would it make sense to book our medical appointment even though we haven't received our IL yet?

You need the interview letter before booking an appointment. I had no problem at all booking in Montreal with time to spare.

I think the last ones went out May 24, so probably a bit early for the IR/CR category. 

 

E-mail.  

That’s true, I noticed they added a few April DQ’d files to that IL date, so I guess I need to be patient and wait for the next round of letters. I was t sure if all categories were mailed IL’s on same day or not. I guess IR/CR IL’s are sent separately from other categories…

Once you submit passport medical etc (everything they requested via email), how long does it take Montreal to respond and/or issue visa...this is 2nd week since mailing everything

This can be variable.  Remember, just because it's sent and received by the proverbial mail room does not mean it's been reviewed by a CO.

Correct but my question is once sent, what's the total time they usually take to review and approve or update the case status

My original reply still stands.  It's variable.  Sometimes it's a week, sometimes it's 2 months.  Depends on priorities at the Consulate.

You can request it back, but keep in mind that they will then have to request it back from you once they finish up AP and are ready to issue the visa.  Again, you end up in that cycle of receipt at the consulate to the actual time it takes to issue.  

 

Think positively and hope it's only another week or 2!

I received my DQ in April 2022 logged in today just to see if I had missed an email and now it shows that my police certificate is missing, in April 2022 it wasn't missing, did anyone else have this issue?  I realize that I will need to get a new one once I know when my interview will be but that my not be until June of 2023 at this rate.   Any insight would be great

Not sure why your police certificate is missing, but if you are DQ’d you need not worry. You will be able to reupload on CEAC before the interview and you can take it to the interview.

 

Now, I am confused by your post. If you DQ’d in April 2022, why do you think:

 

1. you will need a new police certificate?

2. You won’t get an interview until June 2023.

Police certificates are valid for 2 years, and the backlog for IR1/CR1 at Montreal consulate has pretty much been eliminated leading to very short wait times from DQ to interview.

Oh also what do you mean the police certificate is missing. Is it just not visible on the CEAC portal, or did you get a message about it?

Hello folks! Just thought of sharing you an update for my wife's green card.

 

Apr. 8- Wife activated her Immigrant Visa at YVR

Apr. 12- I paid green card fee

Apr 13- Received email from USCIS acknowledgement of the payment stating they received it on Apr 12 and assigning case # IOE. 

Since I have account on uscis https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/displayLogon.do (different to myuscis acct). I logged and added the case # IOE.

Apr. 18- Wife received SSN

Jun 4- Received email, UCSIC approved production of card

Jun 7- Received email USCIS status: Card/Document Production

Jun 8- Received email USCIS status: Post Office picked up mail. Provided tracking number and link with usps

Jun 10- Received physical Green Card.

 

Total days from acknowledgement date to date received physical Green Card- 59 calendar days

Total working days from Apr 13 to date- 42 days

 

I suggest to all to create an account on the link above in able for you to add the case number. You will not only able to use this at Green Card process but as well as when you apply for Naturalization so you will have an update whenever USCIS made actions to your case.

Also I suggest to create an account with USPS so you will know informed delivery for your upcoming mails or package for the incoming day.

 

Hope this gives idea to all.

 

Note everybody may encounter different processing time on receiving SSN & GC. PLEASE read previous post from others and take note what were their advices if you didn't receive your SSN in a week or two and for GC if you didn't receive it after 90 days.
