Hey people. I had my interview on August 14 at the Montreal consulate. I was missing a document and I immediately sent the doc to the consulate. Now I'm checking my status online and it went from ap to ready then back to ap. I've read from different forums and people have said they they have only waited from the "2nd" AP to issued for 2days to switch to issued. Now it has been 4 days since it last changed , should I be worried?

Your visa is about to be printed.

When it goes back to AP they're waiting for your doc. They received your document and then it changed to "READY".

Then you've gone back to AP while your bios are checked for a final time at Department of State/FBI etc etc.

It's come back clear and approved to print. That is when it says "ISSUED".

Congratulations, your visa is about to be printed!

No problems!

I was losing it after the Consulate here told me twice I was approved.. Then required an I-129F extension (because during the outage the original petition expired). Finally, about 8 weeks after I should have received my visa it was sent.

Then the courier left it outside my apartment! AHHH. Frantic calls to get it picked back up and taken to the depot.

After hours of making sure it was safe, went to the depot. They didn't have it (tracking said it was there). Took another half an hour for them to find it.

When I got that package in my hands, nothing was leaving my dead lifeless kung-fu grip on it. Got a cab home. Told the driver to lock the doors and wind the windows up! haha!

Ok so I received a written letter from the U.S. Consulate and it seems they want PROOF of the following:

Proof to move permanently for the foreseeable future, and proof to immigrate to the USA.

Oh boy I'm about to pull my hair out, has anyone received a letter like this? And in what ways do I prove my intentions to live in USA? Isn't going through all this enough intent? In what format do I provide these evidences?
