Hi I’m in the same boat, waiting for F2B here in Vancouver to get scheduled in Montreal, I was DQ on 22nd September 2019 and based on timelines was expecting to get scheduled in April 2020 but then everything got shutdown in March and the Visa ban kicked in.

No idea what to expect now that Biden rescinded the ban and what updated documents to gather...got an email from NVC that Im still awaiting scheduling recently and thats it.

Hello @marko1111, 

Thanks for reaching out, it really helps to estimate the timeline this way.

As per the backlog (The interviews were closed in March 2020), so you may get your interview soon I think.
 

The only thing I am worried is that we have to do the Police Certification check one more time as the older one will expire once 1 year is complete.

No worries, good to stay in touch, Police certificate is easy, will go apply today...just wondering if we need new affidavit of support for current year?

Let's create a thread or ask NVC directly about it.

Or, taking a new AOS during interview may also work

Hello everyone in this thread:

I don't  know if this help but maybe my information give you some perspective.

Our case is F3 (Married children +21  of US citizen). Our case became Documentarily Qualified on February 2019 and we attended to our interview on Nov. 2019. That means it took us 9 months to attend to the interview...in a pre-COVID time. This is the only Consulate processing immigrant visas in Canada and that includes spouse and children, Fiance visas (K1), which I presume, they are many, so it takes times... and a lot of patience

We got a refusal letter and we were asked to re-submit updated financial information (Affidavits, Tax forms, etc.). We submitted this information on February 2020 and heard nothing back. Then in Mar 10 we wrote to the consulate and got back on Mar 13 saying our case was lining up for review. Then the COVID happened, the consulate closed, then proclamation 10014 came, and well, you all know the story. Now despite 10014 was rescinded, it seems the Consulate in not processing all types of visas. We wrote to the consulate last week and got an auto-reply from the consulate that said:

 

The United States Consulate General in Montreal has resumed certain immigrant visa services, including spouses and children of U.S. citizens, K-1 fiancé(e) visa applicants, and other categories such as medical professionals.  All other immigrant and nonimmigrant visa services remain restricted to emergency appointments.  While the Consulate General aims to process cases as soon as practicable, wait times will continue to be lengthy due to the ongoing pangdemic.  

  

The U.S. Consulate General in Montreal may be able to provide emergency immigrant visa services for categories other than those identified above. Expedited processing is only approved in the most urgent mission critical cases. You may e-mail us with your request for an expedited appointment if you believe your case qualifies. 

                 

Thank you for your understanding, and please continue to monitor the website of the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Canada for updated information: https://ca.usembassy.gov/  

 

Based on what I've read, our case do not qualify for an expedite processing, but I'm consulting with a lawyer to see if there is anything we can do. I presume that when our case get reviewed again by a consular officer, they will ask for updated financial documentation (again), updated medicals, and police records, so I don't think the issue of the visa is going to be immediate.

 

Just one piece of advice based on my experience: If you get scheduled for an interview, and even if they do not require extra information, bring updated and valid financial documentation (Affidavits, etc.) and police records with you, just in case.

 

Hope it helps and good luck.

 

Dan

I read that AILA had meeting with NVC & they said they won’t be asking for new AOS due to Covid-19
