    Hi All, I had my interview today and got approved. As everyone suggested: Uploading documents to CEAC portal prior to your interview - highly recommended. Going more than 15 minutes to your appointment - NOT recommended (there was crazy wind and snow today and they still didn’t let anyone in) No personal items - Only small locker for phones and wallet My appointment was at 7:45 AM and i went there at 7:30 and they let me in. After 20-30 minutes wait, i was called in and asked only for following documents: - birth certificate - marriage certificate - police clearance - passport - passport size photo ( 2 X 2 ) And took my fingerprints. After that i was told to wait for the main interview. The officer i had was really friendly and asked following questions: Who’s sponsoring you? Where does my wife lives? What does she do for living? What is my relationship with my joint sponsor? At the end she told me that she is approving my file and I will receive my passport in two weeks. Overall much easier experience than what i was prepared for. Always good to be prepared but my impression is that it is more of a verification and 2nd level check for your documentation than an actual interview. Thanks everyone who helped me get prepared.

    @ash_1337Congratulations 🎉 Can you please share your document check list? I have my interview scheduled on 4th Dec. My wife's income is not sufficient, so I have 1 joint sponsor and his spouse in I-864 so does that mean I have to fill 3 forms again and have it signed by my wife and other two joint sponsors? I have following changes: - I have become Canadian Citizen and gave up my Indian citizenship. - My Canadian address has been changed - my wife’s address has also changed. - she also has an U.S. passport. - My wife and I both have changed our Jobs as well. Looking at what you said in your post, do I have to fill my DS-260 also due to above changes? I was thinking of uploading my Canadian and her US passport on ceac portal. And update our addresses during the interview.

    Yes, I have made couple in past month. One for changing the category from F2A to IR1 and the second one is to just check on the process and how long it will take.
  13. dhruvroom
    So In that case, you are suggesting that I should be expecting an interview from Montreal Embassy in next round? I do have a DQ email from Oct 3rd 2022 so I think it aligns with what you said.

    Folks, I was originally DQ'd on 3rd October 2021 but then recently I updated my wife's naturalization certificate on CEAC portal and also sent a public inquiry stating that she has become the US Citizen with document attached. NVC has replied back in just a week that they have updated my file from F2A to IR1 on 25th September 2023, I have confirmed that on CEAC portal it now shows IR1 However under my wife's document section on portal the uploaded naturalization certificate still shows "Submitted" where as other documents are showing as "Accepted". Does that mean my new DQ date is now 25th September 2023? and it will take 4-5 months time for me to receive the interview letter?

    Thanks for your response! I think what you said does makes sense however I have couple of specific questions regarding that: 1. Upload the new Canadian passport to the ceac portal. Also upload your citizenship certificate. While uploading, should I select document type - OTHER OR PASSPORT BIOGRAPHIC PAGE? the reason why I am asking is because I already have uploaded my Indian passport using PASSPORT BIOGRAPHIC PAGE when I applied. 2. Take both your Canadian and Indian passport to the doctor for medical. Inform the doctor that your Canadian passport is the one you will be using going forward. Noted 3. Take an amended DS-260 with your nationality updated as Canadian, and your new Canadian passport number. Highlight the changes and show it to the CO during your interview. By amend you mean I should update the current DS-260(which I submitted earlier) and highlight the amended part, print it and bring it with me. Correct?

    Apologies if I am appearing a little dumb here. I read the thread, Great Information! Thanks @mam521 for sharing. My situation is a bit premature than what is being discussed and I am wondering if folks have some guidance for my situation. Recently became Canadian citizen (was Indian citizen until last week). Same story, once I become Canadian citizen I can not retain my Indian passport as India doesn't allow dual citizenship. I have an IR1 application in progress at MTL Embassy and I am expecting an interview letter in next 30 days. My question is, what would be the best way for me to notify the MTL Embassy/USCIS about this? So far the plan is to just take the Canadian passport with me to the interview LOL. @Maverick_TO @Kai G.

    Also if the more experienced folks have any advise for me on following situation, I would greatly appreciate. @mam521 @llcoolwil @Leo The Great @NorthnerSouth98 I have recently become Canadian citizen so I am trying to figure out how to notify MTL Embassy about that. My previous citizenship was Indian which I can not retain once I accept other So basically I had an Indian passport when I applied but now that changed to Canadian one.

    I am expecting my interview letter in the next round as well. My DQ date is on Oct 5th 2022 and my wife has recently became a US citizen so we had our file category changed from F2A to IR1 (which is already reflecting on CEAC Portal). Hoping for best!
