  1. Crossed the border by car earlier today into Michigan and activated my visa. I stated that I needed to activate my permanent residence and was directed to secondary inspection. Went inside, had my picture taken and the officer told me my visa was activated and that the cards would be sent. He told me he didn’t need the envelope with paperwork since it was all digital now and he didn’t take my fingerprints either. Not sure if others had the same experience recently. I will ask again when my wife and daughter activate their visas tomorrow on the Mexico-Texas border. As I was leaving, one officer told me “Welcome to Freedom”, and I laughed out loud. Best of luck to all and thank you to everyone that shared their experiences here. It’s a great community. Make Canada proud in the USA.
  2. Just received the passports back with visas. Will do one final update once I cross the border on Friday.
  3. Just received my tracking information. Label created but I cannot see when it will be delivered yet. Should be no more than 2 business days. Will keep everyone posted.
  4. I’m still waiting for a tracking number email…I thought it comes right after the issued status change.
  5. You can use the visa in your passport until your green card arrives. Upon entry it will be extended for one year upon initial activation.
  6. My status still says refused but it was updated again this morning. Any ideas as to why the status might get updated but still stay in the same category? Maybe it’s automated or goes into a different part of the consulate’s process?
  7. I sent the consulate an email today about this. Will post any response I receive.
  8. Yes but you will be required to pay without private US health insurance. It costs between USD150-200 per shot.
  9. Our status changed to “refused” in the evening of September 16, which was the day our our interview.
  10. I don’t think I was actually missed since my DQ was at the end of January 2023 which was the same month as the consular website update at that time. I just happened to be at the end of the month. Regardless, I did not contact them and just waited for the early August batch of ILs
  11. I happened to be just missed in the batch of interview letters that went out in April so I ended up being the longest between DW and IL.
  12. I just quickly summarized the same rationale that was in my petition. That was the advice my attorney gave me and the immigration officer just nodded in response. Best to mention your proposed endeavour in the US and the work you do and everything should be fine.
