  1. That was not the case when I immigrated. They never saw anyone like an EB2-NIW application before where I did my immigration, they intimidated me and searched my phone. The way they talked, it seemed they wanted to refuse me until they called their high-ups and those told them to give me the approval. The Canadian side were more understanding on the way back. Let's keep things real!
  2. For anyone who recently crossed into the USA, did you get your phone searched?
  3. Yes, you are allowed to bring your phone. They will ask you to turn it off and put it in an individual tiny locker before you go to your interview. So, don't bring any other devices.
  4. I asked the officer if I should get it stamped ASAP. They said yes. I didn't ask anything more and I doubt they would have answered if I did.
  5. Hi, Yes I did! Everything went well and I got approved! Was an easy process and similar experience to people who shared before me ( officer who verifies documents, fingerprinting, then interview). The only thing I want to add, and maybe I missed that, is to not bring a bag to the consulate. You can bring your paper binder, but they didn't let me bring the bag inside and I had to go ask around the shops if they can keep my bag over for a couple of hours. The nearby Tim Hortons accepted and were well aware of the situation :D. The officer hinted that it's best to enter and get the stamp ASAP. I'm not done with Canada yet, so I'm not sure what to do. Is it okay if I get the stamp and then have the green card delivered to USA address while in Canada, then have my relatives ship the card over to me to Canada?
  6. Yes I did! DQ: Nov 13 2023 IL: Nov 21 Interview date : Jan 24
  7. I was planning on doing the medical and interview during one trip to Montreal with one week in between. Is this enough time or should I plan separate trips?
  8. I'm concerned about the long list of required vaccines. How expensive it is to get these at the physical exam? Would it be cheaper to get them at a travel clinic? I'm struggling to get a serological assessment without having a family doctor.. (been a PR for 3 years!)
  9. Can someone please add my gmail address to the google sheet for EB visas? Under the name Michael
  10. Hello everyone, Can someone please clarify whether your priority date has an impact on when you get your interview or not? I understand that your priority date has to be current, but if your priority date was in Aug/2021 and DQ'd on Oct 2023, would that expedite interview scheduling or it doesn't have any impact? I have seen both views expressed here and elsewhere and I can't figure out which one is correct. Much appreciated! Michael
