Hi everyone! Sorry for being late to tell you that my husband’s visa got issued! I really feel like reaching out to your senator or congressman helps! Maybe we should’ve reached out sooner but at least the visa’s finally approved and issued. It’s been such a difficult process and I feel for everyone here as many tears have been shed but even if it feels like all hope is lost, there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel so stay positive and hopeful! Here’s our timeline: I-130 filed: August 25, 2021 NVC case creation date: November 13, 2022 Montreal interview and received DS-5535: January 29, 2024 ***Status was REFUSED for months with some updates here and there*** We would email the consulate once a month for updates and would get the same response as everyone else. We emailed the senator to reach out to consulate: October 10, 2024 Senator’s office reached out to consulate: October 18, 2024 Consulate requests photos and new medicals: November 4, 2024 Mailed the new photos using FEDEX: November 18, 2024 Doctor sent the new medicals to consulate: November 20, 2024 Emailed senator to reach out to consulate to ask if they received the requested documents: November 24, 2024 Senator’s office reached out to consulate about receiving the requested documents: November 25, 2024 Consulate replied to senator’s office about receiving the new medicals but not the new photos since mails get delivered at an off-site facility and would take time to reach them: November 26, 2024 CEAC status changed to ISSUED: December 3, 2024 Stamped passport received in the mail: December 5, 2024

Thank you! I hope we all get the “issued” status very soon!

Thanks! Please let us know when your case updates to “issued”. I hope we all get that good news soon.

Hi! Fedex delivered ours but it wasn’t signed by anyone (our fault for not including requirement for a signature) so I’m kind of stressing out about it but we did put that exact address. We asked the senator to reach out to the consulate and they sent this. I think I saw someone get the same response about their documents being received at an offsite processing facility. How long does it usually take until the visa unit reaches it? Getting anxious here. Thank you!

That’s good that fedex delivered your documents! My husband tried sending his documents through fedex but it looks like they didn’t deliver them. They’re holding the package at a pick-up center and I don’t think the consulate office goes on their way to do that so I’m stressing out. 😔 Do you think fedex will try to deliver it in person? Thank you.

Yes please let me know if the consulate accepts your documents through FedEx. Thank you.

Hi guys, with the Canada Post strike, is there another way for us to send the requested documents? My husband and I also got requested new medicals and new photos. Do you think they’ll need a new police check too? They didn’t ask for one but it’d be frustrating if they ask for that too after we mail the other documents. Thank you everyone!
