Hello, We just checked my husband's account and it says he has been DQ'd as of 11/20/24. @appleblossom You had said in an earlier post something about IL? What is that exactly, and what does that mean for my husband? From this point on, are we just waiting for him to get an interview date now?

No we are not documentary qualified yet. We were only told that they received the documents. Do you all know how long it takes to get a DQ, once they have received the paperwork?

Hello, I am an American and my husband is a Canadian citizen. The NVC has told us that they have received all of our documents as of 11/20/24. Can anyone tell us how long it takes to get an interview date for Montreal? Do we get to pick our own date or we are just given one? We are working with a lawyer who has been submitting paperwork on our behalf. The lawyer does not currently have any other clients in Canada so is not able to get us any kind of timeline. We appreciate any information!

Hello! My Canadian husband just got approved for his I-130 after 14 months! What are the next steps? Can anyone tell me about how long it takes from now till he is finally home in the states??

Yes he was born in Canada. We try to get everything paid and taken care of as soon as it is requested. Thank you again for your help!

Yes he is a Canadian citizen. Thank you! Fingers crossed it is fast! Do you know how long everything generally takes once the I-130 is approved?

Hi, My husband had initially filed for an adjustment of status in the US and had left the country to go to Canada on the approval of our lawyer. She did not tell him that he would not be allowed to re-enter. The entire process was thrown out when we got to the border and he was not allowed back in. We got a new lawyer and had to change the process to consular processing. We have been in separate countries for a year now and there seems to be no changes or moves in the I-130. Has anyone else had to go through this, where they changed from adjustment of status to consular processing? And if so, how long did it take to approve the I-130 and move on to the next steps? We filed in Aug,2023. My husband is a medical student and has had everything on pause and missed 2 cycles of residency applications. If anyone can give some insight, that would be great!
