Hi guys,

I was just wandering if anyone is going through this same situation?

I did have my appointment January 11th in Montreal and sadly the criminal record I got from the RCMP was the wrong one and I was ask to send the correct one together with my passport which I was able to do that February 8th.

today is March 17th  and I haven’t heard anything from the consulate since then not even a confirmation if they received my passport with the correct documents I sent back.

any idea what I can do? Been stuck in Montreal for months now.

Thanks.

There are quite a few who needed to submit something or another after the interview. They will not email you when they receive the PC, as it will go to a mail room off site and then be upload or sent to the CO reviewing your case. At minimum it is about 8 weeks after receiving it. Sadly it can and has taken much longer then the 8 weeks. You can join the DS-5535 thread and read what others with an 221G are going through. Montreal is not fast what so ever.

A little late at this point, but in the future,  anything that gets mailed (especially something like the originals of Birth Certificates,  Passports etc,  best to send it Certified mail, return receipt requested, so someone has to sign for it.  At lest least,  send with a tracking number so you know it arrived.  Case in Point,  we have to turn in my wifes' original Naturalization Certificate for her US passport.  The post office said it would be returned by regular mail.  Regular Mail?  I asked "what if it gets lost"?  and she said,, "oh, that don't happen"  LOL... If lost, it's like $500 to replace it, plus the cost of the trip.

Hi guys,

I was just wandering if anyone is going through same situation I am in for the past 7 weeks?

I had my interview January 11th 2023 in Montreal and sadly the RCMP criminal record I did in Edmonton was the wrong one which I was sent home with my passport and asked to send in the correct one with my passport when ever I get it and was told they will email me a DS-5535 form which I got, completed same day and emailed back to the consulate.

February 8th my passport together with the correct criminal record from the RCMP was delivered by to the US consulate at 10:00am

My case was lastly updated March 6th still showing Refused thou.

Today is March 30th 2023 I have been stuck in Montreal. Does anyone have an idea how long this take? My wife heavily pregnant alone at home in Minnesota.

 

Thanks.

Pretty sad how slow the process can be.

It looks like your original issue was an incorrect PCC, but now that they’ve asked you for DS 5535 your situation changes. Missing documents are usually resolved in 6-8 weeks, but DS 5535 is extreme vetting and that doesn’t usually resolve in Montreal for many months, or a year plus for some. Wish you a speedy resolution!
