I have no idea, but it sure beats sitting around for months waiting to get a date assigned to you and then only having a few weeks to plan a trip to Montreal. I got assigned a Wednesday, which was extremely inconvenient. I would've much preferred a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.

Depends on how much control someone likes to have. For me, that's priceless.

I think it was frustrating some that dates would open up--but they were not home, so by the time they could attempt to get a date, they were gone. Can't make everyone happy,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I know the feeling :) I hope it all works out for you and you can have your wedding the way you've planned it.

Thank you!!! :) I always take your "love is patient" quote to heart by your avatar. I appreciate that little reminder, especially after being in a LDR for 3 years!

Hmm...I'm not sure what you mean by booking an interview. Interview dates are assigned...or at least they were two years ago. Has something changed?

I'm in a I-130 process and wondered the same thing.

Perhaps for K-1 applicants, the US Visa Service is used and the appointments are booked there?

We have our interview in a few weeks and I was wondering if we should follow the Montreal-specific instructions that direct applicants to register on the US Visa Service web site or if that is only for people in the K-1 process.

K1 applicants used to be assigned dates but aren't anymore. However, IR1/CR1s are assigned dates. K1s book dates using the CSC website. I'm not sure if spouses are supposed to register with that site as well sinced I'm a K1 but I -think- they're supposed to just to register their location with DHL so they can pick up their visa. Montreal doesn't print visas on the same day anymore either- now you have to wait for it be mailed to you.

People who are having Spousal visa interviews are given interview dates. They need to sign up for the DHL service on the site so that their visa and package can be sent to them.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

Is the DHL package delivered to the home address or to a local DHL office for pickup?

If pickup is needed, can one arrange for home delivery?

Thanks.

Where would we be without this forum? Wow. I just managed to register on usvisa-info.com and I think we're registered for DHL courier service only. I then reached a page with a list of documents to bring to the interview. This is quite different than the list we received with our interview appointment from the NVC.

From the usvisa-info.com, we also need to bring:

"Specific Application Documents for Canada

Examples of proof of income/ties:

A current letter of employment (or that of the family member or person providing the applicant financial support) showing date hired, salary and position

Pay slips and tax documents

School letter with proof of tuition payment and a copy of official transcript

Property deeds

Canada Immigration Documents showing the applicant's current legal status in Canada (permanent resident card, student/work permit and/or visa, and/or temporary resident permit)

Monthly bank statements

Proof of sufficient funds to cover all expenses while in US

Evidence which shows purpose of trip

"

So far, I have info from NVC that I need to bring original tax returns in support of the I-864 that was filed with the NVC. The need for Pay slips is new. Monthly bank statements is new. Proof of sufficient funds is new. Is this necessary or applicable only to other visa types?

Thanks in advance for assistance.
