What's your visa category? Wish you the best of luck.
-
Is your primary nationality and passport from Iran? Are you also a Canadian citizen? Or is Iran the only nationality?

It was consistently reported on this thread that visa issuance after the postage of passport, pictures and electronic transmission of the medical takes 2 months to be processed by the consulate in Montreal. Nothing you can do but wait.

You didn’t understand my question. Do you know why you were asked to fill out a DS-5535? If you had to guess based on your own profile, what is it in your background information that they might have wanted to do a DS-5535? You guys are about to push to part 4 in about two days tops.

Hello Adam, I remember your story from the DV interview in 2023 where you DS-5535 was for 3 months and now it seems for your EB-2 case, you got another DS-5535 that was cleared in 3.5 months. Do you have any idea what could it be in your profile or history that has triggered a DS-5535 twice? I am just really curious. Country of birth/nationality? Travel history? Occupation?

Hello guys. I have an upcoming immigrant visa interview at the US consulate in Montreal. I just switched my delivery method from Canada Post location pick up to the BLS Brampton location (I would imagine that the delivery's done through Purolator). Is this reliable given the strike with Canada Post or should I just do premium delivery to my home address?
-
Thank you so much for the response. Seems like your case number was on the high side or your DS-260 was processed late. So they did conclude the AP/DS-5535 in a matter of 3 months which honestly isn't too bad. Good luck with your EB2!

Hello can you please tell me when was your interview date in Montreal last year? You cleared in September but when was your interview?

I think I am able to transfer my case anywhere in the world really. As long as I ensure that I can enter the country, which other than Canada (being a citizen), can't guarantee but it's very easy to get a visa for Saudi. I'll have to see which works out the best. I think Montreal is probably gonna be the choice though. I just have to let go I guess. Nothing I can do.

Thanks for the heads up. How are you able to follow the Montreal 221g DV cases? Do you use the charts by Xarthisius? Is there a DV forum for Montreal applicants ? I am a citizen of Syria, there is no US consulate there. The only place in the world I am a resident of is Canada. I could try Saudi Arabia but I will be a visitor there and not a resident which will make things tricky in terms of residency. I'm a university student.

Do you have a link to that forum?
-
Thank you. I'm gonna need it. What I don't understand though is how come none of the applicants on the spreadsheet are DVs? Its all family and employment based on this spreadsheet.

Seems like I have no other option. I was planning on doing AOS, but if I enter with B2 and do AOS, that's fraud. I'm not going to do that. So now what? Do the interview and let go? It doesn't sound like I have another option.

Syria. I was born there and that is my state of chargeability. I never lived there though. I declared both nationalities (Syria and Canada) on the DS-260. I used the Canadian passport as the main passport on the DS-260. I filled it very thoroughly.
-
That's honestly scary. It seems that based on the DV Charts by Xarthisius, there is a 50-60% chance I'll be placed in AP in Montreal. This is my biggest concern, getting cleared past the fiscal year. I pray to God I don't get placed into AP. I really hope I don't. I had B2 visas and NEXUS. I don't have a unique and extremely uncommon name (almost rare even). Should I just prepare a WOM before hand? lol.
