Hi everyone – I’m sure most of you have seen my posts about being skipped over for the Nov and now Dec interviews as we were DQ’d Feb 19, 2021.

I have been in touch with our local Congress rep and they spoke to the NVC. They confirmed that yes, they scheduled by DQ'd dates. Admitting no error on their part because they have no way to compare cases to say that we are the same as people who have been scheduled for interviews who were DQ’d after us. Ridiculous of course. The Congress rep said the only option at this point is to "prove that the NVC has scheduled people for interviews after our DQ date". To do this we must find at least one person who is willing to submit to the NVC all of their case information along with interview info, etc along with our case info to "compare" to prove our issue.

My ask is of anyone who would be willing to help us with this. I believe what we could do to protect your privacy (from myself) would be for whoever would be willing; to send me your info in a private message – like your contact info and DQ date and interview date, along with your phone number and email for the NVC to contact you to verify your case info and details that I’m sure you’d like to keep private from myself. Then I could use all of that in my correspondence to them.

I see the following people who were DQ'd after us that have had or will have November interviews;

 

@Quangerfeb 21 interview nov 18

@Torrjr feb 22 interview nov 18

@Canada5 feb 25 interview nov 22

@NadiaL mar 5 interview nov 29

@SS_V mar 10 interview nov 29

@Colorado bound mar 15 interview nov 1

 

please reach out if you’d be willing to help us. We are desperate to have our family back together, my two babies miss their Daddy so much. Also if anyone that hasn’t had their interview yet and is scheduled for December would like to help, please do let me know.

Thank you very much!

 

 

Let me know how I can help

I have seen many cases where the applicant completed the medicals before the interview, but the report was yet to be received by Montreal Consulate. In such cases, the applicant is issued the visa once the medicals come in, just as @Dani has advised.

 

It says on the Montreal Consulate website: "All applicants must undergo a medical examination administered by one of the five approved clinics prior to the interview."

https://ca.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/the-medical-examinations/

I do not know how struct they are about this rule. I have not seen of any cases where someone has gone to the interview without having done the medicals at all.

 

Have you checked with Dr. Mascarenhas's office in Toronto? I imagine they fill up fast after release of letters, but they had many slots available within this week and next when I talked to them on Nov 17. Perhaps they could put you on a waiting list?

 

I would not recommend postponing the interview for this reason. It can take months for it to be rescheduled. I would rather try my luck, go to the interview and do the medicals after.

Ok thank you very much for the advice! I manged to get a cancelled appointment at Dr. Randall T Lee on the Nov 29. So thanks to who ever cancelled! And they said that since my first Covid dose is done then I can do the medical and they will complete the medical when my second dose is given on Dec 8 and I send them the results . So anyway atleast I can say I seen a doctor at the interview!

I will PM you for the details. Thank you ever so much. And yes, we are beside ourselves with how this can be so much BS (excuse the language). 

It's absolutely unreal how the blame just keeps getting passed around from one agency to the other and no one can just say yes - you need to be scheduled ASAP

@ifh received an email back stating that yes, they are indeed interviewing DQ dates up to July 2021, but gave no help. Such a slap in the face.

@canuckchic we are in the same boat as you. We were DQ on March 11th, and we did not receive our interview letter. I've spoken to NVC twice (including a supervisor) and they said nothing is wrong; we are still waiting in the queue and they refused to investigate. I sent an email to the US Embassy in Montreal and they at least said they will investigate. I've also contacted my US Senator and I am waiting for them to respond. So incredibly frustrating and heartbreaking!

 

If anyone would be willing to assist us in the same way, it would be greatly appreciated.

This probably isn't what you want to hear but if it helps any we were DQ'd on Dec 14 2020 and I finally got my interview appointment for Dec 1 2021

[MarioAllison 5]

Another question. I heard that police reports are now good for 2 years. Just wondering if anyone had could confirm that from experience?

Yes, people on this thread have submitted police certificates older than one year and had no issues.

I think I have offically lost hope that any of these all consuming attempts are going to change anything for us. So far it's all lead to people who are unwilling to admit anything or help in any way. 

I am thankful to everyone who's offered to help!

@dmitch so sad to hear of more and more people in the same boat - I am sorry for your family as well! 

May I ask the email for the US Embassy?

It seems even with my "proof" no one will even take the information from me on the phone, I also spoke with a supervisor. And even though the Congress rep said the NVC told him we could submit proof, this supervisor said there was nothing he could do and he didn't know who would tell us that and wouldn't even take the info I had to prove our situation.

Thank you, @canuckchic. The email for the Montreal Embassy is Montreal-IV-DV@state.gov. I think the more people they hear from the better.

@MarioAllison You must be over the moon to finally have your interview. May I ask, did you do anything after you saw you were getting passed over or just wait it out?

[Fobosdaemios 24]

Hello everyone,

It has been abit over 90days and I haven't received my physical greencard yet. Where can I submit an  inquiry and ask about the green card?

Thanks!

Consular officer told me at my interview that they will accept them for 2 years, even though I had gotten a new one and wasted $75 on it.
