Did you have to make an appointment for this or you were able to just show up and drop it off?

Congratulations to all the recent passport request recipients. I'm glad to see things actually moving again. Does anyone know if it is possible to complete the second medical before the request? I know it's generally not advised due to the time constraints but I feel we're very close to the request as well (April 2023 interview) so it would be nice to have that done and ready to submit.

Can you post a timeline for the updates you received leading up to the request?

Hi guys just wanted to update. Seems like positive news but I'm not getting too excited yet. I sent an email to the consulate on May 30 and received the standard canned response on June 17 and a case update that day as well. Today (June 20) we received another case update which I assume would be unsolicited after already receiving a response and previous update.

He has visited around 15.

I would try not to worry too much about it but also be prepared for the possibility. Unfortunately, our situation sounds very similar to yours. My husband is also born (French) Canadian from way back, does not work in TAL, but had traveled a lot to "safe" countries. Mostly to the US for work but also some tourism to Europe and Mexico and we got out into AP. Extensive travel history seems to also get you flagged occasionally regardless of background. We didn't even know this was a possibility going in and I wish we had been better prepared for this outcome. We've been waiting over a year now since his interview like most people who interviewed in early 2023. Best of luck to you guys, hopefully everything goes smoothly.

Also April 27 2023 and nothing.

I believe it would be the bottom one judging from the date.
-
Did you tell them about your pending case upfront or did he know about it and asked you first?
-
Yes sadly it's totally normal. When you first submit your DS5535 you'll see a few updates then it will go quiet. When we first submitted I believe we had 2-3 updates right away and now 12 months later we're still waiting. The only updates we've had in the meantime came when we sent emails.

I got an actual response on January 23 which was about 11 days after I sent them an email.
