feel free to check my decipherin' any ole time :)

Hi Cutienpurg

I seem to be having some trouble viewing the list. When I view it here on VJ the list starts at fg & ss and ends at David & Monique yet if I copy and paste to Microsoft Excel it starts at fg & ss then ends at Katie & Allen which is an additional 9 people. Can you tell me if there should be more than 54 people on the list since it did seem to be longer in the past.

Thanks much for everything you are doing.

Ron

Hey Ron,

I beliiiiiiiiiiieve :unsure: there are 49 couples listed beginning with fg & ss and ending with Katie & Allen

Melytha ........I emailed the list to you, did you get it?

You are right regarding the number of people I was using the excel count which had a few blank lines. but still to get everyone on the list I must copy to excel as the version you post gives me a shorter list and a blank page for some reason.

Again thanks for all the work.

Ron

I emailed her as well, no thank you. :crying: Such a cruel, cruel world!!! Oh dear Mr. Miller Lite, what did I do wrong? :crying: :crying: 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

LOL

Thank you, too. I was going to email both of you personally to say thank you, but since you brought it up, I'll do it here! ;-) I've been kind of busy today... and my fiance is arriving in town tonight! Actually, :secret: I was even going to thank you without mentioning that Cutie- had already emailed it to me :whistle:

Hi Everyone,

I emailed Montreal today to make sure that they had received my Packet 3 - AND to sneak in a question about potential interview dates! They received my packet on May 11th and the reply to the interview question was "You are currently on a waiting list to be scheduled an appointment. Unfortunately I cannot tell you what

the date would be but please allow 3 - 4 months." Surprisingly polite - potentially completely inaccurate but I'm holding onto whatever bits of hope I can that the interview will happen sooner rather than later.

Optimistic? Crazy? Whatever gets you through the night!!

Fingers crossed for everyone else who is waiting as well...

I do think that with MTL no longer processing any other type of visa but our types :thumbs: (K, DCF, CR/IR) things should go relatively quickly for us waiting for a summer interview. This last month was the most interviews I saw being assigned. So there, you are not crazy!!! My thoughts are that MTL got really screwed with the Adam Walsh thing as we all did, and they are trying to get rid of the backlog.... there's to show that there should be more than one post for processing immigrant visas in Canada!!!!!

And yup, they're being quite polite to inquiries lately.

I am hoping that this is the case too and this will hopefully speed up the interview wait times.

Called MTL on Wednesday, we got our visa interview! :dance:

They got my package Jan 18th and my interview was scheduled on May 22nd (the day before I called, ironically enough), our date is July 5th. I got the package in the mail today.

I'm glad I have a few weeks before I need to start panicking. We should set up a support group for those of us who have interviews the same day so we can defuse together after we survive the interviews!

I've been off VJ for a while, because I was just waiting ... and waiting ... and-- well, everyone hear knows that state intimately. Is the timeline list now a document instead of a post? Have I missed anything exciting?

I'm so happy we finally got our date! Wahee!
