  3. PZibran325
    OH MY GOD YESSSSS!!!!! I'm so happy for you. I'd say that's 5k well spent. Please keep the rest of us in your prayers.

    But this is still movement as opposed to being stagnant which is where you were for several years. My friend, the end is near and I am so happy for you. You truly do have cause to be positive

    In similar boat as you except our interview was a month after yours in July of 2022. I hope this is the month for us

    That's rather confusing, I've only heard of that happening if some information is missing or needs to be updated or if it's been over a year since the DS-260 was signed (and you haven't had your interview yet). In your case, the only thing that is possible is info needs updating (i.e. the medical), it may take them a minute to indicate that and what else (if anything) needs updating. You've been patient this long, give them another month or so. At least there is movement on your case, even if it is still endlessly frustrating. Who is your law firm btw?

    Most people have waited 6 months before going for a WOM some have gone ahead at the 4 month mark and others have waited much longer. It really depends on you and what your lawyer says. However, as one of the members recently pointed out it is holiday season so it may be prudent to wait until February at the very least.

    The last paragraph hits a nerve for sure, unfortunately those who have used unlawful methods get to be with their loved ones. Those of us who followed the law are treated like this. Tragic and disappointing to say the least
  13. PZibran325
    UGH! I super hate this. i really wish your case gets resolved too because it's super depressing to see someone waiting so long and counting
  14. PZibran325
    wait what????has it been 3.5 years since your interview???????
  15. PZibran325
    They do not usually call for a second interview that I have heard of. One of the reasons you may not have received an answer is because yours is a very specialized case. Hopefully someone else facing similar circumstances can answer, but otherwise you might not get an answer unless you consult an attorney. Also you have not been placed in AP yet. Let's hope you won't have to face those circumstances, but it might be worthwhile to wait and see what happens and cross that bridge when you get there.

    Hi Deep2ca, just out of curiosity when were you placed in AP? was that in 2019?
  17. PZibran325
    Sigh sigh sigh sigh * infinity I don’t even know what to say about this insanity anymore
  18. PZibran325
    I’m so so so sorry about this. I wish I could do something for you but at the very least I can pray for you
  19. PZibran325
    @emergence the below website seems to reiterate what @ice-qube has been suggesting all along that the AP is being used as a legal mechanism to buy time for decision making while the additional background and security checks are performed. It suggests that while AP has historically been infrequent, it is now being used to kick the can down the road so to speak. I highly recommend checking out this URL Lippes Mathias Law Firm

    Not a whole lot of this process is understandable unfortunately. But I am praying all of us start hearing some good news in near future.
  21. PZibran325
    It looks like they're saying that if you've already had your interview to check the status after two business days. Has it been 2 business days yet? If not, I'd see what it changes to on the third business day.
  22. PZibran325
    That might be true they might have something in the system that says they haven’t yet had time to go over documents prior to the interview and so the interviewee gets flagged. However, I have also read in my research elsewhere that the U.S. consular officer decides on the day of the visa interview which applicants must complete the DS-5535 and “the system flagged you” maybe a standard thing they say as opposed to saying I’ve decided we need to vet you further. It could also be a combination where you can get flagged by the system but even if the system doesn’t flag you the Co may decide it is necessary. regardless at the end of the day or still seems absurd from the outside looking in to be putting Canadian passport holders through extreme vetting

    * the last line was supposed to be "Also do note that once the case is in AP it is not necessarily the consulates job to perform checks, so they clear their own queue but pass the buck to someone else." *sigh*
  24. PZibran325
    It helps them clear the interview queue. They have a backlog of interviews from covid times during which they were working under limited operations so they were not scheduling many interviews during that time they had an appropriate excuse for not being able to scheudle interviews in a timely manner. Now that that "emergency" is over and they are back to full operations there is pressure to schedule interviews in a timely manner. There's not much of an excuse they can give to delay interviews, so they have been scheduling those in a timely manner however that may have resulted in them not having the time to perform additional checks on the documents they have received from the NVC which they would have under normal circumstances. So while they have scheduled interviews in a timely manner, they haven't necessarily been able to perform second checks on the interviewees documents etc. So some of us believe this is why they put applicants under AP and push that part down the line. Because with AP they can keep saying there is not time limit for that process but for setting interviews they cannot say that. It's circular and convoluted and only pushes the bucket down the line, but I hope that clears up why some of us think that way. Also do note that once the case it is not necessarily the consulates job to perform checks, so they clear their own queue but pass the buck to someone else.

    I'm not sure if I understand the thought process behind extreme vetting (which is what DS 5535 is ) of Canadian passport holders who can easily cross the border without ever going through the immigration process. Regular background checks and clearances should in general be enough. I don't think it is a process that should be used as frequently as it seems to be used by the Montreal consulate. I know many have disagreed with you in the past when you have suggested they are using it to clear their interviewing queues, but I'm inclined to consider that is probably the reason for putting so many through AP. Especially since During the course of my research, I have read that The U.S. consular officer decides on the day of the visa interview which applicants must complete the DS-5535. So it would seem that It is gross ineptitude and inefficiencies on their part that has lead to such alarmingly increasing numbers of AP with DS 5535 . Other than this possibility, putting Canadian passport holders through this process seems to defy logic regardless of whether it takes months or years to clear. As for the WOM, I understand it is being delayed for you have you seen it being delayed for others?
