If I don't get it tomorrow, I'm going to call DoS again.

Has anyone ever heard of someone not getting their appointment letter?

My interview is in 17 days. They mailed it out on the 14th of May...seriously, it shouldn't take THIS long to mail something from Montreal to Brantford.

I was thinking that if worse comes to worse I have the package 3 cover letter and an email from Montreal stating that my interview is June 20th.

Just wondering if anyone has heard of someone not getting an appointment letter. Hopefully DoS can do something for me when I call.

I'm worried.

:(

I have heard of others whose appointment letters didn't arrive and they came armed with the email. Hopefully, yours will arrive in plenty of time.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

oh ya there have been others, they took the email and all was fine

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

Laura, when I went to the consulate I presented my passport and that was enough for them since my name was on their list. I am one that never got the letter to this day, and I'm not too sure whether I got the news in an e-mail or over the telephone, I think it was the telephone as someone here advised to call them the day I did..

Keep after them but don't worry they will have your name on their clipboard

Oh Laura that sucks. I'm sure it'll be all fine like everyone has said but I know how worrisome it is to travel so far for something so important and not have every single duck in a row the way it should be. I'd be upset about it too, but seriously that email should be plenty.

3/5/11 sent LOC paperwork

3/9/11 date of NOA

?/?/?? biometrics appointment

You guys seriously kick so much butt! :thumbs:

Thank you for your kind words of support!!

CBR, that's exactly how I feel. Traveling all that way and not having all the documentation required.

If I don't get it, I'll bring along the email I got.

Thank you!!!

and again, nothing in the mail.

ARG.

I've emailed Montreal again and now I'm calling DoS.

Rather annoying.

On the up side, I just got all the documentation from Nick today (he overnighted it) so I'm all ready to go other than this blasted letter!!! :angry:

Okay I just got off the phone with Brian.

He stated that the email and cover letter should be just fine in getting in.

He also told me to email Montreal one more time and ask specifically to make sure but he thinks it should be fine.

Ive emailed them so hopefully I'll hear back.

:)

I feel better.

Another classic response:

"IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR LETTER THE GUARDS AT THE DOOR ON APPOINTMENT DAY WILL CALL US"

LOL ;)
