Hi Everyone, 

 

I recently had my interview on December 15th, during which I received a section 221g notice requesting the submission of the online DS-5535 form AND my passport.

 

I completed the DS-5535 online right away and submitted it on December 17th. However, I didn't receive a confirmation after submission...

Instead, I landed on a thank-you webpage. Is this normal, or should I expect a confirmation by email?

 

Additionally, I wanted to inquire about the passport request during the interview. The officer returned my passport, he mentioned that I would need it for the holidays travel. I sent my passport last week , but I am now unable to travel. I'm curious about the duration they typically retain passports (if anyone experience that) and if there's any information on similar cases where officers listed passport as document to provide.

 

Thank you in advance for any insights or experiences you can share.

 

Best, 

Hello, 

we are in the same boat. they asked us to fill out some form online which did not gave us any conformation number or anything.

also we are not sure how they will be contacting us. 

when, and how did they reach out to you to mail your passport. 

i hope you get your passport back soon with a visa. 

good luck 

Thanks,

Amazing thank you everyone! This has helped.

I guess to confirm for the long form is it “Certified Copy of Birth Registration” 

What birth certificate did you submit and bring to the MTL Interview? I am seeing a few comments that invidiuals did not get a visa because of the incorrect birth certificate. This is for province of Ontario birth certificate if that helps.

Below is an example of the long birth certificate that I assume is accurate titled 'Statement of live birth.' Please let me know what you used! I am so nervous.
