Vancouver interviews

[charlene 0]

YEAH!!! we got packet 4....

only question is they assigned a 1:00 time for the interview (April 8)

In the past I have read where people were told to get there early as possible(by other past VJ'rs) so you could get you visa

the same day.....will those who have had interviews or those that will be having interview soon let me know

what information you have about this. Were you given a specific time.....can you still go early....etc...

Thanks!!!!!!!

Charlene did you get Packet 4 in the mail or did they email you? I'm really hoping for an April 10th interview date! Also, at Vancouver I don't think that they issue the visa the same day. They will get them to you the next day. I'm pretty sure that getting there as early as possible is a Montreal thing.

Yesterday He got a reply to his email that said they had sent packet 4 2 days ago....and when the mail came...packet 4 was in the mail...

When David and I went for his interview we got there 45 mins early and they let us go ahead and go inside to wait. I've read from others that this is not common and you should only show up 15 minutes early or they won't let you through, but we got lucky I guess ... His appointment was at 1pm also. I don't think they issue the visa same day no matter what, you get it the day after.

well, I don't know about Vancouver but in Montreal you get a time but that really isn't the time your interview will be... it is basically first come first serve...

[michellea 0]

Yeah it's Montreal that we go as soon as you can in the morning....

Vancover.. I have no idea... sorry

No email for us today. Holidays at the consulate today and Monday. Hopefully we'll hear something by Tuesday. That's awful short notice to be making travel arrangements, that's for sure!

[charlene 0]

I forgot about the holidays...surely you will hear by Tuesday...

Thanks everyone for your response!!!!

Someone has an interview on March 26 and someone else on March 31....I can't keep everyone strait...

let us know how these go (all the details)!!!!!!!!!

How long do we have to wait to get a Vancouver appointment? I email the consulate and they are really inconsitant about responding. I find if you ask a Case specific question they don't answer. I am just worried because my approval expirers May8/08. I sent mine in on March7/08, I hope I will get it soon! Maybe I am just being impaient.

[TheATeam 0]

I would email them again. You should have gotten your Packet 4 by now. Where in Canada are you? If you faxed it back on the 7th of March, it's the 23rd now, that means 16 days ago. It doesn't usually take that long for the mail to come. Are you putting your case number in the subject line of your email? That might help. I faxed my Packet 3 back on the 13th, so I'm hoping for an email on Tuesday!

[penn-kd 0]

Yep I always put my case # in the subject line. I find they respond better to faxes but it is the same deal. They only respond to questions about filling out paper not about case specific's. Is there a way on-line to track your application.

[TheATeam 0]

Nope, no way to track online. Several people here have said that they emailed the consulate to get their interview date through the email so that they could make travel arrangements ASAP, and they've gotten responses. I'm going to keep trying I think, and so should you. Chances are they've sent Packet 4 already, maybe it got lost in the mail?

i just had my interview in vancouver in feb.. and no, they dont issue you the visa the same day. They wont even let you go into your appointment until 15minutes before it.
