Vancouver interviews

[TheATeam 0]

I think that you need to actually email or fax Vancouver and tell them the situation. Do you know if she's already told them that she's cancelling the interview? I'm pretty sure you just have to explain and then ask them for an extension on the NOA2 and while you're at it, requesting an interview date a month down the road wouldn't be a bad thing, as a just in case.

It's too bad they're not too great at responding to emails, and that they don't take phone calls. Although, I would try to call them since it is regarding an actual visa interview appointment.

Good luck, stay strong, let us know how it goes! You can do this!

Yeah, I would try calling Vancouver, too. The interview is in two days and they aren't going to open your email before then, but you could try emailing too. Maybe talk to Lindsay first---do you know what if anything she told them? I know there are people here who have had to reschedule interviews, and I don't think rescheduling, in and of itself, is all that difficult with Vancouver. It's just that if she tells them she needs to cancel the interview because the wedding is off, you may not be able to just pick up where you left off when she's ready to go ahead with it.

This probably is not the first time this has happened, either.

I'm so sorry you are going through this B.

I'm always here if you need someone to talk to.

Lindsay told me yesterday that she's not going to come. I'm devastated. It come completely out of nowhere and 2 days before the interview. I'm still in shock.

I hope any issues you have has been resolved, or the rescheduling itself has been pushed back. I wish for good communication and open dialogue to the two of you.

Does anyone know how long it takes the consulate to reply to an email? Sent one on Monday and still waiting for a reply? But they don't usually answer my case specific questions so we will see. Paiently waiting

[TheATeam 0]

Yeah tell me about it. I'm waiting too! I wonder if they actually got my checklist when I faxed it. It makes me a little nervous. I emailed them on the 14th to make sure, and then again yesterday and they still haven't replied. I emailed them at one point and they responded the same day, and now no response for almost two weeks. I'm not sure what's going on with them, but it's a little bit frustrating. At least, if it consistently took 2 weeks everytime, we'd know and it wouldn't be so bad.

I kind of wonder if maybe they're not ignoring me!

Did you put your case number in the subject line? What kind of q are you trying to ask them? Not being nosy, but I wonder if maybe they would rather ignore specific questions than to tell you they can't give you that info? It is quite odd though because twice I've emailed them and twice they returned my emails. In my emails I introduced myself as the beneficiary, had my case number in the subject line, and kept my emails short, error-free, and polite.

You can PM me if you feel more comfortable.

HTH.

It was about my appointment letter and this is what i wrote. Maybe it isn't polite enough.

Subject line: Name & case number

Attention: K Visas

My name is (Full Name) Case# and I am checking the status of my K1 visa appointment letter. To my understanding it is suppose to be received within 1-2 weeks. I am hoping that I could receive my appointment letter by email/mail so that I can make travel/work arrangements as soon as possible. If you need further information please contact my by email or by phone .Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Truly,

my Name

Penn-kd, I think that is short and concise. TheATeam also mentioned they haven't heard anything via email in the past two weeks, so it's probably not only you.

In the checklist did you mention when you would like to have your interview?

Btw, have you all booked your medicals?

My medical is done and picked it up on monday. So I am done everything that needs to be done. Maybe I should refax my papers. It sure would be great if they sent you something when they got everything. Yeah ask for an interview anywhere between Apr12-28. I hope they get back to me soon as my NOA2 Expires May8/08.

[TheATeam 0]

I asked for my interview to be April 10th. Maybe I was too specific. I don't have my medical booked yet as I'm getting it done the day before the interview in Vancouver, since there isn't a doctor here in Edmonton anymore.

That's the reason I'm a little worried about when my appointment will be. I need to make travel arrangements, hotel reservations, a medical appointment etc!

Yikes! Well, hopefully you get an email soon, or your appointment letter! Or both! Hopefully I do too!

The one thing that worries me is that Charlene and her fiance received an email last Thursday and Packet 4 the same day. They also emailed the consulate the same time that I did, the very first time.

What are you talking about? I just had my medical with Dr. Chana on Mar11/08 he was just on vacation.

[penn-kd 0]

I am confused why does everyone think there is no Doctor in Edmonton? Yes he was away for a few months but was back Mar11/2008.

[TheATeam 0]

He's no longer doing immigration medicals anymore. My appointment was cancelled on the 14th of March. Talk about a sucky deal!
