@NYQC & @PM Hank, how did it go? 

My visa application was refused because my certified criminal check  application type was for Visa-Border Crossing -Foreign Travel-Work and it should of been for personal use: other/RCMP National Repository Entire Holdings.

 

My handler at the US Consulate helped me out  and what to do with this issue  and the mistake was from the local police services I dealt with and the police service took my fingerprints again and updated the application type and re-send the paperwork to the RCMP.  All is good and now to wait for mail from the RCMP and then send document to the the US consulate.

that's odd. the incorrect background check should have been caught by NVC and rejected/replaced prior to DQ.

My  wife said the same thing to me.

When do you receive your SSN in the USA after you receive your passport back & green card (CR1) from the US consulate in Montreal ?

Had my Interview earlier today Jan 11

 

Want to let everyone know it went great and I got approved! The whole interview process went smooth, officers were nice and very helpful. I was there for about 1 hour and interview time was no more than 10 minutes. 

 

After a few hours my CEAC status updated to issued. Will now wait for the email, tracking number and passport return. 

 

Will give more details in my consulate review. Thanks all for the help and support in this forum

If your name is common, if you know there’s another “you” out there, it may take a little bit longer for the administrative processing to be completed. Your status will go from refused to issued. Don’t panic when it goes to refused. Hopefully there won’t be much more of a delay! 

Thank you all for the helpful advice. I believe my name being fairly common was most likely the cause. I just received my tracking number today.

Hello Everyone! 

I will be crossing in about 2 weeks from now, I was just looking up some info and read about a 220$ 'USCIS immigrant fee' ... Is this something I'm supposed to pay ahead of time? It mentioned needing an alien number which I don't think I have yet, do I? Did I already pay this before during my NVC stage or during the initial filing?

$220 is your green card application fee. You should pay before you cross the border or your green card application will be delay.

Your alien number is the same as the Registration Number on the Immigrant Visa the consulate returned with your passport.

Nobody can pay this fee at NVC stage because you don't have the A number yet. The A number or registration number will be issued if you are approved at your interview only.

Another question on crossing, any issues doing it with a family member (Canadian citizen) or is it advised to go on your own?

 

Also if going with your own vehicle will the border request you to also do the vehicle import or is it optional/can do it another time?

I'm following for this answer! 

I'm bringing a Canadian friend with me, and not importing my car (only keeping the car there for a few months) 👀

Thank you! I got it paid! 

 

it shows my name though as 

Firstname Secondfirstname Middlename NMN Last  name... 

I know NMN means no middle name, but I do have one and it's there listed. I just hope they don't think I have 3 first names..
