Well here we are at the end of another day with no updates again. 12 days to go on medical, tomorrow will be 11 days to go. I am really upset. My wife just dismisses it and admonished me for "obsessing", and well, maybe I am, yes. I can't seem to help it. This is very demoralizing for me.

na not obsessive. Its pretty much putting your life on hold and the reason that its happening is almost unjustifiable. All our files have been thoroughly vetted, this new process that was created just makes no sense.

Correct. I cannot believe really. Then you have all these people who think they know stuff and don't, making out like I must not be doing something right or something! that infuriates me when i hear people talk s---. It just adds to the insult to all of it.

Exactly. It feels like life has been on a standstill for two years even when all documents are proper and other applications have given you a green light to proceed. The waiting game of of AP impacts you mentally.

I wish my wife understood, but whatever. For her, she is nice and comfortably adjusted back to her old life in Miami (she has been back living there 2.5 years already!), while I am just waiting here wondering when will be the day when I can finally rejoin her and start my new life. I feel awful about it.

That kind o people just make things worse,  in this thread was someone who used to comment that I hate all his/her comments  because it’s easy when you pass your process without any issues and you are just taking about something you don’t know or something you’re not dealing with.

It's hard not to obsess about it since it feels like you are trapped and can't go anywhere. My husband and I feel distraught from this process and the only way we cope with this is just not to think about it too much and keep ourselves busy.

 

We can only do what is requested but ultimately, the decision making is in their hands. The inefficiency of this process really gets to me though.

It's is the ambiguity of it all that gets to me. Why were we selected? What was found in our initial paperwork that raised suspicion? Why couldn't they tell us before Montreal that we will be denied and to submit the DS5535? How much longer do we have to wait? What happens when our medical expire? This invisible wall has left us with so many unanswered questions and when they do answer our questions, its very vague.

 

I also wonder if our own government knows what is happening to us? Although the DOS has the final decision, I think as their strongest allies, surely they know the RCMP and CSIS has reliable information that is shared between them to determine our "threat" levels. 

 

It's hard to not lose hope in this process when there is no end insight.

My wife has a different personality and a different point of view, I suppose. Perhaps it is even a superior personality, or mine is grossly inferior. All I know is that this has weighed on me a lot lately, I feel like I am just in a permanent limbo and can't do anything about it.

Your are right, exactly. Why not tell me to submit the DS-5535 BEFORE coming to Montreal? I have not a single thing to hide, and the information is all there. Canada is not a strange country with unreliable record-keeping. What I am being reviewed for?

Yep, that kind of person is infuriating.

All of this is so unnecessary. *Bangs head against the wall*

HI,

I got request from consulate to send new medical report with police certificate, photo and passport as my previous medical report expired. I completed medical for second time on January 2022. Doctor informed me that they will send the report electronically due to new covid-19 rule.  However, they still unable to send the report and waiting for solution from consulate although medical report was ready 1.5 month ago. Please suggest me what can I do in this situation?

did they ask you to complete the medical in January 2022? if so, i would let the consulate know it was done and also ask the doctor if they in fact sent the files over. also its been two years since you did your police cert? thats a long time waiting!

 

can you give us a timeline of when you did your interview and when you got your DS 5535?

Yes. they asked me for new medical report on January 2022. I informed them by email that I completed the medical. response was "Any further processing of this immigrant visa case has been suspended until we receive the requested medical report".  My interview was on July 2019 and I sent DS-5535 on the next day. However, case processing of EB2 was suspended some times because of Presidential Proclamation (P.P.) 10014.

i would confirm with your doctor that they did send the report over and then email the consulate again that the medical was sent in january. They are able to confirm about receipt of medical
