    Don’t assign any meaning to status updates, it’ll drive you up the wall.

    PIC is who you should go with, they’re based in PA but will file the lawsuit in DC, which has general jurisdiction over federal agencies. You don’t sue over discrimination, you’ll lose that fight. You sue for unreasonable delay. The “unreasonable” bar is dependent on your specific case and a good lawyer will be able to advise you of when you should file, or if you should file. With that said, it looks like the interview just happened and there’s also a missing document? Be sure you use the Kenya reciprocity page: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Kenya.html Follow the instructions for the relevant document exactly, get that done and submitted to them before you start worrying about a lawsuit, in my opinion. On that portion alone they take about 6 weeks to even review new documents once they’ve received it.

    The missing police clearance is sent via the AIS website, where you registered for the courier. You just select the option “Consulate has requested documents” and it’ll spit out a label for you to bring to Canada Post. The 5535 will come by email, you reply to the email with the answers.

    Uhh.. you should probably touch base with your lawyer so they can explain the process to you.

    The lawsuit is filed and the government then has 60 days to respond. Sometimes they request extensions. You don’t really do anything until the government responds, which they either issue, extend, or fight. Whatever they do then informs your next steps.

    As usual, it’s discretionary, I know some people that went back and forth maybe 6-7 times before the final move and they didn’t get hassled until maybe the 4th time.. they always had a good reason to not have moved yet and it was well within the 12 month window, so they were waved through anyway. Personally, I’m over the hassle and stress of immigration so I’m keeping my final move as simple as possible and limiting the back and forth as much as I can.
  8. throwitaway
    They won’t, unless you keep coming back and forth, that’s usually when they start scrutinizing.

    They’re mostly useless, they get the same responses.

    I hear the MTL panel physician is actually the most difficult to book with least availability, and sometimes takes too long to actually submit the medicals, which leave a lot of people at interview with incomplete medicals. Personally, I wouldn’t cut it so close, and do the medical long before the actual interview date. There are 4 other physicians in Canada you can use, Mascerenhas in Toronto was pretty flexible for us and completed all the documentation in less than two weeks.

    The last time we got in a convo with you about this 21 posts were deleted because you kept arguing for immigration fraud 😅

    What’s the significance that it’s same sex?
  13. throwitaway
    5535 for sure
  14. throwitaway
    Def not my experience, but other embassies I’ve heard do it in places where panel physician are not electronically capable

    I must have read your initial post wrong, as I swear you said her name is Jennifer and is spelled as such on her passport, so I’m not sure why that one vs the BC would be corrected.
  17. throwitaway
    You should correct the BC. From NS Vital Stats: “Occasionally birth records need to be amended, when an error has been made or for another reason, such as adding the father’s name. If you would like to correct an error or omission that was made in the original Registration of Birth, contact the Nova Scotia Vital Statistics Office by calling (902) 424-4381 or by sending an e-mail to vstat@gov.ns.ca. In some cases, a change or correction to a person’s name does not require a legal change of name under the Change of Name Act. An agent of Vital Statistics will evaluate your request to find out whether your name can be corrected through the amendment process of the Vital Statistics Act.”

    Amazing, congrats!

    This is DS5535, so it‘s not just a PCC check. This is extreme vetting, and multiple agencies are now involved for clearance. The visa won’t be issued until all the agencies have returned with advisory. Montreal is infamous for this.
  20. throwitaway
    Hmm, you definitely should go to a deferred inspection site and get the record corrected. This could cause issues during naturalization.
  21. throwitaway
    Yes, but if you need it in the meantime you can ask for it back. Later, once they’re ready to issue the visa, they‘ll request it from you.
  22. throwitaway
    Thank you!

    There is an existing megathread about this: Medical is good only for 6 months from date of medical. Police certificate is good for two years, but they often ask for another one. DS5535 at Montreal is usually 6+ months.
  24. throwitaway
    Source for this? As far as I know Canadians should not exceed 6 months in a 12 month period, the presence is not reset upon return to Canada i.e; stay for 6 months, come back to Canada and return to the US with a new 6 month allowance. Diversity

    The Philippines’ Balikbayan program allows a one-year visa-free stay for Filipinos working overseas and for former Filipinos who have acquired citizenship in certain countries, like the United States. The visa-free stay privilege is extended to the balikbayan’s non-Filipino spouse and children, on the two conditions that (1) they enter the Philippines with the balikbayan and (2) they are citizens of an eligible country, like the United States. I am a former citizen of the Philippines and have returned to PI as Balikbayan.
