Whoever has is interview in Montreal... I need advice

I've been approved Nov 25th 2013 got approved (says the agent)

No news since,status on dead says ready to take interview (never changed since before interview...)

On CDC say delivered (referring to packet 4...)

What does it suppose to show?

What was your status says after your interview...

Is it possible that those websites are not accurate,or not well update?

Is anyone you know has been waiting that long?

Thanks!

Yes, very hard to follow that post.

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

Where is your Loomis pick-up location? Is it in the Montreal area?

I just read this on the CSC announcement page that the locations in Montreal have been re-located to a new address. The announcement was all the way back in August, but if you registered for loomis services before then (since Montreal interviews are scheduled 3 months away on average..), then that might be the problem.

Here's a screen shot of the announcement:

Many reasons for AP--Born or lived in a country that is not on good terms with the USA. Even what classes you took at school, anything that could be used for terrorism. And some people are randomly selected. And a criminal background.

One has a few options, email Mtl and ask, and the USA citizen can always contact thier congress person, who may or may not be of any help, but if you don't try..........

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

A congressman is the US equivalent of a Member of Parliament. They can look into your case through their office and perhaps get you some information. Keep in mind it could simply be that the holidays created a backlog of people to finish.

Thanks for the info, i know, holidays slow everything...

But sometimes, i wonder if it's because i am going to Washington DC that it takes so long...perhaps more checks?

Anyway, im patient, i should wait another month before reaching whit congress people...

I am just starting to become CRAZY...
