I’ll update it once I get my passport back and finalize things! I really want to give back since my journey had so many ups and downs.

I want to let everyone know that I got “ISSUED” this morning — total 3 or 4 business day if you count today. Thank you for the reassurance and I know I was probably overreacting but it was hard not to 🫠

Got a 221(g) - should I have sent pictures with passport?

From the time you sent it in March 5th to when you received it back, did you reach out to the consulate or just trusted in the process? I'd so so impatient. -

During this entire time, did you reach out to the Montreal Consulate for an update or you just patiently waited?

Thank you - that’s good to know. I assume they’re doing final checks before they issue the visa but it’s always worrisome to me since you feel so close to the finish line. It’s really testing my patience for sure.

Thank you! It’s definitely a mental trap for sure. My husband said if I didn’t have this info, would I be this stressed. The answer is likely no (likely because I’d probably be stressed anyways). I think the comparisons are the driving forces especially same visa class as well. I hope so. I’m trying to manifest positivity.

I attended my interview last Wednesday and got approved. The next day was the federal holiday so Friday, they might be scrambling with staff on holiday. How long does it take for them to change the status to issued? That usually means the visa is being printed? My last case update was Jan 10 / last Friday but my status still sits at Ready. Someone else I know has it changed already but still waiting for tracking info. This whole process has been anxiety inducing so I’m clearly being impatient but I’ve seen more the side of people getting their status updated to issued and passport returned within days than it taking a few days.

small wins, I'll take it

It's August 2022. I'm far from being current so waiting for my spouse to apply for naturalization next year to get upgraded.
-
I'm F2A and not current at the moment but our I-130 was approved after a little over a year this September but we had to file a I-824 to transfer from AOS to Consulate Processing which surprisingly got approved a little over 2 months. I-130 status got updated last week that it was sent to Department of State. Since I am F2A category, will I / and my petitioner receive a Welcome Email just to acknowledge that NVC received it or this won't happen until we're current.
-
My I-824 got approved late last week so I'm just waiting for the welcome letter now from NVC. Unfortunately, I need to wait for my partner to naturalize next year so I can get upgraded from F2A.
-
Congrats!! How long did it take you to receive your welcome letter from NVC after you got notified that your I-130 was being transferred to the department of state / NVC?
-
My I-824 got updated the next day to approved! I guess a delay? Case Tracker updated I-130 sent to Department of State on Nov 21, then on Nov 22, Case Tracker updated I-824 was approved (same for USCIS online account) as well. I'm surprised as well that it was so fast. We still need to wait though because I'm F2A so nothing is going to happen until my partner naturalizes next year so nothing has changed in the overall timeline atm.

I-824 to send approved I-130 to NVC - post here and support each other

My case status updated today and my I-130 got sent to Department of State! It's been hard feeling excitement since I got the update while I was in a meeting and this process has been so numb-stakingly painful that I still don't know how to feel. I wanted to update everyone. Our 824 status has not updated yet though -- we sent in that form 824 on September 27th and received an update today, November 21. 55 days in total and it was NBC.
