Yes, I’ve received the exact same email, not for myself but for my son. However, I’ve already registered delivery for us. I thought there might be an issue with my son’s delivery registration, so I tried to verify it with the consular office but was directed to the following page: http://canada.usvisa-info.com, where we had already completed the delivery registration. I’m not sure what else to do at this point.

During your interview or at the border, it is perfectly acceptable to provide an updated address if your plans have changed. You are not legally bound to the address listed in the EB2 application—it is simply an indication of your initial plans

Thank you for sharing your experience, and congratulations! I’m curious about one thing: the preparation of documents before the interview. Based on the interview experiences shared by others in this forum, I’ve read that during the initial step of the interview, applicants are typically asked to present the documents listed in the pre-interview checklist. Do they also request any certificates or documents that were submitted during the I-140 process? While I plan to have all my documents ready, I’m wondering—should we include everything we have in the pre-interview folder, just in case?

Hi @sns75, it seems you had an interview on December 10. If you don’t mind, could you please share your interview experience? Thank you.

Hello, what should be understood regarding the statement, "Any documents that are not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation"? If I completed my graduate studies in the U.S., can I be considered a certified English translator for my own documents?
-
In this case, a simple folder might not enough. Are we allowed to bring a document bag inside?

Hello everyone, Regarding the interview document list, are we supposed to bring only the documents listed here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html/#pre_interview_checklist, or if we're applying under EB2 NIW, do we need to bring every single document? I'm particularly concerned about bringing my original degrees because they are oversized, and I’m worried about the possibility of folding them.

Oh, okay. Yes, I've received my IL. I tried to update the Excel sheet but couldn't. If someone can add it, my interview date is January 31, 2025. Thank you

In this link https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html, Step 3 mentions uploading the documents to the online application, which redirects you to the Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application (DS-260). However, there is no option for me to upload any documents there. I have already sent copies of all my documents to the NVC via courier before being DQ'd. What are we supposed to do here? Any ideas?

Following was @Froozion's experience: Hi all, Just wanted to give a final update. We crossed the border on 18th october. Received our SSN on 1st November. Received our green card 8th November. Thank you for all the help and support in this group over the years. Good luck to everyone else still in the process. I wish you fast interview letters and no AP for you all. Good luck!

I am DQ'd for December, I'm hoping for an earlier date🙂

UPDATE!: https://ca.usembassy.gov/consular-services/#montreal As of November 15, 2024, most Immediate Relative and fiancé(e) visa cases being scheduled for interview in Montreal were documentarily complete at the National Visa Center in August 2024; most Family Preference cases with visa numbers available that are being scheduled for interview were documentarily qualified in September 2024; and most Employment cases scheduled for interview were documentarily complete in October 2023.

I couldn't add my information to Excel. If someone can do it, I'd appreciate it. Here are the details: PD: 29-APR-2022 DQ: 14-DEC-2023 Country: ROW Visa Class: EB2-NIW
-
I may missed it in chat history but is there anyone who are DQ'd October 2023 and got IL?
-
right, based on the group members' experience. I've just verified with chatgpt. Unfortunately, it doesn't share the resource, but group members have verified it. I'd really like to hear from @Froozion's experience.

Reference ChatGPT: Once you enter the U.S. with your one-time entry immigrant visa (issued after your immigrant petition, such as for a green card, has been approved), you technically become a permanent resident upon your first entry. However, there are important considerations for travel after this entry, especially before you receive your actual green card. Here’s how the process works and what to consider if you need to travel soon after entering the U.S.: 1. Stamp in Your Passport (I-551 Stamp): When you first enter the U.S. with the one-time entry immigrant visa, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer will place an I-551 stamp in your passport. This stamp serves as temporary evidence of your permanent resident status, and it is usually valid for one year. The I-551 stamp allows you to travel internationally and re-enter the U.S. even before you receive your physical green card. 2. Travel After First Entry: You can leave the U.S. after your initial entry and re-enter, provided that your I-551 stamp is still valid (until your green card is physically mailed to you). The I-551 stamp in your passport will act as your proof of lawful permanent resident (LPR) status, allowing you to travel in and out of the U.S. while awaiting your green card. 3. Recommended Approach: If you need to return to Canada or another country to wrap things up, you can do so after entering the U.S. with your immigrant visa. Make sure to return to the U.S. before your I-551 stamp expires or before your green card arrives (whichever comes first). It is usually advisable not to stay outside the U.S. for an extended period of time (typically not more than 6 months) during this process, as it could raise concerns about your intent to maintain permanent residency. 4. What Happens If You Stay Out for Too Long?: Extended absences (longer than 6 months) could lead to issues with re-entry, as the CBP might question whether you intend to live permanently in the U.S. If you anticipate a prolonged stay outside the U.S., you may want to look into applying for a Re-entry Permit, which allows you to stay outside the U.S. for up to 2 years without jeopardizing your permanent resident status. However, this process must be started after your initial entry as a permanent resident. 5. Receiving the Green Card: Your green card is typically mailed to the U.S. address you provided within a few weeks to months after your initial entry. If you need to travel while waiting for the physical green card, the I-551 stamp will serve as proof of your permanent resident status. Best Approach: Enter the U.S. with your immigrant visa, get your I-551 stamp, and handle your necessary matters in the U.S. If needed, travel back to Canada using your I-551 stamp for re-entry. Ensure that you don’t remain outside the U.S. for too long, as it could lead to complications.

Same here.

First of all, congratulations! I’m just confused. You were DQ'd in January 2023, but you just had your interview today. The official explanation states that they called those DQ'd in August 2023 for interviews. How is this happening?
-
Congratulations, Froozion! I am really happy for you and your family. You are one of the most contributing members of this forum, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. My question is a bit speculative: Do you think the interview is just a formality and that the decision has already been made? Did you get that feeling?
-
Congratulations to those who got their IL. Can we safely say that most employment cases scheduled for interviews were documentarily complete in July 2023?
-
Hi Froozion, where do you get antibody test? Thank you

disregard (couldn't delete the post)
