K1 MTL 2025 AP/'Refused' Support Group?

[randomuser122333 0]

Wanted to start a thread to see if anyone else recently interviewed at MTL and has been 'Refused' on CEAC. My partner reached out to his congressmans office about it since MTL took my passport and verbally approved me, they got back to us and said our case is in 221g Administrative Processing, no time frame

 

I interviewed Jan 6th, 2025 and it was pretty straightforward, she took my passport and verbally approved me, said I'll get my passport back in 2 weeks. I provided them with the originals and photocopies of every document they asked for, and they had received my medical well in advance before my interview, so its most likely not a missing information thing. Really bummed out and stressed about it. My case on CEAC had updated on Jan 6th, 13th, 14th, 16th, and stayed on Refused.

 

Holiday season just ended and I'm sure probably backed up with extra mail from the month long Canada Post strike in November, so I can't say I'm totally surprised, but it does suck seeing others on reddit and stuff interviewing for IR1/CR1s at the same time I did and getting their passport back in the same week lol

 

Lets keep each other updated?

All cases go through AP.  All cases will be statused as "refused" until AP is cleared.  If your name is common, if it's the same as another person's, if you've visited other countries, etc can all delay AP.  

 

Montreal is traditionally a slow consulate.  There were delays because of President Carter's funeral, MLK Day and the Inauguration with some moving targets with some executive orders being signed.  If you didn't receive a 221g or the notification to watch for a DS-5535, I'd chill out for a bit here.  As I'm sure you've realized, there is absolutely nothing fast about immigration.
