My visa got approved and issued today! My case was in administrative processing for a total of 5 business days. Don’t know when my tracking number will come in, does it usually take 24hrs for them to send an email?

Not to be a downer, but no, the interview is not a small formal final step 😕
 
In my experience, there was no way I could have known that my previous troubles at the border would have delayed processing my visa. They will ask you questions about any possible issues you’ve had before because they’ve got all of your history in front of them during the interview. They knew about my student visas and all my border crossings and asked me questions to confirm what happened. 
 
They might still approve the visa, but in my case, they put me administrative processing because they needed to look more into it.
 
Don’t worry too much about it now. Just be honest and roll with the punches. Nothing you can do 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeeeah...
Been in a similar place before, unaware an idea of filing AOS was a major judgement error...
Lived through the border trauma with a withdrawal and Canadian Hawk Rider got approved at interview later on without issue.
Grateful for finding this site and all its education!

I sincerely hope your travel plans are flexible.  I would give it less than 1 chance in 50 that you will have your passport by the weekend. If you got a 221g paper, even the 2-3 weeks is highly unlikely.

This is my police certificate and I got it through Reliability Screening this summer
 
On the Police Certificate section here it says:
 
So, what - they changed the requirements last fall and now my certificate isn't valid anymore despite being accepted by NVC? Will I get bounced at the interview for having what is now the wrong certificate? How were we supposed to come by this information?
 
Is my assessment correct?
 
Thanks so much
 

Alright, well I confirmed with Reliability Screening that this certificate is no longer valid and will likely be rejected at interview.
 
I'm absolutely fuming right now! 
 
Does anyone have link to the list of other supporting documents needed for the interview? Are there any similar foot guns waiting for us at the consulate?
 
Thanks so much

You have enough time! I did it recently and it arrived the same week! 

I went to my interview (Jan 9) with the visa border crossing certificate and was told I need the RCMP National Repository   Entire Holdings. I applied the next day for the updated  certificate at the local police station  and they sent directly to RCMP. Today is day 36 and I haven't  received the new document from RCMP.  My original police certificate took 37 days. I see on other comments that it took 1 to 2 weeks and even 8 weeks.... I'm confused now!

hi there! mt husband had his interview on jan 9th. we did get delayed due to this exact issue. when we got home, we went to Reliability Screening, a 3rd party company that is from the government website for my husbands fingerprints and new police certificate. when we went to the place, the lady knew exactly what we needed before we even explained. she told us the requirements changed September 2022 and we weren’t the first ones with this issue. 
 
we re-submitted my husbands fingerprints and the new Police Certificate took 14 days to come in the mail. 
 
when you apply for your new certificate, just ask if there’s any way to expedite it or maybe even go to an RCMP on your own to explain and see what they can do to help you. 
 
i will be writing a post later on our exact experience to help others because this will definitely cause an issue 

You can still get it on time you have plenty of time you shouldn't worry 
 
 
 
 

I got my hep A and B a few days before my medical to save some time and cost at the clinic. They didn’t administer another dose at the clinic for it even though it’s a three dose vaccine because they need to be spaced out (I think it’s one month for the second dose and 6 months for the third, but don’t quote me on that). When I finished my medical, they told me my case was completed and that I didn’t need to come in again. So, I’m assuming that I don’t need to get the second dose before my interview either way, because the only thing the consulate is gonna see is the report they give at the time of the exam. Essentially what I think is that you don’t need to stress after the exam about your vaccines. But then again, I haven’t gone in for my interview yet.

thank you! yeah i figured its not required if the spouse/petitioner is in the US but they are living with me in Canada so I was a bit worried because of that
