Is there another status between the first and second ready? How do you know you have the second ready? Can you tell by looking at the case last updated date below? I received my first ready today or at least I think it was my first ready. 

Anyone out there who's case has been shipped to the Montreal Embassy this month (January) and waiting for that first status change to ready? 

This stage is definitely the hardest. The wait for NOA2 was no where near as tough and now I just want it over with. Our case arrived at the Embassy on Friday (Jan 25th) so I expect to accomplish very little at work this week other than constant refreshing of the CEAC site for updates. 🤦‍♂️

Medical booked. 

I didn't think you could book your medical until after it arrived at the Embassy or after P3 was sent in?

Me too - more or less.

Now what?

You can go ahead and complete the DS-160 application if you haven’t already done so. 
 

I’m not sure when the next batch of cases will be sent to the embassies but from what I understand I think possibly on Jan 21st. Feel free anyone to correct me if I’m wrong.

I'm sure this can be found somewhere else but I've been digging for a while and can't find the answer. How long did it take from the time your application was approved by USCIS until the NVC received your application and how did they notify you? 

We got our NOA2 on Dec 16th. It arrived at the NVC on Jan 2nd and case number was assigned today, Jan 10th. Considering the holidays in between getting the NOA2 to receiving our case # seemed pretty quick.

NOA2 on Dec 16th. Case was received at the NVC on Jan 2nd and case # was assigned today! 😁

Got our NOA2 yesterday! 
 

NOA1 - Sept 11

NOA2 - Dec  17
