Yes the congresswoman (or her staff) replied and said her office has sent an inquiry. That is all.

Mmm. Honestly my case was just coincidence because the senator office inquiry consulate after my case was updated but let’s hope that your inquiry make them work on your case because you have just a few last date updates in your case and we share almost the same timeline. 
 

A month ago I was updated 3 days in a row, it looks like that was the final check.

Alright everyone we are officially in the US and ready to start our lives in Seattle!

 

We picked up our passport today @DaniiThe border crossing went really well! It took only 15 minutes, they just asked for our address in the US and where we both were born. They didn’t look through the car but did ask if we had anything perishable. 

 

His visa in his passport expired 2/25/22 so we had only a few days to cross before it was too late. Crazy ride, what a freakin relief!!

 

good luck all, it’s comin’!

Since we're both immigrating to Florida, we should meet one day when we're both issued lol. It'd be cool to meet a Canadian who experienced hell with me. By then, we'll look at all of this like a good story to tell and laugh about, but for now, we're still crying. But you'll probably not want to because you'll wanna keep your confidentiality. Too early to look that far in advance though, lol.

I'd book that medical test again. Dr Chima needs some business

I went to Dr. Mascarenhas, but regardless I found out that I cannot book a new immigration medical without the consulate explicitly asking for it...

Another day came and went. Now tomorrow will be only 24 days to go on the medical expiry.

Guys, it was probably addressed already on one of the 119 pages of this thread, but are you able to visit the US while you're waiting?

So far I know two people who visited while in AP. Some people have avoided it as they worry it's risky, but at this point I think it's as risky as crossing while you were waiting for the interview. You may be turned around, but only if the officer decides to ask a lot of questions/you don't have any proof of ties to Canada (lease/proof of school enrollment/job contract/return ticket, always bring these with you). Sometimes they don't ask questions at all. I can't remember exactly who it was that crossed recently, but they briefly mentioned to the border officer that they are in the last step of the IR1 process and were allowed to cross without any problems.
