Are you of EB category ?

Also have you got any unsolicited updates recently ?

Just a general question, for how long the Police Certificate is valid? 1 year or 2 years?

One.  My husband is out of AP just a few days ago.  His was issued in September 2022 (interview July 2023) and was asked for a new one

They did not request police record for me. My interview was April 5 2023

Lol 😂 Much confusion. Might be prudent to send the Montréal Consulate an email to confirm if an oversight on their part.  Another person here on VisaJourney posted they were requested to send in the passport which the Consulate had kept at the interview!

 

Someone else on this forum received the proceed notification email (request for passport, etc) from the Consulate directly, not the Yatri support system 

 

Consider this: Neither email (received two/ read below) we received from the “Yatri” support system requested the 2 Passport pics; however, the Consulate itself replied to a Congressional Inquiry two days after we received the support system email asking for the requirements to proceed, and that response DID mention the 2 passport pics (along with passport, updated medical, and RCMP Cert)

 

We also received two separate “Yatri” emails (one did not contain the link to arrange for courier delivery), so errors are common.  It seems to me the communication lines between the “support system” generating these approval/documents request emails and the Consulate can be flawed

if it were good for two years my husband’s RCMP Cert would not have expired until September 9 of this year

I'm having a hard time locating the spreadsheet. I had it saved on my phone but cannot locate the sheet so i think perhaps my child deleted the note or something. Can someone help me with the link?

I have been waiting since November 2023 and I received another unsolicited update. This update was on August 8. The last update was June 28. Really hoping they ask me for my passport soon.

They also did not request a new police certificate from my husband (April 2023 interview)

Quite frankly, it’s quite puzzling.  Did your “happy email” come from the Yatri “support system” (donotreply@usvisa-info.com), OR the Consulate?
