my interview in Montreal was June 16th, I received a ISSUED update on June 26th but as of today still don't have the tracking info... Was hoping to be able to get it today and possibly fly next monday (july6th) but I guess I'll just be waiting for another update that day instead

Wow seriously? That's bad, really puts things out of whack...

June 22: CR-1 Interview at Montreal Consulate = Approved

July 6: E-mailed Consulate as status has been 'Ready" since Interview with same date

July 7: Case Status as "Ready" and Date Updated

July 13: E-mailed, no update again

July 13: Case Status as "Ready" and Date Updated

July 24: E-mailed again, no update

July 24: Case Status as "Ready" and Date Updated

July 27: Date Updates by itself still "Ready"

July 28: Get Email from Montreal US Consulate requesting to go back and redo fingerprints

July 28: Drive halfway to Montreal

July 29: Get to Montreal

July 30 (8am): Redo fingerprints, consular officer apologizes for having us comeback for fingerprints, issues us the Visa on the spot

July 30 (3pm): VISA in HAND!

August 3: Florida move!

This is exactly right; we have to be logical here. The last we know for sure is that they are making progress and even have processed a small number for the first priority to be processed. Some of the

Guys, have you been following? This is the norm right now. Unfortunately a lot of ours are going to stay at 'ready' status for a little while longer. Means it hasn't been processed yet, so you won't h

I am SO angry about this. I have been waiting over 20 months to be with my family since I started this process. I was banking on getting my visa within the 2 weeks. Nope, I have to be out of my apartm

It seems to me they didn't work on the IV backlog at all, at Montreal anyway. I haven't seen anyone passed a June 17th interview date as issued yet...

mine was on 17th June and I just got issued status today.

did you also get this message?

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. As the officer told you in the interview, if further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved when administrative processing is finished, you will receive notification to collect the passport with the visa from the Loomis branch you selected when you booked your appointment.

yeh I am hoping that is just a formality. Issued means visa is printed in the passport...so they just have to send it and put the IV packet together.

so i guess now here comes the next obstacle do we know how long after issued we get our actual passports back?

I contacted Montreal a few days ago for status updates and they said my case was with the CO so hoping next week they can tell me when to expect it at my Loomis location.

My ISSED update on CEAS says:

Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it in more than five (5) working days, please go to http://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/us_courrier_information to track your courier waybill.

My last update was June 26th, my interview in Montreal was June 16th

Congratulations all Loomis directly or if DHL call them. I had a friend who received the email and still needed to make multiple calls to find her Visa.

K-1 Issued today July 2, 2015. Interview was on June 5, 2015. Looks like they are catching up folks !! Congrats to everyone who has been issued and best wishes for an issue soon on those still waiting.

Congrats to you and to all here who just shared the good news. It makes us who are still hanging dry feel good. Seems Canada post is working well yesterday and today? I just had a quick look on the DOS Facebook page, some said the problem is actually still going on, in Washington, and the database is offline again but they can't announce nor response to people due to previously premature announcement on 30th Jun that the systems are online and they will work the backlogs over the weekend.

I can't afford another bad news ?
