Is there a way to update this thread name to just say ‘EB’ instead of ‘EB-2’?

Thanks - that’s definitely a fair point! I guess since Montreal lumps all EB visas together for processing times, we’d all benefit from keeping each other up-to-date on DQ and IL dates regardless of which EB category. I’ve definitely found this thread super helpful, despite not being EB2.
-
Thanks but I filed an I-526, not I-140. If I fill out that I filed an I-140, it would be incorrect and could create confusion for others down the line.
-
Also how do I go about seeing a table that shows the DQ and IL dates of all the EB folks processing in Montreal on VJ? It seems that even if everyone filled out their timeline, the table is not displaying the relevant information, unless I'm missing something?
-
Trying to fill out, but I can't seem to find 'Priority Date' and 'DQ Date'. Are there fields that mean the same thing but have a different name? Don't want to fill in the wrong information.
-
Thanks, my category is EB-5.
-
Thank you for sharing! Do you mind sharing country of chargeability?
-
Yeah your IL definitely gave me a lot of hope! That's why I was so caught off guard, as I anticipated that the August update would at least show July 2024. This mismatch implies that the status tool is not accurate. Will have to keep monitoring this thread to see if any others are getting ILs beyond April 2024.
-
Noticed that they now added 'Last Updated: August 04, 2025' to the IV tool. Disappointing to still see Apr-2024 in an August update.

Amazing news - congrats! The leap in the spreadsheet from March 2024 DQ to July 2024 DQ is very interesting, and gives us hope that it's still ~12 months from DQ. The tool still showing April 2024, so I guess we can't even trust that anymore 😅

At first I thought this delay in EB visas was due to the current administration deliberately slowing things down, but when I started checking the other consulates around the world, they are all doing very well with many interviewing applicants who DQd in Jun/July 2025. This seems to be a Canada specific issue and I don't understand why and how Montreal could be so far behind other consulates. Can anyone find a single consulate that is doing worse than Montreal? I'm using the IV tool (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html) A few examples for the G7 countries that are scheduling interviews based on DQ date: Canada Montreal (Consulate General) - Apr-2024 France Paris (Embassy) - Apr-2025 Germany Frankfurt (Consulate General) - Jul-2025 Italy Naples (Consulate General) - Jul-2025 Japan Tokyo (Consulate General) - Jul-2025 United Kingdom London (Embassy) - Feb-2025 Even China, India, and Mexico are doing better than Canada China Guangzhou - Jun-2025 India Mumbai (Bombay) - Jun-2025 Mexico Ciudad Juarez - May-2024

Thanks for trying to stay on top of the spreadsheet to keep things organized. Could I have access to the new spreadsheet as well?

Hi - yes, definitely nice to see other EB5 folks. Out of curiosity, what is your timeline?
-

It would be nice if EB5 gets their IL on a faster timeline, but I assumed that Montreal treats all EB the same (DQ+ VB Current). Our PD dates seem to be earlier than most other EBs, but my lawyer said that I can expect IL between mid to late 2025.

My correct dates are below: PD: Dec 3, 2021 I-526 approval: June 25, 2024 DQ: Dec 9, 2024 IL: TBD
