HI GANG! I AM BACK HOME AND PLEASED TO SAY I NOW HAVE MY K3 VISA ENTRY IN PASSPORT!!!

AND IN HAND!!!

HALLIE-LOOO-YA!!!! POP THE CORK! AND START POURING THE CHAMPAGNE!!! YAHOOOOO!!!!!

WHAT A MISERABLE RAINY DAY IN VANCOUVER...THE PROCESS WAS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD!

A WORD OF CAUTION...DON'T TAKE A CEL PHONE,,, I GOT STOPPED RIGHT FROM THE START WITH

SECURITY CHECK! I HAD TO RUN ACROSS THE STREET AND HAVE THE MAN WHO HAS A COPYING

AND PASSPORT PHOTO STORE, HOLD MY CEL PHONE UNTIL MY APPT. WAS OVER!

UPON BEING CLEARED FOR SECURITY CHECK AND PROCEEDED UP THE STAIRS AND ESCORTED

IN THE ELEVATOR TO THE APPROPRIATE FLOOR. I WAS AMAZED AT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE

THERE WAITING FOR THEIR BUSINESS TO BE DONE. I WAS ESCORTED TO AN AREA THAT HELD 5 SEATS

AND 5 WINDOWS. I MET 2 K1 APPLICANTS AND THEN THERE WAS MYSELF FOR K3. WE WERE

INDIVIDUALLY CALLED TO THE WINDOW, DISPLAYED OUR REQUESTED DOCUMENTS, THEN

HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER AREA PAY THE FEE, SENT BACK TO THE ORIGNAL SEATING AREA,

THEN ASKED TO DO INDEX FINGER PRINTS.

IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT OUR INTERVIEWS WOULD BE DELAYED FOR 30 MINUTES. WE GOT

CHATTING AND IT WAS KEWL TO FIND OUT, THEY WERE ALSO FELLOW MEMBERS OF VJ!

2 OF US WERE GRANTED OUR VISAS. I RETURNED AT 2 PM AGAIN GOING THRU THE SAME

SECURITY CHECK. MY PASSPORT WAS RETURNED WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL VISA! IT WAS

ACCOMPANIED BY A SEALED ENVELOPE WITH MY DOCUENTATION FOR MY 'POE'.

I HAVE DECIDED TO FLY FROM VANCOUVER ON FRIDAY THE 26 JANUARY TO U>S> AND WILL DEAL

WITH MY POE ACTIVATION AT VANCOUVER AIRPORT.

ONE INTERESTING THING I FOUND OUT...SOME POE'S MAY BE ABLE TO AUTHORIZE "EAD" AT

THE SAME TIME AS ACTIVATING I-94.

I WILL HAVE MY APPLICATION AND FEES IN HAND TO SEE IF THIS CAN BE DONE AT THE SAME

TIME AT VANCOUVER AIRPORT! WILL KEEP YOU POSTED!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE THIS WEEK!

CHEERS!

Congratulations! That is fabulous news, and thanks for the update on interview process. We have our interview next week and I am getting nervous (even though I am preparing myself to not be able to get the visa on that date :(

Congratulations!!!! :D and thanks for the review!

Unfortunately about the temporary EAD, they're only given to K1's and only if JFK is the POE, which is hard to do coming from most Canadian airports where you go through American customs at the airport before you depart.

Still, that's great you got the visa :)

The typical questions...when did we meet?, where did we meet?, when did we start dating, how often did we visit each other?, When did we get married? What type of work does my husband do?, how much money does my husband make a year approximately?, What my profession is?,

do I plan on working?, when was I moving to the US. Pretty general questions...hope this helps!

Denise

PS no EAD stamp ......I will see if they can activate EAD at same time at POE for I94...will

let you know what happens.

Cheers!
