Hello @Dr.Mor, I presume the focus of your question is on the DV process, right? The USCIS fee you paid online subsequent to your interview covers USCIS Green Card processing fees after you entered the US with your DV IV visa. Take the payment receipt with you when you travel to the US under the DV visa. No need to confirm the payment to the Consulate, they won't be interested. Good luck with your AP process!
 
Got interviewed on March 10 as i got my 2NL in Jan 26. Our visa got issued on next day for six months validity. It very simple but we are so nervous. Thanks for the help forum members. Just a question regarding payment of green card, what do the receipt looks like

@SusieQQQ The montreal consulate does not really want to answer anything over the phone. So I got nowhere. I have been in constant email contact, I just get a standard reply saying that I am in AP and I have to wait (but for how long, I don't know).

So I am putting this out to anyone with experience dealing with Montreal: Does anyone have additional advice or another phone number?

Thanks in advance

I was interviewed in Montreal on Feb 4th. The officer said that all was in order and that next day I will receive e-mail with further instruction for passport pickup etc. Since then my file went into AP. Emailed a couple of times and got standard response about AP procedure. After reading posts here I decided not to bother writing and decided to wait. Waiting almost 7 weeks now. Just before the march break I asked how long the procedure takes and that they are holding my passports so I will be missing on the March Break. Read my previous post to see the reply I got.Basically they said they reserve 8 weeks for A P. And they did not mention anything about my passports. So I did miss going away with the kids for March break as I wanted to be humble and did not ask again. Anyways with respect to 8 week wait - after reading all post here I simply do not believe it. I will be sure to post again next week when I hit 8 week mark and my file will still be in AP mode.
 
Here is an exact response from before the march break:
"We ask that applicants allow for 8 weeks of review time from the day of the interview. As soon as we have an update on the status of the case we will gladly inform you"

Yeah, forget the 8 weeks thing. It takes as long as it takes.

We don't know why you were put on AP. It is therefore impossible to predict how long it will last. Gabam's case wasn't completely unusual - I am certain other cases have taken longer - and some don't resolve before the end of the year.

NO ONE can give you any comfort, it is pointless trying to predict the time based on case updates, Gabam's case or any other case. The only thing that will matter will be seeing Issued.
