, My question is...Can I cross into the US on my Spousal visa if the Green Card fee is still pending?? or will they turn me away???

Haven't been on for awhile, working overtime keeping busy trying to make time fly...LOL.

I'm HERE!!!!!!!!! Case Complete today

They answered the phone AFTER midnight, just to tell me the Supervisor review found my Police Certificate (I won't bother crying about the $48 I spent sending them another one last week... because I'm WAY TOO HAPPY right now )

Oh what a feelin'!

Congrats!!!

Guess who got the visa! (that's my happy face btw)

AWESOME!! CONGRATS

Interview was yesterday, visa approved! CEAC status today is showing ISSUED

FABULOUS!! CONGRATS.

My case was shipped to Montreal on Friday and now case status is READY!! Woohoo...Montreal has it, just patiently waiting the 35 days till my interview. Our 2 year wedding anniversary was Monday, and the hubby is coming to visit me this weekend. Things are starting to look up.

For Cr1 you simply pick get a new account and sign up for "courier services only" They won't have your interview on there.

And you HAVE to have the loomis print out to get into your montreal interview.

it'll look like this:

Thanks NLR that's what I printed out. The only thing that I don't like is the fact that I also have to travel 2.5 hours to pick up my passport. Too many road trips in one month LOL. Toronto for medical(5 hours one way), montreal for interview(10 hours one way), north bay for passport(2.5 hours one way). Good thing I like to drive.

Can those doing IR1/CR1 get an earlier interview? If so how would one go about doing this? Thanks in advance

I've signed up for Loomis to deliver my passport after the interview. When I sign in to this sight https://usvisa-info.com/en-ca/selfservice/login when my account summary comes up it says that I have not scheduled an appointment. Am I supposed to? I already have my interview appointment for June 25 in Montreal that NVC scheduled for me.

Oh yes b'se you are not in K-1 but thru IR-1/CR1. You can register for loomis anytime before your interview date.

Chk https://usvisa-info.com/en-ca/selfservice/us_immigrant_visas

Ya I'm IR1/CR1. Great thanks

I took my medicals in Toronto ( Dr Ian Zatzman). It took about 10 calendar days to receive my medicals (paid $15 for courier within Canada). very prompt service thou.

When you schedule your interview appointment, you will choose a loomis branch to receive your passport with Visa. apart from that you don't need to do anything with loomis. They will contact you when they receive your passport.

Inside the consulate you would need between 1-2 hours to finish all the formalities. I went by Via rail from Toronto & stayed in Travelodge. stay & commute together cost ~250/- including taxes. it gave me peace of mind! definitely worth the money.

Good Luck for your interview

When you schedule your interview appointment???? NVC schedules the interview appointments...at least they just scheduled mine yesterday

there's a parking lot on corner "place Philips" and "cathcart st". it's a 2 minute walk to the consulate.

Thank you very much.

Does anybody know how long it takes Montreal to return Passport after interview. Hubby is coming here to Canada to help me move and he will need to book the time off soon. Need to get a rough estimate of what kind of time frame we are looking at to schedule his time off. Thnks

Finally got our interview date. June 23rd!

Congratulations

We got ours too...June 10!!!

Congrats

Yay! Got the email today and interview is set for June 17th! I couldn't be happier.

Awesome. Congrats

Checking-in!!!!

Got my case complete this afternoon!

I asked the lady who broke the news to me if they were still scheduling for June and she said yes!

So, I hope I made the cut and will get a June interview after all!!!!!

Congrats again. Hoping you make the cut for a June interview

Really?! Another Boston person?? Awesome!

I'm heading that way too. South of Boston though. Fall River.

Not sure how to say this

CASE COMPLETE AS OF THIS AFTERNOON

I so just did a happy dance for you. Congratulations

Case completed today Thank God.

Just called NVC; hold time 45 minutes - heard the good news and she told me that the next step is the schedule of interview.

Awesome news. Congratulations.

throwing a little party for myself because....

June 10 is the day!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone at VJ for keeping me sane..I'm so happy and thankful I could scream

Yeah congrats

I have my interview scheduled for June 25th. I was just curious about the area around the consulate. I will be driving,there and back the same day(10 hour drive each way) so am wondering if there is any parking available?? And is it very hard to get to?? I've driven through and in Quebec a few times and I absolutely dread driving in Quebec. Also when do when sign up for loomis and typically how long does it take for medicals to be available for pick up?? How long will it take if I have them send the medical to me?? Was thinking of having medical done in Toronto(5 hour drive) a few weeks before my interview and just have them send me the results. Can't afford to stay in Quebec for a week.

CONGRATULATIONS

CONGRATULATIONS

Thank you. I see they are getting close to reviewing your packages. Hope you get case complete soon. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

Looks like reports of no more June interviews were greatly exaggerated....

CONGRATULATIONS FROM THE IMMIGRATION MYSTERY MACHINE

Thank you. Love it. This whole immigration process, USCIS and NVC sure are a mystery

WOW congratulations what a lovely thing to see. Much luck and I pray a smooth interview.

Thank you.

Your I-130 was adjudicated in 10 days? Cool!

Congratulations!!

Thank you

Case complete as of today!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..............................

12th JUNE it is......................... so happyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....................

Just called NVC, was on hold for 45 mins...but it was worth it... got the news.. interview scheduled......less than a month...omg.......

Congrats!! Feels awesome doesn't it.

Congratulations....

It feels good to have an interview date isn't it? I can relate to your joy

Thank you so much!! And yes it feels GREAT!! I don't feel like my life is on hold anymore. I can actually start making tentative plans. Few, feels like a million pounds has been lifted.

Congratulations. I have updated you on the spreadsheet.

Thank you, and thank you

YAY!! I'm sooo jealous

You're almost there. On the home stretch now. Hopefully they will get this pesky police cert thing figured out and give you case complete. Rootin for you. Good luck.

CONGRATULATIONS , I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! :joy:

Thanks so much.

CONGRATS !

Thank you so much

Did u always get an auto reply? Cus im not getting them

No I didn't. I was told by several different operators at NVC that they don't always send out auto reply's. As long as the email didn't get bounced back to you, then NVC likely did receive. Atleast that's what they told me. I didn't receive auto replies and they still received my emails

Just realized your interview is Monday. Woot woot!! Exciting!!!

Congrats!!!!!!

Does anyone know if NVC is the one schedules the interview date or does all our paperwork have to be sent to the embassy and then they're the ones who schedule it?

Just wondering...

Thank you! NVC schedules the interviews. And then your paperwork is forwarded to the consulate

Awww hooray congratulations!!!!! ??????

Thank you

Doing a happy dance!!! Interview scheduled today!!! JUNE 25th!!!

They should call it the ds-OMFG instead

This made me laugh. Thanks I needed that.

I got this email from my lawyer and I am so upset (I am crying right now) I just want to confirm with you guys. Have you had any experience with this kind of answer from NVC.

I spoke with the NVC and they confirmed that they do not have your request to register for electronic filing in their system and that they do not have the affidavit of support in their system either. Soky’s request yesterday was submitted using her email address, but the original contact we received from the NVC came to my email address and both your email addresses, so it is possible that they might not recognize it coming from her email. So I will be sending them another request from my email address. The person I spoke with confirmed that making more than one request should not be a problem.

We then need to wait for them to register us based on either Soky’s email or my email. Then we can resend the Affidavit of Support.

Please Help! if this is true we are going to be so behind.....

I hope you are right! I am following your timeline...thanks

It takes NVC roughly a month to receive emails. So end of this week beginning of next week you should hear something from them. I was freaking out too, but it all worked out and they received all my emails as I now have case complete. Keep your chin up, it will all work out.

I've been feeling sorry watching others go through this sort of crud... and now here I am. Thanks for your madness

Well, yours is probably the 'right' one! Why doesn't mine say that title, nor does it specifically state RCMP, ugh! Yet when I google RCMP district offices in Calgary, the one I went to is listed there.

I even paid $40 for this and waited several weeks for it to arrive in the mail! How did your process go and where did you get yours? Any other Canadians able to help me figure out if what I got was insufficient somehow?

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864instr.pdf as per USCIS http://www.uscis.gov/i-864

Good luck!

Well as I figured out, I do have the right information/document. But as I was slipping my photocopy back into the folder, I realized that there is a second page that I didn't include because it didn't appear to be important. Now I'm not so sure as the NVC rep was asking me if my copy stated anything clearly about searching the Canadian Police Information Center - which it did not, it mentioned the Repository.

Then I noticed this second page has 3 sections titled:

What is a Police Information Check? (short description)

What Systems are searched for PIC's (Here it states what she was asking for on the phone)

Police information Check Disclosures (a list of records/charges/reports that might be mentioned on the document)

Well silly me didn't think this would have any importance to NVC as it looked like an information page for the recipient/me, whoopsie

Or at least now I'm believing this is what has caused the questions at NVC's end.... and I'm on hold to confirm/deny this with a rep

NOOOOOO My Call just got 'lost' at 17 minutes in!! No music, just dropped somehow, and now it's busy lol!! I woke up at 4:54 my time to log in and use google voice at the earliest moments while the call center was still 'closed' and now I can't help but shake my head and wonder.

Well, guess I'm up now! Going to make coffee and come back to sit on hold.

I live in Ontario, and my police cert seems a lot like yours, Mine was only one page though. I didn't to go RCMP or OPP, I had to go to my local police department. I paid $36 for min and had it the next day. Mine was approved no problem. Hope you get this figured out. Good luck
