I had my interview on September 6th, but the status still shows "READY." I find it confusing that the officer mentioned we should expect our passports within 10 days if they knew the visas wouldn’t be ready until after October 1st. My assumption is that when they invite an applicant, they reserve a visa for them, which counts toward the available visas. Once all visas are either reserved or issued, they announce that the fiscal year's limit has been reached. here is what I think will happen:

Thanks! The officer didn’t provide any information about the availability of the EB1 visas. At the end of the interview, he only mentioned that my visa was approved, they would retain the passports, and I should expect to receive them in about ten days. He also mentioned they would try to expedite the return of the passports so I could get back to work and my children could return to school. If, as you mentioned, EB1 visas won’t be available until the next fiscal year (October 1st), why are they scheduling interviews in early September?

I was born in Morocco with dual citizenship Moroccan-Canadian

My E1 visa was approved. I spent about 20 minutes with the first officer, who verified my employment letter and civil documents. Then, I had a brief interview with the second officer, who asked standard questions such as how long I’ve been with my U.S. company, the nature of my work, my highest degree, and if I’ve had any issues crossing the U.S. border. Behind the officer, there were about seven people who appeared to be in training, which suggests they are expanding their capabilities. Good luck to everyone.

I had mine last Friday. It went really well. The agents are very helpful.

2550 Finch Ave W, North York, ON M9M 2G3 here it is, it took me a couple of weeks trying to find a pharmacy in the US that can do it with no luck. After my medical exam I start calling pharmacies in Toronto. After several attempts, I found this one . Good luck!

I am not sure if you have solved the Covid vaccine issue. If not, I can give you the name of the pharmacy in Toronto that they still have it. I just got it today.

I also booked the appointment with the same doctor and didn't notice the "within the last year" requirement in the vaccination table. My last COVID vaccination was in May 2021, and I was not planning to get a booster. I will call them to ask about this and find out what to do if the vaccine is not available.

Q. Certain vaccine series can only be completed with multiple visits to the civil surgeon. Am I required to complete the entire series before the civil surgeon can sign the Form I-693? A. You are only required to receive a single dose of each vaccine when you visit the civil surgeon. You are encouraged to follow up with your private health care provider to complete the series. Once you have received the single dose appropriate at the time, the civil surgeon can sign and certify the Form I-693. The COVID-19 vaccine is the exception to this requirement. You must complete the COVID-19 vaccine primary series (for example, 1 or 2 doses, depending on which vaccine, in adults; 2 or 3 doses, depending on age and which vaccine, in children) and provide documentation of vaccination to the civil surgeon in person before completion of the medical examination. For more information about the COVID-19 vaccination requirement see the CDC Technical Instructions.

From where did you get the information about less than one year requirement? I couldn’t find it in the following music link: https://www.uscis.gov/tools/designated-civil-surgeons/vaccination-requirements

Congratulations! Same here! I also received my IL. EB1 DQ on May 16, 2023.

Thank you once more. Regarding resetting the DQ date, we received a response from NVC stating that in my situation, I will retain the DQ date if I need to move between consulates. Below is the excerpt from their email addressing the reset question: I hope this will help others!

Thank you for your quick reply. I am uncertain about the 2-3 months timeline for AOS, as my lawyer had mentioned 14 months a year ago, but now suggests it could be as short as six months. However, my primary concern revolves around my son's inclusion in my application. He moved back to Canada when he turned 21, and I aim for him to receive his Green Card simultaneously.

Two weeks ago, I successfully requested the transfer of my EB1 application to my home country. This alteration requires our family to relocate from the USA to our home country once we receive the interview letter. This transition may disrupt my children's schooling and result in considerable expenses. Considering Montreal's processing time is advancing twice as fast, I kindly seek advice from members of this forum on whether I should request the NVC to transfer my file back to Montreal.

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to seek some advice from you. Over five years ago, I relocated from Canada to the USA on a TN visa and transitioned to an O1 visa a year and a half ago. Like many here, I'm striving to obtain a green card (EB1) through consulate processing and my DG date is May 2023. I opted not to proceed with Adjustment of Status (AOS) to maintain travel flexibility. After nearly 10 months of waiting for an interview date and learning about the numerous issues with the Montreal consulate and their delayed issuance of Interview Letters (ILs), I consulted with an attorney about the possibility of transferring my application to the US consulate in my home country, Morocco. Before I proceed and request to NVC to relocate my case to Morocco, I have some questions and concerns I hope someone here can address: Will transferring my case from Montreal affect my DQ date? I hold dual citizenship but only possess a Canadian passport. Can I utilize the Canadian passport to apply for a US visa in Morocco? Thank you.

No progress yet in my EB1 case. My DQ is mid-May 2023, and the only communication I've received since then is the generic letter every 60 days from the NVC instructing me to continue waiting for the Montreal consulate. Good luck everyone.
-
It doesn't make sense that they didn't issue any IL since last May (over six months) knowing that they issue EB visas every month and the time between IL and visa issuance is about 2-3 months.

Good luck!

Nice reply!

You are right! We should not be suffering only because we had to apply through Montreal consulate and we should not be waiting ~2 years while others are only waiting for few months. We really need to figure out, as a group, what to do to change it. Any ideas?
