    That’s 100% not accurate. Blocked CNs sometimes require coordination between KCC and embassies in order to unblock the case, so that the applicant can ultimately submit a DS260. Here’s an example, where a DS-260 has not been submitted yet. You can tag Brit Simon if you’d like, I’m done with this convo.

    It gets sent off for clearance with one or more three letter agencies, who run your information. There are different types of “hits” and each has a protocol.

    Administrative Processing status in CEAC is often associated with the visa printing process nowadays. Congrats!

    Wow, that brought back memories, as virtually the same thing had happened to us. The tone of the convo was very much “Enjoy where you’re moving to!” and then bam, confused face at monitor, flips through paperwork, undoes all his organization and steps away. Comes back with 221g slip and our thus began our descent into hell.

    Alright let me rephrase: @Simeon Mezie Cole, contact KCC. Their phones are still closed, so you’ll have to email them. In the event your CN IS blocked, they may refer you to an embassy for identity verification. @jan22 Happy?

    Correct, the case is not at the embassy, but applicant has to verify identity at an embassy in order to unblock the CN. The applicant can’t fly to Kentucky for that can they?

    Love that for you! Congrats. Thanks for coming back to update everyone.

    That is the address where you want your green card mailed after you enter the US. Are you only just filling your DS-260 now? It’s really late in the year

    I don’t think they can see that. Just speculation of course. When my spouse crossed before me, they asked where I was, and my spouse had to tell them I was still in AP.

    Ah, then yeah looks like you’ll have a 221g slip with your passport. Sometimes the CO recommends approval at interview but a supervisor overrides it later upon review. Wish you luck!
  11. throwitaway
    Montreal either keeps or returns your passport at interview, and applicants have had to request for them back when necessary. Some embassies though will keep your passport at interview, perhaps the CO meant to issue, but it’s later mailed back with a 221g slip.

    Your CN is blocked. Happens sometimes when there are too many unsuccesful logins. You’ll need to contact your local US embassy for an appointment to verify your identity before they can unblock it for you. I’m going to be honest though, it’s quite late to be at this stage. What’s your CN and embassy?
  13. throwitaway
    I do wonder why they’re so hard on Canadians, it’s baffling.
  14. throwitaway
    No, you just say you had an interview there. There’s nothing to hide really, you’re not breaking any rules.
  15. throwitaway
    There’s no usual rhythm: date updates happen whenever the file is opened, which could be for any number of reasons. Usually when a medical is received consular staff open the file and it updates, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the application will be adjudicated by a CO right away.
  16. throwitaway
    You don’t submit your passport until you are cleared. If they wanted to keep your passport, they wouldn’t give it back to you at the interview.
  17. throwitaway
    Congrats! Thanks for adding that data point. Your patience is impressive.

    Montreal’s parameters seem pretty liberal, none of us here know what triggers it. Timeline is several months to a year plus. 5535 was sent to me same night of interview. Don’t send it pre-emptively, they have instructions for how they’d like to receive it, but feel free to start drafting it as the template is easily found online. Yes you can still travel, all the same rules apply.
  19. throwitaway
    Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
  20. throwitaway
    Montreal-IV-DV@state.gov I got it the same night
  21. throwitaway
    Oh for sure, it’s better than no updates at all! The date updates happen when your file is opened for whatever reason, so at the very least you know you are not forgotten.
  22. throwitaway
    You didn’t do anything wrong. If the CO wanted to deny you, they would have, instead you’re in 221g which can be overcome - and for most people, it does. Eventually. I was once there too.

    https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=IV Use the above^
  24. throwitaway
    Do you mean you checked ceac.state.gov? Your status should currently be “Refused,” that’s the only way to track your case
  25. throwitaway
    You’ve made several inaccurate statements so far.
