They also offer pickup (regular and premium) option. 

 

 

What option did you pick that was the fastest?

I opted for the "premium" where the courier delivers the passport/packets to my wife's address. I'm just waiting on tracking numbers and emails since my wife and kid was just recently ISSUED a few days ago.

Spouse/Wife (IR-1) - been married since 2020

Minor Stepchild (IR-2) - known the child since 2020

Both have their own case numbers

Applied around April 2023 (I-130s) - started this entire process

Uploaded docs to CEAC website around April 2024

Both were documentararily approved around August 2024

First interview date (Jan 29 25) scheduled for wife - notified around November 2024

Asked for NVC/Montreal to merge stepchild with wife's original interview date around November 2024

Emailed Congressman to help merge stepchild's interview date and successfully around December 2024

Montreal embassy cancelled/rescheduled a new interview date (Jan 14 2025) around Christmas week of December 2024

Emailed Montreal embassy to merge stepchild's old interview date (Jan 29) with wife;snew interview date around December 30 2024 - no response

Contacted Congressman (on Jan 9 2025) to help merge stepchild's old interview date with wife's new interview date (Jan 14) - successfully merged with spouse on 1/10/2025

Embassy interview for both spouse and child on Jan 14, 2025 @ 9:45 AM EST - Verbally approved and Child Visa ISSUED same day but wife's CEAC status is still READY.

Jan 15, 2025 - Checked at 7:45 AM EST, spouse's status still says READY but at 10:23 AM EST, shows ISSUED !!!

Purolator labels created on Jan 17 and expected arrival on Jan 20 for the passports and packages.

I'm not sure if this info from Purolator is correct but it stated that the label was created this past Friday (Jan 17) and it's in transit to my wife's house in Cambridge, Ontario. And that it should arrive tomorrow (Monday Jan 20).

I will update thist thread if it's true (arriving tomorrow) or not.

Purulator showed up while I was out running errands...eventhough I was home all day yesterday (initially they stated that it would arrive yesterday). Now, I'll have to go pick it up tomorrow from Puralator.
