Hi everyone, I interviewed in MTL on January 6th and I was approved on the spot and given a paper for tracking. I know January 9th was a holiday and the embassy was closed so that will add another day to my visa/passport processing, so its technically only the 3rd business day now. I was wondering if anyone else here had interviewed/been verbally approved around the same time as me could share their timeline/CEAC tracking updates because I'm really impatient and hoping to receive my visa soon. I also wanted to see if anyone elses status is/was changed from Ready to 'Refused' on the day of their interview like mine, the last update is still the day of my interview, January 6th, no CEAC update since then. I also haven't been contacted for any additional info/no 221g, so I hope that 'Refused' is just the normal ''processing'' for MTL, can anyone confirm/share their experience? I was hoping id get my passport and visa back in my hand by the 17th since since I've seen lots of people at MTL get their visa in about 5-8 business days on average in the last couple months in a discord server im in, am I being too optimistic?

Apologies if this is in the wrong spot, My petitioner has 2 kids that he has 50-50 custody of with their mothers and he does not claim them as dependants on his taxes; on the i-134f when it asks how many dependants he has should it be 0 or 2? > side question, since they are not claimed as his dependants on his taxes would his income requirement be based on a household size of 2 (myself and him)?- or 4(myself, him, 2 kids)? Thanks

I've already tried those emails listed there and they were no help, and the link for the public inquiry is broken/doesnt work. I already tried a public inquiry form earlier and they said it is no longer USCISs, id have to reach out to the consulate in montreal, which i cannot reach by phone or email....

heres the thing the montreal consulate is essentially unreachable. i tried every email and they said they cant help and that the emails are either only for americans asking general questions or that they only deal with non immigrant visa questions, and through the phone theres no way to speak to a real person, its just a robot repeating very vague and useless information. will i just have to write them a letter in the mail?

my mom had asked my sister to grab the mail and she said there was something for me and she said my mom had taken it from her and my mom is saying that she took nothing lol. im worried that it was instructions to schedule my interview which neither myself or my partner received any info on yet. i know when we filed we submitted an electronic notification form with his number and email, but i cant remember if the initial i129f also asked for my email too, so i dont think theres any way they would have my email.

Hi, i'm in a unique situation, our k1 had been approved in May and sent to Montreal. However, I believe I received the welcome letter/instructions to schedule my interview in the mail and my parents have stolen/hidden it from me. Could someone please show me/let me know the steps on how to schedule or even just send a pic of their letter? Or is there unique information on the letter that I'd have to use to schedule my interview? (I do have the NVC case number, the one that starts with MTL.... and the initial WAC.... case number from when we first filed too) Thanks so much!!
