Sad to get the Good News?

Its more thna just a "stamp" the "visa" takes up a full page of the passport has their picture on it and other information!

You could always email and ask them!

In my P4 letter (I am K1), there is a sentence that says if you need your passport to travel, they can make arrangements or something -- now I dont know if this will work but if you buy your plane tickets or whatever and show them, hey I need to leave by this date, maybe they will work on it?

I am also worried myself -- my interview is Nov 13 and well, I want to be with my fiance by Thanksgiving. And flights that week... *cringe*

Goodluck on getting the interview though! Worse comes to worse, youd be spending Christmas in Canada, but come New Year... *dun dun dun* You will all be together!!!! I am so happy for you

PS I emailed the consulate about using the super fast envelope (Priority AM, guaranteed delivery next business day before noon) and they said they dont care as long as the size is the same!!!!

When I had my interview last Thursday I heard a couple asking about picking up the passport the next day and they told them that this option exists only for applicants (benefitiaries) who already live and work legally in the US...

I got the Next AM Priority Courier envelope, and they took it no problem. Just now I got an email from Canada Post (I registered for updates on my tracking number) that my envelope arrived at the post office in MTL...if Canada Post keeps their word, I should have my passport tomorrow by noon. Can't wait!

Why don't you go and spend Christmas with them and then accompany them back to the US after the holidays?

Timing is everything. I just confirmed Flight, time off work, rental truck for this weekend. I am flying up there for my daughter's BDay and driving back 200 miles with our belongings. Don't know if I can do Christmas on top of that. Plus my mother in law decided to book her non refundable flight to AZ for 12/23/09. I will talk to the spouse about the overnight envelope and hopefully not have to spend the holidays with just the MIL

O = The original document has been received and accepted as meeting post requirements

What does meeting post requirements mean?

C = Direct inquiries to your consulate / embassy

CORRESPONDENCE INSTRUCTIONS this is listed under documents, is this the interview letter that I just received??

The first means they have, on hand, a document you gave them and the document is ok.

If something is marked with a C - it means if you have any questions about it, check with the consulate

so other than the AOS exemption forms that I have to take for the kids, nothing else is actually required.

However, I am sending with my wife

Handful of photos

Last 3 years tax transcripts

Copies of utility bills - current US address

Copy of mortgage - current US address

Photo copies of Marriage cert, and Birth certs (So I can get originals back)

Letter from my work - Length of employment and still employed with Salary

Itineraries from previous trips to Canada

Anything else she should be prepared for?

[trailmix 77]

The envelope for the consulate, two passport photos of each of them...umm that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Congrats on getting your long awaited interview date! You know, you have NOTHING to lose by asking if you can have the visa right away, especially given it's so close to the holidays. You're also a CR-1/IR-1 interviewee, so the few times they have done it, it's been to those folks. Maybe because they're already a "resident"? I'd email the Consulate and ask them ahead of time.

Congratz dude!!!

I was just telling Peachey the other day that I still felt horrible about your situation.

I'm glad they FINALLY remembered you!

I would kill myself if I had to do that.

Other option is to reschedule the interview. But Varba has alluded to a "situation" you have been through so that might not be a welcome option. lol

MIKEY! Glad to know your envelope finally resurfaced. So three business days for you huh? Thats not too horrible. Did anyone find out if the other person who interviewed last week Monday finally got his passport/paperwork?

I will talk to the spouse about the overnight envelope and hopefully not have to spend the holidays with just the MIL

Awwww, you dont want one on one bonding time with The Mama? Just kidding!

Eklandon!!!

Congratulations, man! Well, that is a bit of an issue with the timeing and all but... if it were me.... I'd just get 'er done and move on.

I'm glad to hear that your wife and kids got an interview. That's awesome news!

Hope it all works out well for you!

Best...

Oh and keep us posted as to all the nitty-gritty if you can, okay?
