It mean your administrative processing is complete and CO will review the outcome of AP. Once the review is complete you will get Medical and Passport Request. Hope this will help. This reply is based on Montreal consulate replies in the past

Importing a car to US via land border personally
Leo The Great replied to Leo The Great's topic in Canada
We imported our vehicle via Buffalo land border without any problem. Whole process took 20 minutes. You need to have compliance letter from car manufacturer, EPA 3501-1 form and DOT HS-7 Form, original registration, vehicle purchase agreement and recalls fixed. Officer sent assistant to check EPA sticker ,VIN, year of manufacturing sticker on the car. CBP officer typed three forms on the computer and returned us the stamped forms including 7501 form for DMV. There is no duties on the car manufactured for Canada. -
It is an immigrant fee $235 you need to pay to receive green card USCIS Immigrant Fee | USCIS
-
We received only passport and a page with instructions how to pay fee and no other documents. All documents are electronically available to CBP these days

Importing a car to US via land border personally
Leo The Great replied to Leo The Great's topic in Canada
Thanks for the info. Two follow up questions 1. Does permission letter need to be notarized? 2. In addition to drive it with permission letter, one parent can also import the vehicle via land border that is registered on other parent’s name correct? -
Yes. If it is awaiting review by consular, it mean your AP is done. Visa will be issued once consular approve your case

We are driving our car to US Peace Bridge land border to import it to US. We got compliance letter (with both parent names on it) from manufacture and all recalls have been repaired. We have couple of question with regards to US custom. 1. if the ownership/sale agreement of the car is on both parents name's but the registration is on my mother name and father is driving alone to border for import it, would there be any problem. Do mother needs to write consent letter and sign all forms or father signatures are good enough? Both parents are green card holder and immigrated to US this year. 2. Can my father carry now tires and other personal stuff in it or it would create an issue at US custom while importing?

Congrats!! Yes it is from legit source

We got 5 unsolicited updates in 3 weeks duration and received the request for medical and passport. The clearance was infact received on first update. Rest of the updates seemed to be related to internal review by consulate
-
I know I can just cross border with Canadian vehicle and keep it in US up to one year without US registration. Can we properly import vehicle without compliance letter using import forms? Our Canadian vehicle has safety recall related to fuel injectors and the Honda USA refused to issue compliance letter until it is fixed and Honda Canada does not parts inventory since 1 year and they are not ready to fix problem if the vehicle is running fine.

You do not need to update any travel history after the submission of DS-5535 nor it will delay your processing. Keep the thing simple.

Yes, We crossed the border and returned to Canada earlier this year because 2nd visa was in AP. The green card was delivered to the US address but SSN was not delivered beside we checked the option in the DS-260 form. So we had to go to SSN after 5 weeks(On next visit to US) to get it (SSN# was available from same office next day) and later physical card was delivered to US address

Transfer money from Canadian bank to US bank after selling property
Leo The Great replied to Leo The Great's topic in Canada
Bank rates seems to be much lower than the exchange companies CAD->USD. We seems to be losing 3-4% of money if we use our bank for exchange. Would bank give us the better rate if we are transferring a large sum of money from property sale? Anyone has prior experience getting better rate with the bank? -
