IR-1/CR-1 Montreal DQ'd private message group goes public

[Rose__ 303]

When I did my medical with Medisys on the 16th, they told me I’d have the results delivered at home within 5 business days, that I’d get an email letting me know they’d been shipped. Well, guess what day it is 🙃 and I haven’t heard anything.

I’m VERY happy I didn’t accept the original option that they offered me: medical on the 22nd, with results back on the 29th between 2-4pm, but since I work I would have had to pick them up on my way to the interview. The lady kept promising the results date is guaranteed and I was like “no thank you” lol.

They used to be super fast and reliable but not so much anymore.

They took more than two weeks to get me mine back, apparently because of their systems crashing. Nonetheless, it was very frustrating!

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a full review of how my interview went today. My interview was at 10:15am and I arrived on time. They scanned all my things and sent me upstairs. I talked with a smiley guy behind a glass wall. He was wearing a mask of course but his eyes were smiling lol. Everyone was very friendly actually! He asked for my original docs one at a time. Didn’t ask for the financial stuff at all, not even the i864. Just passport, 2 photos, birth certificate and marriage certificate. They didn’t ask for any photos or any of those details at all. After they took my original docs I waited for about an hour. Felt super long. Finally they called my name over the intercom and I was SO EXCITED 😆 I LITERALLY JUMPED UP! Lol 😂 when I went around the corner to the lady behind a glass she said Hi! I said “Hi, I am SO happy to see you!” Lol 😂 she laughed and said “What happened were you one of the ones who got cancelled oroginally?” I said “YES! I was supposed to be April 6th 😁” she smiled and then said, “Well it looks like you have everything you need here, so we should be good. Let me just double check.” And she went over my docs again. She asked a few questions, how my husband and I met, when, and what does he do for work. I think that’s about it! She then reminded me that my medical was technically expired but because of Covid everyone is getting an extra month. I said thank you 😊 She made sure I understood I had to cross the border before the new expiry date and she reminded me to leave extra time at the airport for customs.  I told her - don’t worry I know we’re not supposed to, but I already bought my ticket! I’m ready to go as soon as the passport arrives!! She said, Okay! And told me it should be in the mail no later than Friday, probably tomorrow! She said check the status tonight!! I can’t wait till we get home from Montreal. Driving home with my brother as I type this lol. First thing I’m going to do is log on to CEAC and check it out when I arrive. 
 

I also just want to encourage anyone who is still waiting. Don’t loose hope!! Once everything comes together with the papers you’ll be alright 🤗 keep the faith!! Sending love to you all ❤️

Our cancellations were rescheduled over a period of 4 weeks and cover 7 weeks.

MTL started the K1 today, and with a parallel rescheduling it's likely new IR/CR1 interview letters will hit in Nov...

 

MTL started rescheduling cancelled K1 from today is such a good news. 

I hope parallel rescheduling will start in Nov because this year Xmas vacations gonna be long.

" I told her - don’t worry I know we’re not supposed to, but I already bought my ticket!"  

 

Above underlined part was the best one.

It made me smile. 

I am so happy for you.

Best of luck

I imagine that the passports submitted to NVC are the old ones that were stolen. So when SeriaRisa came to the interview with new passports for both her and her daughter, it led to additional administrative processing. Probably to check it's the same person? Not sure but it must be related to the passport situation. 

I do agree they should have explained and told her what to expect now though 😟

I agree!  This is probably the situation, BUT yes!, they should have given her more information, that is just terrible to send someone away without giving her an explanation or next steps..

On a positive note, Montreal scheduling well into October despite the current alerts makes it seem like they don't expect to be shutting down again. 

Are you uploading your new docs now or waiting for interview? 

[Hadarah 172]

Question - did anyone with a recent interview, or ever, have their status say "refused" on CEAC before it changed to anything else? I'm literally holding the letter that says "Welcome to the USA" and as I shared above everything was super smooth at the interview. Soooo I'm going to assume this is a mistake and that tomorrow everything is going to fix itself. She did say sometimes it takes a minute for everything to update in the system, but I didn't expect to see the word "Refused" show up at any point. Please let me know if anyone else has seen this before. I'm sure it must be a mistake.
