Congratulations! My case is EB2, documents mailed on September 29th and haven't heard anything yet! -
I wish I had the option, like you did.
-
Thanks for the update
-
Ok, so I know I am at the end of this queue, since my case is not even DQ'd yet. But I am getting very confused and disappointed. The newest issue is the "case review" timelines by NVC (which I am monitoring to see when I will get DQ'd). Just yesterday, it said as of October 10, they were reviewing cases received on October 3rd (1 week behind). Today, it says as of October 16th, they are reviewing cases received on August 17th!! So they went back by 2 months??? This is the same as what they have done with the consular updates (back to Jan 2021 from April 2022).
-
Ah, frustrating. NVC seems to be just about copy paste template answers
-
Doesn't hurt. Let us know what you find, I will also look into this and share what I find.
-
Thanks for sharing this! A few things: 1- The inquiry you have sent (and the link you provided) is to NVC, which is part of the Department of State, not USCIS. 2- That being said, I still believe you have done the right inquiry, since this is a matter that the Department of State should address, not the USCIS which is under the DHS. 3- You mentioned economic-based visa, did you mean employment based visa? This topic is for EB2 interviews which is "Employment Based". Thanks again, I will also submit an inquiry.

It's just odd!
-
Yup, you need someone who can figure out the taxes properly. Also, beware of the Green Card requirements. There are two different but related requirements for physical presence and residency...
-
Not quite sure, but the biggest thing would be tax. Yes, you need to determine which country you are a resident of, from the Tax perspective. Will you need to commute? Where will you live while on the job hunt?
-
All, some historical analysis on the EB-2 visas issues by MTL per month - July 2023 is an outlier.
-
1- Please be respectful - telling others what to say and what not to say is "nonsense". 2- You can decide to not read what you don't like 3- The forum does not get "full". There is space for all respectful discussions 4- They are not doing "us" a "favor"! It is the LAW of the US, a country that is built based on lawful immigration! 5- No one was going to sue them. The previous comment mentioned others had previously done that, to no avail. We are trying to find ways to push them to provide additional resources to clear the backlog quicker. Do you have any problems with that? 6- I question your approach to fixing problems. Instead of finding solutions, you propose changing the entire issue? Instead of fixing a backlog, you suggest changing the Visa Category??? lol
-
I suggested a petition, but that seems to not have worked before! Not sure if contacting the Embassy in Ottawa, or Department of State would yield anything. They mention MTL is the only post with trained staff on IVs, I was hoping to push them to provide more resources even perhaps in other posts to reduce the backlog.
-
1- Where did you get these stats from? 2- Unrelated to this, did anyone figure out why the Consular Operations Updates went back to Jan 2021 instead of Apr 2022?
-
I wish I could move it to another post...
-
That seems to be exactly th case. I wonder if it's worth trying to launch a petition to ask USCIS / Department of State to add resources to Montreal or another Consulate General in Canada to assist with the backlog? Not sure if they care though.
-
I wouldn't imagine it has anything to do with Canada. This is a US operation, happens to be in Canada.
-
And: NVC schedules appointments with the consulate in the order they DQ cases. Let's say your priority date is 1 month after me, and we're both current. If you send your documents but I take longer to send them, who should be scheduled first? It would be you.
-
Thanks, it is disappointing, but looks like it is what it is...
-
This is super helpful! Thank you - just adjusting my expectations. Hopefully things get better with Montreal.
-
Hope someone with similar situation could answer you...
-
Can anyone post a sample of a recent Interview Letter? My question is what is in it? Does NVC specify the date and time of the appointment that they have booked for you with the consulate? And how far in the future do they book the interviews? I see the average time it took for ILs to go out after DQ is around 55 days and the average interview date after DQ is around 600 days. Does this mean that your Interview Letter points to your interview date in almost 1.5 years from the time you receive your IL? What did your IL say in terms of the date they booked your appointment? I am trying to find out when I would be able to know my interview date. Thanks!
-
What did you do the first time, when you registered for the first appointment? It should not be different than that.
-
Just noticed the same thing! It should be a copy and paste error, how could they go back from April 2022 to January 2021?? Honestly, this shows you cannot trust what goes in those updates that much!
