The dreaded DS-5535 thread for Montreal. Post here and support each other (split)

Any updates today? The consulate's going to be closed very often these next few weeks (Dec 24/27/28/31 & Jan3) so I guess today/tomorrow are the last possible days for good news until the new year.

Just checked CEAC. No change.

Guessing now we are not likely to have an answer before the new year.

Well near the end of the day on Dec 23 here, and no word. Looks almost certain now that my case is not going to be resolved in 2021. Sigh.

Welcome to our party! The only and best thing to do in these times is to be as inebriated as much as possible for the holidays and hope when we finally come to (maybe February, maybe March), it'll finally be issued for all of us! Yaaah! Happy holidays!!

Hi! Happy holidays to you as well. No one here has got their visa, except OGFan but be was approved mid November (after 45 days of waiting). One other person not on this thread was also approved recently after 50 days. Rest of us are waiting. Consulate will probably not do much work until the new year, so hoping for some good news then for everyone!

 

Edit: I'm thinking I should make a separate Excel sheet like the one on the main thread, that'll be easier for everyone to keep track of everyone's cases.

Will do! Did you also get refused/DS5535? If so, can you share your interview date/date you submitted DS5535/if you were asked to submit any other documents?

I would love to be included in the excel as well! Thanks @Danii!

Hey everyone, I put together an excel sheet. Let me know if there are any mistakes, I went through the pages very quickly so I may have forgot something. I also added the sheet to my signature. Let me know if there's anything else I should add/improve

Hey Danii, great excel sheet! Thanks for creating one, this will be so easy to track acceptances and any possible patterns. I forgot to mention that they requested my resume as well! I thought this was normal but I guess not.
