None,it was the same day the congressperson contacted them.

With everyone's positive feedback about contacting their congressperson, I also reached out to mine earlier this week. They asked us to fill out a basic information form so they could represent our case. Today, we received the long-awaited email requesting medical records, passport, and photos. Interview Date: July 2023

Yes, I received one on Sept 18th.

My DS-260 was open the entire time i beleive. I did make changes to it earlier this year as I had to renew my passport so resubmitted with new number and expire date.

Interview July 21st,2023 still nothing on our end either.

Can I ask where are you updating phone number? I need to do it as well.

Follow up with the same email you originally sent. They responded within 2 hours(to my follow up email) saying they have returned the passport, and followed by the tracking number from courier agency. Received my passport day after this. Clearly they ignored my request the first time...

If your decision is to have your passport returned without an immigrant visa at this time, please email us using this email address(Montreal-IV-DV@state.gov) with “Passport Return – YOURCASENUMBER” in the subject line. The passport will then be returned to you by courier services to a Canada Post office of your choice. In order to select a Canada Post office location and to track the return of your passport please contact the Official U.S. Department of State Visa Appointment Service using the contact details here https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-CA/iv/information/contact_us NOTE: Your passport will be mailed out only after we receive your confirmation that you want it returned without the immigrant visa I received in 3 days after i sent them email, also depends where you requested to have it returned. In my case i paid for delivery at my home, as i dont live near major city.

I requested my passport back after waiting 4 months with no change in my status..Unfortunately i do need my passport for work. No issues travelling(via Road and Flight) to USA and back with Nexus only. Hoping to see any updates to re-send my passport again, but not holding my breath for it.
