I realized 12 days later after completing our DS-160 on April 6 that we just needed to send the barcode of completed DS-160, documents I'll be bringing for my interview checked off on the list and my passport. *sighs* Update 2: Only got interview email..awaiting P4 email. Update 3. After sending an email I received my P4 with instructions about medical appointment, the day of the interview etc. I received this 6 days after I sent an email asking them for my P4. My medical appointment is June 15th. Update 4: Medical appointment went well with Dr Lyndon Mascarenhas in Toronto, blood work took about 2 hours because I was a walk in, I recommend booking an appointment with Lifelabs (its across the street from his office) 45mins to an hour and a half after your appointment with Dr Lyndon Mascarenhas. He then sent the results over the weekend! Really fast! Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 174 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 561 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 3, 2021 Embassy Review : July 2nd. Took about 40-45 mins. Got there 8:41,appt was at 8:45. Gave the first lady the papers she needed, tax forms, birth certificates(LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE, DO NOT FORGET) and my fiancé got a new job recently so I gave them those paper work as well and she was happy I did that lol. She asked our names and our addresses, if I'm going to be working, asked if this was our first marriage. Then I sat back down for a few mins then was called again. The second officer asked the same questions and asked me what I currently do for work, I told him. He asked how did we meet, if I travelled outside of North America in the last 5 years, if we had kids, what do I do for work. Then he grabbed the pink slip and said Welcome to the USA 😊 They were friendly people, it was very easy to get through. The wait was worth it. Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
