    IR-1/CR-1 Montreal DQ'd private message group goes public part 3

    in Canada

    Posted

    We are IR5 (Parents of US Citizen) Category. Our visa was approved and we are in the US right now. This group really helps everyone. Just want to post some points based on our interview experience.

    1. Police certificate is valid for 2 years now
    2. Get a Police certificate for any other country if you lived 6 months there anytime
    3. Upload recent tax returns etc.. It saves your time and their time
    4. Got passport back in a week Sep 27th (Pick up at Montreal)
    5. Don't forget to pay immigrant fee after passport received.  https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee/
     
    Thank you @Hawk Riders for this group. Please add SSN and Green card timelines also in the excel. It avoids duplicate posts about it.

    They applied for new certificate even before their interview since old one was expiring and it took 3 weeks. We did take old and nee I-865 but were not asked for it. The only questions they were asked were my position and where I live . They look at all originals for  birth certificates and their marriage certificate and updated tax info which we had uploaded before hand. Did you get an interview date yet ?

    Thanks for the details. We are still waiting for the interview date.  Did you submitted old police certificate or new one because our police certificate expired last month (1 year).

    Thank you for your help. My parents interview went well today and the status was updated to issued. Have your parents crossed over to US now ? What did you do with respect to health insurance ?

    Congratulations!!  Just curious to ask What kind of questions were they asked ?  Do we need to bring I-864 original or copy.

    Did you get new police certificate? How long it takes

    Excuse my silly question … I have always thought when people say DQ it means the date NVC accepts documents. It seems they are different . How do I look up my DQ?

    Most of the people acceptance and DQ dates are same so that's why everyone always talk about DQ.

    Edit: Completion and DQ dates

    Good question :)  Most of the people acceptance and DQ dates are same so that's why everyone always talk about DQ. NVC changes status from submitted to accepted and send DQ email.

    Some people only get accepted email and then NVC requests any updated docs from them. NVC will send DQ email only after review that updated docs. This is my research analysis only :)   I heard that some people got interviews with acceptance status only (without DQ email).

    I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.  My parents received their interview day for June 17.  We are June 2019 filers.    

     

    We are working through a to-do list.  Does anyone know how long they need to stay after the interview or if we could schedule a same day flight back?  They are interviewing first thing in the AM. 

     

    Thank you 

     

    Wow! Congrats!! Definitely surprise...enjoy happy moments :)  It is good both parents got same date and time... I think they schedule based on NVC acceptance date instead of DQ. is your mom acceptance date Jan/Feb 2020

    The questions were all straightforward and simple things (lasted about 10 minutes) that anyone who has regular contact with their children would know (details about their lives, what, where, when, etc.), etc., but I would not use my example as an indication of anything. We went in overly prepared being able to demonstrate a relationship through the years and with literally hundreds of pages of docs between financials, tax returns, photos, travel history, assets, etc. Just because 98% of these were not required does not mean that they may not be required for someone else. I feel like we overprepared by a 1000%. Having said this, we felt moderately confident going in that we could address with evidence nearly anything asked. If anything, I would concentrate primarily on the financials and the relationship between parent and child.

    Thank you for the information.

    Presumably it went well. I'm not sure if everyone at the consulate was in a good mood or what but everyone (except security) was cordial.

    Please post your interview experience like what questions they asked etc..It help us.
