I suppose so, but this isn’t doing anything to speed up the backlog for spouses. I had really hoped for an interview in December. I came to Canada to be with my husband since I figured it was only for a little bit longer, but who knows now...

Ugh I know, I'm hoping the local laws in Montreal allow for more staff at the consulate soon!

It isn't *under* the username; hover over the triangle at the top right corner of the cell to see any attached comments

Hi everyone! What’s this spreadsheet people are talking about? Kind of new to this. I130 petitions were just approved a couple days ago  

You can message @Hawk Riders to be granted access.

My husband picked up his passport today! He didn't get a packet to take to the border though- he got the welcome to the USA letter, our documents, and that's it. Is he supposed to have some sealed thing to take with him?

the "packet" is electronic now, so it is normally he didn't receive anything. The border will be able to pull up his packet electronically based on the visa stamp in his passport.

Has anyone had any problems where your intended US address has changed for some reason? I.e the address changed since the filling in of the ds-260 form?

had a little speedbump at the immigration doctor with regards to the address. I gave them the new one and also emailed the consulate the new one. (Have not heard back)....anything else I should be doing?

Montreal just posted a message saying they have just started scheduling new visa appointments for spouses/children of USC and Fiances on their Facebook page. Perhaps, they’ll move faster now that they pushed the announcement out (LOL one can only hope).

Haha exactly. I’m like okay...but doesn’t seem like you’re moving any quickly. LOL I have very low expectations from them.

Looks like they posted a similar message on the embassy website last night as well:

Just got back from my medical with Dr. Cheema. I think I saw him for 2-3 minutes total. They took my height and weight and then he rapid fire asked me questions about my medical history, took my temperature, listened to my chest, and looked at my eyes. He asked me 3 times if I had any history of mental health issues but I think that's because my heart was racing due to a stressful drive over haha. Then he left and said that's all they can do due to covid 🤷‍♀️ They take digital photos and send the results directly to the consulate, but you still have to either go pick up the xray cd or have it sent to you. Xray is fast (pay parking behind the building, everything in front is reserved for other businesses), lifelabs is slow (do the save my spot thing, I did it after Dr. Cheema's office and still had an hour wait). Things seem pretty normal otherwise. Started at 7:30 and was done before 11.
