I need information on that ,please let us know if you crossed the border these coming days?

Thanks a lot,I got it this morning and changed it to BLS,I was worried because I thought it falls under Post Canada(can't afford another month of wasted time and had to decide quick before they generate the tracking number or removing this option of switching) and at the same time I don't want to see the generated tracking number because that means I am stuck with Post Canada as it was the one I chose .

It is frustrating,I was from yesterday to this morning searching for that.I tried now to take a screenshot for you but the change of location isn't there any more.You log in to the site that you registered your appointment,click home,them click on " continue on almost top left of the page,then choose upgrade to prmium of change location,in place of the location you chose before select BLS... that's it.Tha's what I did .

What is BLS? What is BLS?

Silly question from my part: When the delivery is premium, does it mean that it's another couriers other than Canada Post that fulfill it? I chose before interview "Pick up Location in downtown Montreal with the name Post Canada" ,will this be impacted by this strike? Thanks

That's good ,it seems they are working on it,I hope you get it very soon.

Hello; Did you receive any update after they received your medical and photos?

Thanks Mattu,so no link to that date,apparently no link also to the one year of creating DS260 because many applicants got their visas after 1 year and they didn't receive such remark,total randomness. The thing I noticed about this remark is that applicants ,who weren't asked to update their DS260 ,got their visa or asked about second medical soon after that .I hope it's the case here.

Hello Mattu; I see this question about expiring soon coming so often.I don't have this remark so I can't check it to see if it's related to the DS260.I guess it does ,if you Mattu or any one who has this remark wanna try checking it with me by doing this below, it gonna be a helpful answer for everybody in this forum. If you access your account with case number and invoice number ,then click on IV Application, then see next to where it says paid and next to it completed, the last case says VIEW, you click on that VIEW ,then on the top right ,it gives you the expiry date of the DS260. Please confirm to us how many months or days left to reach that expiry date so we know ruffly the time they set up to trigger this remark and applicants will know when to expect it. Thanks in advance.

Can you tell us how many unsolicited updates you got from mast document submission to issue ?

I haven't seen any movement in terms of issuing visas since second part of this October, not even news for unsolicited updates after the reception of passport and medical. Frustration goes on

Is the cost of the updated medical exam the same as the initial one? are there things that are skipped or everything ( xray,vaccines,blood ...) need to be done as in the initial one?

Is the cost of the updated medical exam the same as the initial one? are all the things that are skipped or everything need to be done as in the initial one?

Good luck

Is it a general rule that after a year of filling up ds260 it changes to "expiring soon "status ,or it's just random.

I used to send emails and after 20 days or so I get a generic reply without updates. Recently I called twice ,give my case number and the agent says that I need just to wait,then the next day of each separate call I get an update.That's a solicited update. Yesterday ,I get an update,I was happy for a moment thinking this is good news, and today I get a reply for an email sent mid August, was the update of yesterday unsolicited or solicited,they get me totally confused .

The CO mentioned my passport on 221g and I sent it .Is keeping the passport for months reasonable or normal !? I know of one case but curious whether it happens often or rarely?

I really don't know what they are spending their time on,they declared that these categories are reached the limit number : visas EB 1,2,3,4,5, and fiscal year for DVlottery winners also ends on September 30th,I noticed people with DS5535 (for DVLOTTERY)were completed before the fiscal year date, after this date winners become ineligible.It seems that they junp to the pile from time to time and treat 5 to 10 and they forget about it for a while.

Hello,congratulations for being done with them,and thanks for the prompt response.Have you reached out to your senator's office after they told you to escalate the issue or way before that?

Please keep us informed,I am in the same situation.

Hello,thanks for this information,can you please put the link to the site you used to file the Ombdsman request,and just briefly the steps.

Hello Guest; This is for Guest who submitted his passport on January 19 on the tracker,do you have any information on why they mention the passport on g221 while they tick the link to ds5535 on the same g221,are they keeping the passport until AP is completed?

Is it normal that last words of first paragraph in Summary Information in CEAC account says "where your interview will take place" for someone who already did the interview?

Hello guys; have anyone send an email yesterday to montreal-iv-dv@state.gov and didn't get the automatic reply for reception proof ,I tried twice but didn't get anything ,this is the first time.
