Hi all,

I just wanted to share this fantastic letter I received today from US Consulate in Montreal...

Dear Darryl,

This office is pleased to inform you that it can proceed with the processing of your immigrant visa case. If we were forced to cancel your interview appointment because of new legal requirements, we will be contacting you to schedule a new interview date. Otherwise, please proceed with instructions previously received from our office and your case will continue to be processed as usual.

We recently contacted you to inform you that all I-130 petitions filed after July 26, 2006 at an overseas consulate would be required to undergo additional screening, which could delay the processing of these cases. This screening is a legal requirement of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act ("Adam Walsh Act"), Pub. L. No. 109-248, which was recently passed by the US Congress. We have now received clearance from the Department of Homeland Security's Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to continue processing your case.

When communicating with this office, please provide your name and case number exactly as they appear at the bottom of this letter. Of the name in your passport does not match the name listed below, please contact us by email: Montreal-IV-DV@state.gov. You may also reach us by telephone at 514-398-9695 Ext4 between the hours of 2:00 and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday, except US and Canadian holidays.

Thank you for your patience as we work through the new regulatory requirements of the Adam Walsh Act.

Sincerely

Immigrant Visa Unit Chief

US Consulate General Montreal

So what great news eh!!! Things are back on track and we're off to the races! Now we just wait for our interview date and we're off to Montreal. I must say - kudos to the government officials involved - this could have been a huge delay of months, maybe years... - to only be delayed 5-6 weeks is not bad.

I hope everyone starts getting the same letter and interviews scheduled. Good luck
