August Interviews in Montreal - K1

[Tater&Bugger 3]

I AM SO EXCITED! Just got back from Montreal having my medical done... I haven't slept in days. In the lat 3 days I have been in MI getting everything prepared and sorted out, contacting people in NY and ON... then in NY checking out apts... then in Ottawa to pick up my stuff and get a few hours shut eye, then to Montreal this morning to get my medical. Unfort my blood results won't be ready until a few hours AFTER the interview but they said it's not problem and happens all the time. I still have a sealed letter and letter from the Dr. Seiden's explaining. So I anticipate being approved pending my blood results come back fine (which they will, I know because I just had work done w/ the Canadian Forces). Then all I have to do it get it back to them the same day (not sure if it'll be by mail or I can go back in person, unlikely) and then hopefully have my Visa in hand about 2 weeks later. As crazy as things have been I haven't been nervous or anxious about the interview at all yet. I know we're fine and honestly do not know any reason why we'd be denied... but then again guaranteed the MORNING of I'll get that scary tummy ache haha. Fiance is going tuxe shopping with the boys tonight, has a Army golf tournament in the morning (some team building thing before block leave) then heading to Ottawa so we can ride to Montreal together. It's been crazy but I love it!

Fiancee got her package today! POE on Monday!

[Tater&Bugger 3]

I can't calm down it feels like Christmas without all the fun carols and turkey.

[Wishing 1]

Yeah I feel fatigued like just around Christmas with the overactivity all around and a million little things to do!!

Congrats nickbits, Hope you have a good POE. Good luck with your interview Tater&#######. It'll be so easy and you'll be wondering why everyone stresses so much lol

I got an email today saying canada post recevied my package in Montreal. So I will have my visa soon

[Tater&Bugger 3]

No stress yet... yet... lol. Since I don't have a laptop I won't be posting to advise of any stress tonight or be able to post my results... so you will have have to wait until Saturday (unless I find a moment to get on Fri evening and update my status).

I don't know why people freak out so much (yet haha), I've found so far that this is the funnest part because it finally feels real and not just money spent for paper! hahaha

The list explaining what I needed was in my stolen laptop... so going by my checklist do you think I have everything I need? (I have copies and then doubles of everything)

- Passport

- Visa pics (4 just in case)

- Birth Cert (long form)

- Police Cert being picked up in a few hours

- Both of our intent to marry letters

- 'Evidence of Domicile' we included the info from the Army stating how much money Justin will receive for housing based on his rank once we are married. Also a copy of his passport, Army ID and drivers license. Enlisted record brief.

- Affidavit of Support

- Evidence of Support, printed bank records and his last 5 pay stubs. Trying to also print his tax records for the last 3 years, should be on his online pay account with the Army so will print that when he arrives in a few hours.

- Photos of us (almost 20), over 20 pages printed from facebook messenger and hotmail.

- Letter from Dr. Seidens stating my results are ready at 2pm and sealed envelope.

Oh and the money of course.

I am also bringing back up info on myself that I will keep seperate... not sure if I should bring my own bank account records since Justin doesn't have a lot of savings and I have, well enough to support the both of us for a while.

you probably know this but i don't see it in your list: express post mailer, big one!

[Tater&Bugger 3]

Oh yes... I forgot to write it down but I didn't forget it! Imagine haha

[J & J 3]

Oh yes... I forgot to write it down but I didn't forget it! Imagine haha

Looks like you got everything you need..Just remember to write down your tracking number

Oh..and maybe bring a copy of your P-3, just in case they want a copy of your DS-160 form, they didn't ask me for anything, but it would be safe to bring it just in case...Best of luck to you guys tomorrow!!!

[Tater&Bugger 3]

Yes I have two copies of my P3. Looks like I am set. I just wanted to check with you experienced peeps first. I'd rather ask than make a mistake haha.

[OBX 51]

Good luck tomorrow!

[Veronik 19]

Good luck Tater&#######, you're probably there already but sending you good vibes!

I made it home yesterday, everything went well at the POE, nothing to worry about. The only thingis that they didn't want to import my car because they said - and I asked two different people- that I had to actually drive it across the border to do so... I don't know where that leaves me now...

Alright, well have a good weekend everyone, and good luck to everyone next week! August is coming to an end and we're all gonna be approved and happy!!!
