USCIS hasn't uploaded my documents into the expected place, so I had to wait for a bit for the officer to locate my records. After that it was a quick process. |

Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
I was lucky enough to have an appointment at their opening time of 7:30 AM, so I joined the line of folks waiting outside at about 7:10 AM, and the consulate opened its doors to start screening at 7:15 AM. The security staff ensured that only those with a 7:30 appointment went in first.
Security was straight-forward, no electronics and no metal through a metal detector, then pick up your stuff on the other side. From there up to floor 2 to wait in a waiting room. I waited about 10 minutes before being called to provide the original documents they wanted (my birth certificate, passport, criminal record check and our original marriage certificate, as well as to scan one of my photos). None of the copies I made were needed, and my spouse's birth certificate copy was not asked for.
I waited about another 15 minutes to be called back to the window and to answer a few questions about our marriage: who was my sponsor, when did we meet, where did we meet, when did we start dating, when was the wedding, and what we each did for work. I was then told I'd need a AOD, which I was expecting and provided for him. He reviewed it, and then said he'd recommend my visa be approved and handed me a document about how to check the status of my visa.
From the moment I entered the doors until I walked back out was roughly an hour, and the pace of folks being called seemed to be pretty quick and steady. Overall a good experience. |

Timeline Comments: 4so your DQ date is 3/16? Put that in "case completed at NVC."
also, sounds like your interview result is approved and you're in the standard AP, as opposed to purgatory AP...
Indeed, it shows as ISSUED with Administrative Processing in the extended notes. I’ll update it along with the dates.
Updated with receive date
*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.
