  1. hi, I dont know whats the standard, but here is our experience. My parents were DQed separately (NVC okayed one doc for mum but rejected it for dad so had to resubmit) I guess that put them on separate tracks as they both got different ILs. Then the Montreal Embassy, also approved my mum easily, yet asked my dad for original documents. I assume if the parents file stayed together at the NVC level, then so does everything else that follows. Now if your dad also happens to get an IL and your mum hasn't had her own interview yet, you can call the scheduling service to request an appointment together. We choose to go through with my mums as we did not have any clarity of my dads timeline. hope this helps.
  2. Include the original birth certificate.... my dad had his interview and they asked for my original certificate (im petitioner) even though I had submitted a notarized copy, caused an unnecessary delay....expect it to take 3 months....:(
  3. Update: So my dad finally had his interview after a successful expedite request. However he was issued a denial under section 221. They requested to see my original birth certificate which I have to mail to my parents and then they will mail via Canadian post to the embassy. although annoying that the notarized birth certificate was not sufficient for my dads case like my mums case, i expect that once they get the birth certificate and there are no issues with it it should lead to an approval. Does anyone have any experience with this?
  4. What are options for bringing cars? is there a thread dedicated to move related experiences and questions?
  5. long overdue update... Feb 18: Mums file was DQ April 27: Expedite requested from Montreal Embassy for dads file May 1: Mums Interview Letter received. May 10: Received email confirmation from embassy that interview has been scheduled for both applications with registration and medical instructions. May 11: email received from NVC they dads case will be expedited, pending review of all documents. June 1: Mums interview date June 6 : Mums passport delivered June 24: Dad file DQ June 27: expedite notice acknowledgement from NVC and file sent to embassy June 30: Dad Interview Letter received from embassy (which has incorrect information on it) Aug 11: Dad Interview date This case has been plagued by mistakes and errors, but as long as the visa gets approved in a timely manner this will be all ok in the end. 1) Mum and Dad cases were progressing simultaneously...NVC approved my mum yet requested additional documents for my dad (my tax info which i had already provided). I had to add a one line document saying that they had all relevant tax info. We were put back in the review line... I really wanted to make it so that my parents have theit interview etc on the same day so once my Mum got her IL I requested an expedite, which was approved. but that still did not affect the NVC document review. We still have to wait through the process..... which we learned the hard way. 2) In one of their responses they mentioned that BOTH have been scheduled for an interview (at this point my mum was DQ but dad was not). We got medicals done for both parents based on those notifications, Yet I was only able to register the interview for my mum, and not my dad. I emailed the embassy again yet got no clarifications so both of my parents went. My mum had her interview yet my dad was turned away. Fortunately mum was approved and got her passport back with in a week. This time round, they have sent confirmations for dad. 1) dads Interview Letter mentions my mums case number and information, yet we got it at dad's email address... 2) Another reminder to register for an interview notice mentions my mums case number yet my dads name. 3) The system would not let me register for my dads interview so I called their number and the representative told me he doesn't see any interview scheduled for my fathers case number and nor for my mums case number. His recommendation was to just register for the next available interview which was Sept the 6th. Since we had already made travel and hotel arrangements for the Aug 11, so I opted not to follow his advice and emailed the embassy yet again. I have not received a response from them yet. but yesterday I was able to register my dad for an aug 11 Interview. As long as the visa approval happens in a timely way and as smoothly as mums did....this will all be ok.
  6. 3 days in our case. i'll have details and dates in another post shortly.
  7. What happens when one is unable to register online (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/) for the assigned interview date and time allotted to you by the Montreal Embassy? 1) Do you just go there at the allotted time and hope for the best? 2) Register for another available date that seems to be available on the online registering system? This case was expedited so I know they have the documents and file on hand already as well as the medical. any advice? thnx
  8. congratulations!! How did you get the tracking info? email? text? both?
  9. I believe so. Good luck for your interview today, My mum has hers as well!
  10. so I got a conditional expedite. They will speed up scheduling of interview for dad but NVC still has to review docs first. my goal was to have both parents attend same interview date but that doesn't seem possible in this scenario. I understand that NVC has to double check and make sure everything is in order but I'm waiting for them to review one document for Dad. Mum was approved for the same docs but they needed more info from me for dad.. which as it turns out isn't applicable in this case. SO yes, I'm waiting for NVC to review a one line message saying ' I cant give you guys this, I have uploaded everything you need as the attached case was approved with the very same documents.' Annoying.
  11. It sounds like a conditional expedite. I am in the same boat for my dads application. We still have to wait for NVC to review and accept the uploaded documents before the embassy will schedule us for an interview. All the documents that you uploaded should say 'accepted' instead of 'submitted'. I don't understand how that is considered expedited, I guess it just eliminates the wait between being DQ and getting IL. As of now NVC is reviewing docs submitted on Feb 21... so 7 more weeks to go based on your mid April date before you hear back from NVC. Pray all documents get accepted and you do not get any follow up from them, as that essentially restarts the clock
  12. you are able to have paperwork delivered at your own address via premium delivery for a charge. standard is free and limited to set locations for pickup. I don't think quicker delivery is an option...
  13. yes. have you had luck with registering the interview? I keep getting a message to try later. :S
  14. so yesterday, after the whole day of waiting on the phone, finally connected with someone at NVC and they guided me how to draft the email etc. Keeping fingers crossed that things are expedited for dad. They seemed to think I had a valid reason to request the expedite. lets see!!
  15. That looks like you are really well prepared! Good luck!
