Afternoon, all... I have some travel coming up and want to plan for my eventual interview in Montreal... any thoughts on an interview date for a December 16, 2020 "documentarily qualified" case? F1 visa, family-based. It's been over 60 days since I'm "qualified".

Hi! 
 

It took my mother (IR-5 visa) close to 4 months to get an interview. 07/15/19 DQ and interview day was on 12/09/19. We were notified of the interview date on 11/13/19.

Thanks everyone  I have reserved my panic attack for May as that will be well over the 60 days but most importantly when my mother’s medical exam results expire lol. 
 

I have only read a couple of cases that took over two years but yes, for the most part I know it takes a few months. I will post when we are out of AP for others who may be in the same situation. 

My mom received the dreaded 221(g) form at her interview on 12/09/19.

They didn’t request additional documents but needed to verify themselves that mother has been outside of the United States for 10 years. She had a 10 year ban for residing in the states illegally. 
 

on 12/23/19 they sent her passport back upon request for holiday travel. They sent it back immediately which was nice. Although, they did tell me that everything was on hold until they got the passport back. They got it back on 01/30/20. I know that this will make ap longer for her. 
 

I've read horror stories of people in AP for years. The website says it takes 60 days. Anyone else have any experience in AP?

Good Morning everyone!

My mom received her interview letter this morning via e-mail. I know most of you have a different visa type but hopefully this information can still help. Good luck to everyone!

Visa type: IR-5 Interview

 DQ: 07/15/19

Received interview letter e-mail: 11/13/19 at 5:00am

Interview: 12/09/19 at 7:30 am

I mean I have collected all the i-864 and other documents from the petitioner. My question is if I can upload on petitioners behalf?
 

I don't believe there should be a problem. I am the Petitioner for my mother's visa and I uploaded all of the documents for both of us. I checked with my lawyer before I did this and she said it didn't matter and I could do that. Everything got approved no problem.

Hi!

Just wanted to give some info for others who are in the IR-5 category. My mom is a Mexican National living in Canada on a permanent resident visa who is seeking a Permanent resident visa (green card) for the US. Being that I am a US citizen, I am sponsoring her green card application to the US. Being that she lives in Canada, Montreal would be her interview location.

We submitted documentation on 04/29/19. We got a rejection on 05/17/19 because we had the wrong Police Certificate from Canada along with items not being the correct orientation. We submitted again on 06/14/19. Today, 07/15/19 we received CC. We are just waiting for the interview date like many others on here. 

Since most of you here are in the FP category, I wonder if the delay is for FP category only. Any other IR-5 category applicants here? If so, how long have you been waiting for an interview?

Thank you everyone for your help and good luck!

Hi there, 

 

I simply googled up RCMP police check services and found one instantly.  

 

He he took my fingerprints, I signed the application, paid him about $20 and had the correct check within the week.  

 

If she’s Mexican, won’t she need one from there also?  The family based immigration requires a police check from every country where the applicant lived. 

Hi there!

Yea we got her Mexican police certificate and didn't have an issue. I was surprised the Canadian one got kicked back. It also cost us about 200 dollars...so there is definitely something wrong. Did yours look anything like the one in this image? Thank you so much for your help by the way!

Hoping someone might have so tips about getting your police certificate from Canada.

My mother is a Mexican national living in Edmonton, Alberta. We are attempting to get her U.S. green card so she can come live with me in the states. Our interview location is in Montreal.

A police certificate from Canada has been requested by NVC. It was kicked back last week because we got the wrong one. My mom tried to request the police certificate under the Privacy act as stated on the travel.state.gov website. She went to the local RCMP  they told her (scolded) that she wasn't allowed to do that and then she said that she needed it for immigration to the U.S. Obviously, by doing this they give her the wrong police certificate.  Did anyone else have trouble or do you have any advice on obtaining a police certificate under the Privacy Act?

Hello everyone!

I'm so glad I found this forum. I see now that NVC rejections are common. I'm worried mine might get rejected. I wanted to know if anyone else had a few documents that needed to be translated.

I am the petitioner and my Mom is the applicant. My mom's birth certificate was translated because NVC asked for it under Civil Documents. They did not ask/specify that the police certificate from Mexico nor her Mexican passport needed to be translated. I submitted all of the documents including the untranslated police certificate and passport from Mexico.  I will have them translated before we get to the interview in Montreal. 

I submitted documents to NVC on 04/26/19.  I am bummed to hear that they don't give you the interview date when they let you know that your application is complete. If I understand correctly, they typically e-mail you to you let you know that your application is complete about 3-4 weeks after you submit. Then, 3-4 weeks after that they send you an e-mail with an interview date.
