....Montreal actually responded to an email I sent them yesterday. Nothing too exciting, they are going to find my paperwork and FINALLLY look at it but I was quite pleasantly pleased that they actually ANSWERED my email in the first place :rofl:

At least I know there will be some sort of movement (God willing my visa issued) 70 plus days after my interview.

Nope, nothing yet but I'm excited that someone actually read and answered my email. I assume, since they emailed me to say "We will look into this and advise you." that the CO will finally "eyeball" the submitted paperwork and, God willing, approve our visa. But at least there's some type of movement going on.

Just got off the phone with DoS, Montreal has updated my case to say that they have received the additional documents submitted and everything is under review. Not sure exactly what the outcome will be but, God willing, perhaps our visas will get approved soon!

how many days now since your interview?

It's now been 70'ish days since our interview.

Hope you hear good news about your visa by the end of the week!

I sent an email over a week ago inquiring when they are going to issue the IV visa and return my passport. Got an auto-reply and haven't heard from them since. :-(

I feel your pain, I bet between my hubby, me and the senator's liason, we've probably emailed Montreal in excess of 30 times regarding this issue. I was totally shocked to see that Montreal actually answered. I called DoS today, Montreal really DID pull the remaining paperwork they were waiting for PLUS my hubby's updated deployment letter from his commander on Monday (the day they answered my email) and they have noted we are an expedited case so, God willing I will get good news by weeks end.

***edit*** wait - did you have your interview already? I looked at your timeline but maybe it's not updated?

Ok so just a random question here...

I thought I read somewhere on VJ (can't find it now of course) that visas are mailed out as a bulk mailing on Mondays? Is that correct or am I just imagining that?

Yup, interviewed in April. I was pregnant back then and therefore was not ready to immigrate within six months of visa issuance so the interviewing Immigration Officer did not issue a visa with the remark: *not ready to immigrate. As the IR1 visa is set to expire in March 2011, he said that as soon as I gave birth to my baby, to complete the visa application by mail. I mailed my passport over 6 weeks ago. :-(
