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

[Ptitchou 117]

I've booked my appointment with Dr Mascarenhas for Feb 1 with the knowledge that it's unlikely the medical will get to the consulate by my Feb 8 interview. I spoke with him directly by phone because we needed to discuss my situation with still recovering from COVID. He was very nice on the phone and let me know they'd give me a deferral letter just in case. 

 

Does anyone know if I'm able to get a copy of my xray after it's done? I need to get another chest x-ray for my own GP to check the progress of my lungs so if obviously prefer to reduce the amount of x-rays I get at one time and just get that one sent to my GP.

I have submitted all documents but have not received an email from NVC to state that I am DQ. Everything was submitted on October 21,2020. How long does it take them to process the submitted documents?

That seems like a very long time. We submitted all documents to NVC end Nov., received a RFE (request for evidence) 4 days later, and an email indicating we were DQ'd 7 days after sending in the missing document. So in total it only took 2 weeks, and that included an RFE. Are you sure there isn't a message when you login? Have you called the NVC?

I had my interview at 10:15am today and finished around 12:10pm. My visa was approved! I will post a longer review of the process later. Thanks for all your help and support!

CR1- interview: Just had my interview this morning 9:00am. I arrived at 8:54 I waited approx 3 mins lol. Went through security no problem. Took elevator to 1st floor where I was directed to window #6 gave my passport. Sat down and waited. I was called to another window where she took my fingerprints. I was asked for 1 passport photo (she scanned and returned it to me) original birth certificate, original marriage certificate, original police clearance and husband's 2019 tax transcripts. She asked who was my petitioner, what is his address in the U.S. and what is my address in Canada. She gave me a pamphlet on domestic violence and told me to have a seat I will be called for the interview soon. I was called to a 3rd window where he had me swear to a oath, took fingerprints again (as my electronic signature) he asked me how and when my husband and I met, when we got married, what does he do for a living, do we have any children together. He then said everything looked good (my medical results had made it in time, I gave LOTS of time lol) I was approved. My passport will be sent back to me within 7-10 days. He let me know i have 6 months from time of my medical to cross into the U.S. He returned my original documents to me and said good luck with everything. I was in there for about 1hr 40mins. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, I truly feel as though I was nervous and edgy for nothing this final part of the process was probably the easiest part but it is complete and I am so excited and relieved. Please let me know if I can help give any info according to my experience. Best of luck to everyone! 😊🥳

The document they requested had been submitted October 21 and the status says it has been accepted but no other email received after that. Does the status accepted indicate its been reviewed. I haven't called them yet maybe I should.

I didn't receive an email about DQ, I don't think most people do. You will get a message on the CEAC site though. If you click it, there will be little tab that says DQ. Here is a photo:

I don't see that. The last message in my box is asking for the additional information which had been submitted and accepted. But no additional message received

I think you should call them right away then. I called today about a document that was denied for no reason, and the officer I spoke to corrected this mistake right away. I was DQ'd two hours later. I was on hold for about an hour, but I've read if you call them right when they open, you can get through faster. Good luck!!

Thanks, I am on the call right now trying to figure out, we have been waiting for the last 3 months thinking we were DQ.. pretty frustrating to say the least.

Try not to get too discouraged.  It’s a marathon not a sprint.  Trust me the wait can be excruciating at times.  Trust me I feel your current pain.

Dr. Cheema's guide says they will give a cd afterwards with your x-ray (I booked recently for my interview) not sure if Dr. Mascarenhas does or not. Maybe someone who has seen him can confirm?

So the officer told me that the required document uploaded by my lawyer had been uploaded to the wrong section and therefore delayed my case. If I hadn't inquired about it, I wouldve kept waiting, thinking that my lawyer will done everything for us.

Ah man, that really sucks It's a good thing that you were able to get a hold of an officer today though. I hope you will get DQ asap and that the rest of your visa journey will go more smoothly.
