Hi many Congratulations, We tried to reach congressman, and we got response that they will contact USCIS on our behalf, I was like our case is at Montreal consulate why contacting USCIS, and tried to explain them, and now waiting for their reply, I want to know, when we request congressman, they contact directly to Montreal consulate or they contact USCIS first, though we tried to explain them clearly about the whole case which is currently in AP. anyways, if they contact through email to Montreal consulate do they send an email to the same email address (montreal-iv-dv@state.gov) where we send for inquiry or they have any other way of inquiring, I am asking because if representative of congressman is unaware of the process then we can share this email address with them. Its been like more than 12 days we submitted request if they can inquire on our behalf, and still they have not done it. Please guide. Thank you

Congrats, I wanted to ask you a question, you could also Adjust status by visiting instead of L1 ? if someone has no option of L1 or TN visa, can someone adjust status while visiting when case is on AP? is there any consequences for adjustment while doing on visit? Also can we get TN easily if we apply, and when AP clear while working on TN , can we just go back to Canada and continue Councillor Process like submitting passport and re medical. Or can we also adjust status while working on TN as well just like you did on L1. please guide in details. thank you

I sent an inquiry email to Montreal Consulate few days ago, previously I used to get auto reply within few seconds, but this time no auto reply received, should I send an email again? any one faces the same recently like no auto acknowledging email receive?

I know he was lucky, will be one year in my case next month.

I got 6 updates from the end of April to Mid May, after that no status updated at all, I dont know what is happening, i am so down because of this process, I sent an inquiry in June and got response that my case is currently under administrative processing. As soon as the administrative processing is complete, the Visa Unit will advise of the next steps if anything else is needed to complete processing the case. Since then complete silence, I am going to send them another email now as 3 months already passed when I sent them last inquiry, and will also ask our attorney and congressman to get inquiry,

I got 6 updates within 15 days time period, but then stopped for last 40 days, Not sure, what is happening?

How to contact congressman? Every state has a congressman or every city and what should we tell them so they can send an email on our behalf? please guide me on this, we will also try this. Thanks

No updated, silent this week.

it updated on 9 and yesterday as well, not sure whats going on and when they will clear.

Hope so, am anxiously waiting, so your case was regularly updating for last 2-3 weeks? or more than that? @Phil_K_IR1

Its updated again today, hoping for the best. It updated again today.

Congratulations Phil, finally your waiting time is over, mine is still stuck with CV only requested. My interview was also held first week of November, 2023. Now from last week my case start getting updates as follows: Updated on April 30, May 2, May 3. Not sure its a good sign or not? how often your case was updating in last 3 months? can you please share the dates if you have saved the dates for updates.

Thank you! During this long AP process, do we will have to inform USCIS, NVC OR Montreal consulate that we just got Canadian citizenship? or it doesnt matter at all for them?

I have one question: If case is in AP after interview, at the time of Interview applicant was Permanent Resident of Canada, and during this long AP processing time, if applicant apply for Canadian citizenship if qualified and then get Canadian citizenship before passport request or re-medical for IR1, will this cause an any issue in current ongoing IR1 process if one become Canadian? I mean in this scenario, do we will have to inform USCIS, NVC OR Montreal consulate that we just got Canadian citizenship. I just checked I-130 form and DS-260 forms, it was not asked any where which citizenship you hold. Can we do this like if we get Canadian citizenship then just hold Canadian Citizenship certificate but dont apply for Canadian passport and then migrate to US once IR1 visa approved. Sorry if its out of way question, but i thought you guys have great knowledge so someone of them will reply here. thank you

updated only when they replied to the inquiry in which there was just an acknowledgement, no any update after that
