There is no reason stated on the 221g. They just checked the box for additional processing required. They will contact when this is complete. 

Was it the first box?

 

Sorry about ignoring your earlier question about the police certificate. I didn’t know the answer to that for sure as I haven’t interviewed yet.

Yes, it was the first box. 
 

Thank you all for the answers.

It sounds like she may be asked to fill up the DS-5535. 
 

It is worrying that we are seeing so many of these cases at Montreal off late. Please do update us with your progress. 
 

The good news is they kept her passport. So perhaps it’s not going to be a long wait… good luck!

My medical exam was yesterday, at the Montreal clinic, and it was incredibly positive. I have a mild cerebral palsy, and have been super anxious about the medical exam because of it. The doctor told me that she absolutely doesn’t consider me disabled, and it was a really good visit.

Last year when submitted paperwork to become DQ'ed the 864 forms for sponsor and joint sponsor were based on the years 2017, 2018, and 2019. I have tax form 1040 copies and IRS transcripts in hand for these years.

 

However, now are the tax forms for 2020 required? Joint sponsor has not yet completed these forms. Would 2020 W-2's along with current paystubs satisfy this requirement? Or should the 1040 tax form be filled out and brought if possible? 

 

Also since the joint sponsor is married, it seems needs the I-864A form also filled out from the spouse of joint sponsor, can anyone confirm this? First I've seen this.

 

Thank you in advance for reading, interview is coming up very soon. This is a wonderful community!

Wife had interview Tuesday morning. Interview lasted about three minutes. She was initially denied and informed that she had to have administrative processing. They kept her passport and kept the police certificates from the 4 countries she lived in. They returned all other documents. Is it common for them to keep the police certificates?

I can't add anything re: the administrative processing but It's normal for them to keep the police certificates, they will be sent back with her passport (and hopefully visa!)

Good to know that’s standard. Thank you. Just in the waiting game again.

Anybody here from New Hampshire? I have been reading about needing long form marriage certificate for the interview and I didn’t even know what that means until yesterday. Does anyone know if New Hampshire has a long form version of the marriage certificate? I couldn’t find anything about it online.

 

Getting paranoid about the acceptability of all my documents now that I see the possibility of an interview soon. 😅

Just want to give a quick report on my interview.  Just got out there about 10 mins ago.  Appointment was for 8:15 am, whole process took about 3 hours total. Almost all of it waiting.  Get in, wait to be called up.  First window takes all your documents, then go wait some more.  Then the actual "interview".  Only one window doing the actual interviews though many people in the waiting area most for CRBA.  My interview lasted about 4 mins.  

 

These are all of the questions they asked of me:

 

How did I meet my spouse

What do they do for a living

Asked about our child, "describe her to me" 

Asked about an arrest record when I was younger for underage possession of alcohol 

 

After that the interviewer said "I will approve your visa, here is the paper to track your passport delivery back to you".    Interestingly, they did not ask anything about proof of asset documents which I had submitted a lot of. 

 

Happy day for me been waiting more than 2 years maybe even 3 years for this.  Good luck to everyone else who interviewed today.  Judging from the looks on the applicants faces as they left the building, those who went before me (8 others) all seemed to have positive news as well.  Wished I didn't have to fly across the country just to have some basic questions but it is what it is. At least I can enjoy Montreal  stress free for the rest of the day before my flight home.

 

Any questions I will try to answer.

It was one in Toronto but the issue they said was on the consulates side. They kept me up to date on what was going on and worked really hard to fix it for that 10/10. Also the medical was a breeze wasn’t even in the office for 20 X-ray took like 10 mins bloodwork well that’s another story lol

Wow…what a long couple of days. I hope the immigration process can change a bit from lessons learned during Covid. It took an entire day to get out to Montreal from Vancouver, it’s a long, exhausting journey.
My appointment at the consulate was for 8:45am. It was pretty busy in there. I was called up to the window at 10:15am. They collected my husband’s 2021 tax docs, my police certificate, passport, 2 passport pictures, birth certificate and marriage certificate. 
 

Waited and waited, and at 12pm was called up to the window again and this time was approved, yay! I was out of there by 12:15pm. She said, "I intend to approve your visa application."

 

Some questions I was asked:

-What my husband does for a living 

-If this was our first and only marriage and if we have children 

-How we met 

-When we started dating 

-My profession, and if I plan to pursue that career in America 

-What I value most about my husband 

 

Thank you to all those on this platform for making this process easier to navigate, especially @Hawk Riders. 
 

It’s 8:15pm out here in MTL and I’m pretty tired. It will be a peaceful and relaxing sleep tonight. I look forward to my 2 year marriage anniversary on Nov. 23rd and getting on with married life. Immigration, the pandemic and closed borders tested us- hope we come out on top 🤞🏽

Interview yesterday at 8am. Short, 5 min interview. A little over 2 hours total there.

 

Consular Officer: "I intend to approve your visa application."

 

Checked the courier service today and it says the visa is issued!!
