I joined VJ just because I’m so stressed out and I just need some kind of community right now 🥺 I feel like I put my whole life on hold and my wife is going through life without me in California  I’m just stuck here waiting for paperwork in Ottawa. I feel like I don’t have a life right now. I haven’t gotten a full nights sleep since July when NVC started dinking around with our paperwork because of all the stress 😞 this is never going to end

_:(´ཀ`」 

Sending empathy and hugs. I'm sorry you have to go through this, but welcome to the group. We are all here for you, and can deeply relate to those feelings.

Just wanted to let everyone know my interview was successful! I will post more info & a consulate review later - I'm going to get outside & enjoy the weather in Montreal before the sun sets  

 

Oh, my police certificate is the one that says "Other" and has no fingerprints - they accepted it, didn't comment on it at all.

I went back so far in the data and it really is jarring to see how quickly this process used to move before Trump- I really thought I had a chance at being through this year but then COVID hit and the average wait from DQ to interview is like 160 days...and that’s just from the spreadsheet. The consulate said they were only beginning to schedule for March DQ now...it really could be another year. I feel so defeated 🥺 but that’s okay I am around other people who get it now. 
 

how is everyone doing with 8 months no visits 😞

Yay great news! And thanks for the update on the certificate!

Same boat as you. Husband in California as well...I share your pain! Let's hope for some good news for everyone in this thread.

FYI The Consulate is working on March K1 files that were shipped to them before the Covid shutdown. For spousals, they are working on January DQs. We're hoping for interview letters this week...

Congratulations - I’ve always loved your positivity on here! It’s so nice to see members of our little VJ family reach the end! Gives me so much hope and longing for that very moment. ❤️

Does anyone know if these are still k1s received before the shutdown? I keep checking my email and my junk mail box (just in case) every ten mins every Monday and Tuesday and I feel like I’m going crazy 😖

Yes. All the ones received up to April 30th from the k-1 spreadsheet. 
 

I know the feeling although I’m really resigned to the fact that they are now only working on k-1s for some reason. 
I hope I am wrong and we get ILs this week.

Even though they said they were only working March, they also went ahead with April.  December SHOULD be for CR1/IR1. I think many of us feel the same way tho; we’ll believe it when we see it.

How long did it take for social security card to show up?

Agreed! I really thought December dates would be reserved for spouses. I really hope we see some letters come through today. If not this week, I won’t know what to think anymore. Did anyone call NVC again to see if they actually received dates from Montreal? Not sure if that will help, but maybe somebody was blessed with a helpful customer rep at NVC with updates/info to share? 🤪

So, I'm going to assume that no one recieved an IL today. Maybe there might be some movement on Thursday.
