haha of course! Thanks for the reply, my passport expires next year so trying to gauge when I should renew it.

Did they ever respond to your sending in your new passport details?

Such a quick turnaround, that’s amazing! I’m not sure about having it mailed to the US - I think you have to go to the border to have it activated? Someone else could probably answer better as I’m doing the K1 visa

Yes, congrats!! It’s usually pretty quick after receiving this email and submitting your documents! when was your interview?

Amazing, congrats!!! When was your interview, Oct 2023?

May I ask when your interview was? And you got the email to send your passport back?! Congrats! 🥳

Yes this is a great sign!! You were August 2023 right?

hoping this is a good sign of things to come!! When was your interview?

definitely seems promising!! Crossing my fingers for you, keep us posted

Oh good to know! Please keep my updated

Has anyone renewed their passport while waiting in AP? Mine expires next year

I think the formatting on the Open Tracking Only table is messed up

@sikeDS-5535dbyMTL At my interview I was given a piece of paper that said this: “Please visit **ais visa info site** and look for instructions on Sending Documents to the Consular Section You must have your passport number. date of birth, nationality, case number, and visa category for each applicant ready (principal applicant and all family members, including children) lo access the website When prompted to, please select "Trip Purpose and "Permanently Immigrating to the US-Register for Couner Services Only After entering your information you will be prompted to select a Canada Post location You will use Canada Post to send documents to the Consulate and the Consulate will return documents to you via Canada Post only Please be sure to register for each applicant including children. DO NOT schedule any additional appointments. Electronic cases: If your case is electronic based, please scan ALL new documentation before mailing to the Immigrant visa section via courier. Please refer to the following link for more information on scanning documents to your immigrant visa case:”

That’s awesome! Any guesses on why you were given DS-5535 at your interview?

congrats!! When was your interview?!

Congrats!!!!

What a fun message to receive 🥲 good luck and I hope it is a good sign of positive things to come!!

I sent an email last week and also never got the automatic reply.

If you’re downtown, I went to CII Fingerprinting on Bloor and St George and they were great.

This is amazing, congrats!!! Definitely keep us posted on the timeline of next steps

Well that’s a relief! Somewhat… 😂 yikes 3 months.

I didn’t get an automated reply this time though!

I emailed them today sending an additional document and never got an automated reply…I hope this doesn’t mean my email address is marked as spam 😬 Crazy that is takes 3 weeks to get an email response.

yup, same thing with me

I submitted my DS5535 yesterday and also emailed them a PDF of it as some of my travel info didn’t fit - obviously haven’t heard back yet. My CEAC status hasn’t updated since it turned to REFUSED on Friday. Glad we are in this together though. Did they give you your passport back?
