Sorry guys for the long silence. So update on our case::
We were DQed Sept 2020 and have been waiting in line. Sometime last year we had a baby and decided to add him as a derivative dependent on her case.
Before adding him, we had reached out to NVC to understand implications but all we got back was generic responses. After adding him, NVC reached out to say our DQ date will regress and start afresh from November 2022 which didn't make any sense. We then decided to plead our case with Montreal and requested for expedited interview. Montreal saw reason and approved the expedited request and our case is now moved to Montreal and we should hear back on our appointment date soon since Montreal will directly schedule the interview.
