Thanks for the response(s). I hope we receive the embassy appointment date and instructions soon.

if your spouse is in Canada and your consulate is Montreal then you can just email the scan document

i got a checklist too and emailed them the next day , they review it every two weeks .

I got the document scanned and emailed it to them - I received this email this morning

I'm still waiting for them to review the document I re-submitted. They got it on June 24th. I called them yesterday, on hold 20 mins, spoke to a woman for 20 seconds to be told, yes, we got your paper and it can take up to 30 days to review. So frustrating. I want to cry every day. I'm so ready to leave this country. I could actually leave with my son but I don't want to leave my husband on his own here. I don't know if he'd do well alone. I found a turtle crossing through our yard today, though, so maybe that's a sign of good luck???? Hope so!!!

ugh that really stinks. We don't have the option for email processing here in Israel. Snail mail all the way, baby!

did you send the aos, iV document via physical mail ?

if yes then you are not eligible for email processing

for CR1 in Canada , we get the option to chose between physical mail vs email

once selected we cannot change back

i am assuming you sent you aos,IV documents via physical mail

then you need to send the RFE documents via physical mail only

FYI email processing is much faster as compared to physical mail ( 2 weeks processing )

i hope you get a reply soon

yes RFE takes 30-45 days

but keep calling them every week

i wish they have email for all countries , its faster and cheaper

I wish I would have known about the email processing before. I submitted all my other documents - AOS, IV etc via physical mail.

lets hope they reply you quickly

but when you received the email about sending them all the documents they must have mentioned you this link

https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Submit_documents.html

it states if your case starts with MTL ( Montreal ) you have the option for physical and email submission

Well thats a good deal, unless of couse they send it to a location and its not the one you asked for! But I suppose we should give them the benefit of the doubt.

we will not get the option to select the location , they will assign based on your address

[LookyWhatIFound 38]

Oh Okay, Sanil.

Well for us laggards that go at a snails pace. I sent NVC an email just telling them that we will be sending them the AOS and IV packages by the end of September so they don't think we've given up on our case or something.

For even better news, I got a new job starting August 1st, so now I don't need a co-sponsor on my I-864.

Thanks Sanil, yes definitely great timing for both the Visa and my wife and I!

Just thought I'd post this for anyone who wants to contact NVC.

Also some info that they gave for anyone that might be delaying the NVC process a little.

Here's NVC reply to my email which I didn't send thru their official form and didn't put birth dates on it. But anyway they verified for me what I wanted to know, which is that I can delay sending the AOS and IV package without any issue.

Thank you for contacting the National Visa Center. We can only provide you with a detailed response if you submit your inquiry or response with all of the following information:

Name of the person submitting the inquiry;

Petitioner's name; and

Principal Applicant's name and date of birth.

NOTE: If the visa petition is employment-based (I-140), include the company or organization name.

Please resubmit your inquiry with this information using the Public Inquiry form on our website:

IMPORTANT:

If your visa petition is currently processing at the National Visa Center, do not let more than one year pass without contacting NVC.

If this occurs, the fees must be paid again and documents must be resubmitted in order to continue the immigration process.
