Thank you for the information, i am still seeing the visa status as ready instead of issued, even though it has been 2 days since the interview. Starting to get worried...

Hi all, My wife had her interview this morning. Appointment time was at 9:30am. We arrived at 9am but there was a line and they made us wait outside. Waited until 10:25am before they let my wife into the building while others were still waiting outside. Seemed like a particularly busy day with many cases involving family of 3-4 people. They were also trying to prioritize American citizenship and passport renewal services. Recommend you check weather before hand and bring warm clothes as you might have to wait outside for quite some time. Once inside, someone will check your passport to verify your appointment. Afterwards comes the security screen. You are not allowed to bring any backpack with you so suggest you bring all your documents in a folder when arriving. They will also ask you to turn off your phone and put it in a locker past security clearance. Once through security, you will go up to the first floor and wait in the waiting area until your number is called. You will then be called to the first counter where they will collect your original documents including birth certificates, marriage certificate and police certificate(s). The person at the first counter was friendly and just asked questions about who the petitioner was, petitioner's address and legal status in the US. Because my wife used to work in the US after her graduation, she got a Social Security Number (SSN) and they asked her for that information as well. She did not have the physical copy of the SSN but they were ok with her writing it down. My wife was then asked to have a seat and wait to be called to the second counter. The wait was fairly long as it was busy, ~30 min wait before she proceeded to the 2nd counter. There they had her take the oath promising she would answer everything truthfully. The second person at the counter was very chop-chop and business-like. He asked again who the petitioner was and whether my wife had read the pamphlet. She was not sure which pamphlet they were referring to so they gave her a pamphlet about domestic violence and told her to read it as it was an important document. He then proceeded by asking where and how we met, where I lived, if this was our first marriage, if my wife had committed any crime or if she had at any point in the past overstayed in the US. In between the questions, the officer was just busy typing away into the system. At the end, he said: "It looks like your visa has been approved" and gave my wife a piece of information with instructions about checking documents' status and passport delivery options. The officer also said they would contact if they have any further questions. My wife got out of the building at 11:50am. We immediately went onto https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/iv and https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx to check for the status but it seems it has yet to be updated yet. We checked again just now at 3:00pm and the status still shows the below: Based on people's past experience, how long after your interview does the status tracker reflect that your visa has been issued and when you will see the tracking number? Also how long should we expect to receive our passport back. My wife lives in Toronto and we select the premium delivery service. Thank you very much and good luck to those who are still waiting and scheduled to take the interview.

Hi, can you elaborate what you meant by incorrect police check? Is it the case that you did not have an updated police certificate or that you are required to provide police certificate from more than two countries?

Hi everyone, I read that people were uploading documents to NVC website ahead of the interview and was figuring out how to do this. In the notice email, I did not see any instructions for uploading additional documents so curious what additional docs should I submit online and where to submit them. I submitted all the original supporting documents via this https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx For Affidavit of Support and Financial Evidence I submitted: - FORM I-864EZ AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT - FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN OR TRANSCRIPT (2020 Federal Return) For Civil Documents I submitted: - Passport - Photographs - Marriage Certificate - Birth Certificate - Police Report Between when we applied and now the only new document that I have is the most recent federal tax return (year 2021 vs. the document last submitted being 2020 tax return). Is the 2021 tax return the only document I will need to submit on the site and this is done via selecting "Additional AOS Supporting Documentation"? Thank you all in advance for your guidance!

We received it via email.

Hi wife’s DQ date is Feb 9th, 2022.

Hi, my wife received her interview letter today as well. Interview Date: 11/30/22 DQ Date: 2/9/2022 Category: F2A Super duper happy and excited! Seems like the queue is moving along quickly so good luck everyone!

Good morning all, I stumbled upon this forum thread while doing research on the processing timeline for my wife. Just want to add some information related to our case so the admin/mod can add it to the tracker: DQ: 2/19/2022 Expedite Request Sent to NVC: 5/24/2022 NVC Response to Expedite Request: 5/31/2022 NVC Response Outcome: Reject expedition NVC Response Email: Thank you for your patience. We sent your request to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in CANADA. However, they cannot expedite this case. To be fair to all applicants, the Department of State schedules immigrant visa interviews in the order that the cases complete processing at the National Visa Center (NVC). Please note that only the U.S. Embassy or Consulate has the ability to approve or deny expedite requests. This case is now documentarily qualified. This means that the NVC has all of the documents we requested. Your application is now waiting for an interview appointment, where a consular officer will adjudicate it. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate tells NVC when they hold interviews, and we fill the appointment dates as the cases become qualified. We schedule appointments one month in advance, but we cannot predict when an interview will be scheduled. Due to the global Covid-19 outbreak, U.S. Embassies and Consulates have cancelled all routine immigration and nonimmigrant visa services. However, they are providing limited visa services as resources and local conditions allow. Your case will stay at NVC until an appointment is scheduled, and then we will send it to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. We will notify the applicant, petitioner and attorney (if applicable) when an appointment is scheduled. Important: The applicant should not make travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the U.S. Embassy or Consulate issues a visa. For the most up-to-date information about the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General's operating status, please visit their website at https://usembassy.gov.CANADA
