erm...here I am......had a great 24hr whirlwind trip to Montreal. March 11th - arrived and stayed at the Days Inn ($105) which was a 10min walk from the consulate...thumbs up! March 12th - woke-up or got out of the bed as not too much sleeping happened and made my was down the street arriving at about 7:10am.....there were already about four couples in line and more lined up behind me. Everything else went down just like I have read here on VJ.....all the staff were friendly and patient. I provided the lady at wicket 11 with my BC, Police check, Affidavit of support, passport, pictures, express post envelope and one other supplemental sheet who's name I can't remember. I then went to the cashier wicket and paid my $131 then returned to wicket 11 for finger printing. Finally, I was called to Room 8 to meet with a very nice man for about 6 mins and was approved by 10:20am. I did not have to provide any further proof of relationship documents at all.

Shout out to some peeps during the wait that I had the chance to meet and chat with - Adam (GF Jen from Brooklyn), another couple - he from Michigan she from Ontario and another couple - she from Chicago and he from Kitchener........

March 14th Canada Post delivers package in the AM........

Now what?????? More research!!!!! I will be heading to California on April 02 - getting married in Vegas on April 26........next thing to research in the AOS - just found out it will cost $1010...gulp.....and need to research advance parole as I have a father who's health is failing and I may need to come back to Canada on short notice.....
