Passport Retrieval Times

[CougarFan 0]

Hello VJ'ers!

Let me first say, everyone here has been such a great help to us. We couldn't have done this whole process without you all!

We are just a few weeks away from my medical and interview in Montreal (we went the I-130 route). It happens to fall the same week as our 1 year anniversary, so we are making a fun holiday out of it . Anyway, my interview is the 19th of August, and my husband is raring to start college again on August 26. It's cutting it close, we know! (He has been working in northern Montana for the past 8 months, so he could be close to me here in southern Alberta).

We were wondering - how long did it take you (or those you know) to get their passports back after your interview? I've heard "3 days" a lot, but I live out west, in Alberta. We do have a back-up plan, in case it doesn't come in time. (He will have to go and start college in Utah, and come back to get me and the U-Haul later...there's no way I'm driving that thing by myself through the Rockies!)

Thanks again everyone!

Catharine & Jake

There's a thread an a poll about it here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/296482-k1-ers-waiting-for-montreal/

Montreal is notoriously slow and unpredictable, although some people do get their visas back very quickly. It's good you have a back-up plan- sometimes people buy their plane tickets right after the interview and then they can't use them because they didn't get their visa back on time!
