The year long wait from NVC to appointment is complete. Dec 7th at 9am with DQ Jan 8th.
 
However, my wife and I have decided to do something entirely different with our lives and are putting the move to the US on hold for the foreseeable future.
 
I'll update with how we postponed our appointment.
 
Congrats to everyone who waited so long and good luck!

OMG FINALLY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Just received an e-mail as well! Interview is scheduled for December 14th at 8:00am! We were DQ’d February 13!

Yes ! I recieved mine as well .( DQ on Feb 3) . Interview on Dec 11th at 815 am!!!

ILs are out there!  Received our interview dat of Dec 7 at 8:45am. (DQ Jan 8). Email came in 4 minutes ago (2:02 am EST). 

In case anyone is curious - My interview was Monday (Nov 9th) and I was approved, but my CEAC Status is still showing "Ready" and I haven't gotten a tracking number or anything yet. Not really sure if I should be worried, or if there is anything to do but wait... I know people who had interviews last Monday had status changes on Tuesday, and then received their passports back on Thursday. Maybe Remembrance Day caused things to be slower this week? 

Just wanted to let everyone know my interview was successful! I will post more info & a consulate review later - I'm going to get outside & enjoy the weather in Montreal before the sun sets  
 
Oh, my police certificate is the one that says "Other" and has no fingerprints - they accepted it, didn't comment on it at all. 

Off-topic, yet relevant to as a heart-warmer (this group already has our assignments; some merely await deployment):
 

Wooohooo!!! Finalllly we are all done! Good luck on your journey! Where you moving too 

(Ditto.)
 
Data points: switched to issued undergoing necessary ap about 30 minutes after the interview, switched to issued final processing sometime in the last 2 hours, and tracking email received 20 minutes ago. 

Tracking number received. 

Approved. 
 
same as dgf in terms of details. 
 
they did ask for for police certs from the countries (which were expired) and it was fine. 
canada police cert fine (privacy act-other)

Approved!!! Took about 45 minutes 
asked the same questions @dgf got asked!! Police certificate was accepted! 

Approved!

Got there at about 8:13 am for an 8:15 am appointment. There was one other person outside. A guard came out and was letting us in one at a time. They ask for your passport and then you put your stuff through an xray and walk through a metal detector just like at an airport but you get to leave your shoes on 😛 I forgot that my watch is an electronic device so I had to lock it up, heads up for people with smartwatches! 

The consulate is on the first floor. The security guard told me to go to window 4 or 5 but both were busy so the guard upstairs told me to take a seat (seats are already spaced out but she wanted me as far away from everyone else as possible haha). There were only 2 other people there. I sat down and a few moments later a lady knocked on window 7 and asked if I had been served and I said I hadn't so she took my passport. When one of the windows became available the guard told me to go to it but the person at the window told me to wait until I was called. Other people that came up when the windows were empty didn't have to wait to be called up. When I was called up (over a loud speaker so you can't miss it) I was asked for my original documents. I was asked for birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate, i864, 2019 tax transcript, 2019 W2, one passport photo, medical (I just said mine was sent electronically) and then they took my fingerprints. They did not want photocopies of anything, just the originals. I was not asked for either my IL or appointment confirmation, DS260 confirmation, husband's proof of citizenship, tax information for any prior years, the 5540, or any proof of relationship. He also confirmed my address, my husband's address (they had it slightly wrong because we'd got it wrong on our original i864 but I corrected him and he updated it in the computer, no problem), both of our phone numbers, and our lawyer's name. Then he gave me the domestic violence pamphlet and told me to wait to be called again. I meant to ask if I could switch to having my SSN automatically sent to me but I just realized I completely forgot to ask haha.
 
Just a note: When I handed over my police certificate the guy took out a post it note and I was worried but all he wrote on it is that it needed to be scanned (he proceeded to do this for any updated documents I had too). I have the police certificate that says "Other (Provide Details)" and this was accepted. 
 
I went to sit down and read over the pamphlet. It was 8:40 am when I sat down and I think I was called up again around 8:50-8:55 am. By that time there were 8 of us in the waiting room. The guy at the window had me swear an oath and then took my fingerprints again. I was so nervous that most of the interview is already lost in the abyss but from what I remember I was asked my petitioners name, how we were related, if this was both of our first marriages, if we had kids, how we met, how long after we met did my husband go back to the US, when we got married, who was at our wedding, the longest I'd been in the US, what my husband's job is, what his job entails, and what the pamphlet they give you is about. Then he reached over to the board next to him with all the papers and reached for a white one (I was panicking because I know the 221g can be white) and then he said your visa is approved here's your welcome letter! He said I should receive it in 7-10 days and gave my originals back. I went back downstairs and got my watch and was out of the consulate at 9:03 am. 
 
Will post any more details if they come to me!

I feel this. At a recently border crossing the officer ask, in what felt like a mean spirited tone, if we were married why didn’t we live together.  I wanted the scream, but answered calmly that we applied for a visa two years ago and are still waiting.

OMG my husband feels this so strongly since he's a NEXUS card holder too! LOL 

It's been frustrating with the lack of transparency/updates, especially during COVID.
 
It's even more frustrating having a NEXUS and knowing the US government already has my fingerprints, police record, etc. and all the consulate really needs is a medical exam.
