expedited appointments at the US embassy/consulates in Canada - Toronto in particular

I am waiting on my H-1B cap exempt visa approval (should arrive this week). I live and work in Toronto atm.

My anticipated start date is September 27. I think that is probably impossible to get the entire process (book an interview appointment, then request an expedited appointment - soon but not too soon as I need to receive in the mail the paperwork from the US - then receive my passport back in the mail) on time for me to be on US soil by September 27.

I would love to hear if someone is / has recently been in a similar position. Specifically:

  1. has anybody recently asked for an expedited appointment at the US consulate of Toronto? For what visa? How close was the start date of the school/job (to get an idea of how urgent the appointment was)? Was the appointment offered or denied?
  2. Specifically in Toronto, how long does it take to get your passport back in the mail, from the date of the interview?

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
