@jgoferI am so happy for you. Hopefully you are able to cross and be with your family this Christmas. You should get your passport in a couple of days, hopefully. Cheers.

Hello. I finally got my passport back. It was finally issued Dec 6 or 7...so about 3 months from the interview date. I ended having to follow up with them again via email. It took about ten days for them to reply, saying it was in queue. A day or two later, it was issued so I don't know if it was because I followed up or it just happened to be next in sequence. This is the email address: montreal-iv-dv@state.gov Best of luck!

Hi All New member here and hoping from some insight on the inner workings of our consulate in Montreal Interview was Friday Sept 8 2023, did almost everything right but had to mail one missing original document (still kicking myself over this) I was told that I didn't need to go back to Montreal since the interview went well Promptly sent in the document on Monday Sept 11 and they signed for it Wednesday Sept 13 Status was updated on Sept 21 (guessing they opened my envelope and put it in the queue) After weeks of "Refused" status on CEAC, I emailed just to be sure they have everything they need Got a reply Nov 2 saying all is good, just waiting for a consul officer to approve my document Sooo, it's now... 66 days since the interview 61 days since they received my document and passport 53 days since they updated my file I am really hoping they issue it this week (I was told 6 to 8 weeks). I travel (not to the US) for work and I have delayed my travel (to client site) to end of Nov because that's about as much as I could delay it. I figure almost 3 months should be safe. I hope I am not wrong. Not really sure what to do with the client if I have to delay my travel further. Anyone else facing the same challenge?
