I was just thinking yesterday how we haven't seen an update in almost 4 months. Congrats! I added the info you've provided in the spreadsheet. A couple of questions:

 

What day in Sept did they email you?

When did you send everything in?

 

Please keep us posted when you finally get the passport back in hand.

Huge congratulations! I'm sure you are immensely happy right now!

 

As an update, I interviewed early Feb 2023, sent in docs March 2023 and still have not had any updates whatsoever, other than the occasional update on the tracker. All of these updates corresponded to generic email responses I would get after emailing for updates though.

Thank you everyone!! This group gave me lots of hope and support during this tough period.  I received the request to send back my passport and for a new medical on Sept 25. Mailed them Oct 10. Only heard back today (Dec 14) that I was getting my passport back, received a purolator tracking number.

You should hear something soon based on recent progress.

 

Please let us know once you get a Medical request or an update.

Am at work at the moment so can't easily check the DQ date, but will give a rough estimate. Others I'm more certain of. 

 

DQ Date: Approximately December 2022

Interview Date: Feb 16th, 2023

Date I received the DS-5535: Feb 16th, 2023 (it was in my email by the time my flight back to Toronto had landed)

Date I sent in the DS-5535: Feb 19th

Date I filed my WoM: September 6th

Sorry - one more thing. Is it IR-1/CR-1 or something else? I think I remember you saying it was a spousal application
