:dance: Congratz!! I loved your review, I could feel the excitement. It sounded so similar to ours too. I really like that they seem to have interviewers who truely enjoy their jobs there at Montreal.

Our guy said he'd try to get the visa mailed out that same day. It was received by the post office in Montreal the next day, but didn't show on Canada Post website until he 3rd day. The website was never updated after being received in Montreal's post office. I wouldn't even bother looking at it. We received the visa in the mail 5 days after the interview (and that's with a weekend in there! Interview Wed...Visa Mon)

3/5/11 sent LOC paperwork

3/9/11 date of NOA

?/?/?? biometrics appointment

Congratulations!!

Yes, you can never tell when it will be sent out, in our case Husband interviewed on a Tuesday, it was in our mailbox on the Friday - CO even offered to let him pick it up the next day if he wanted to.

So it's all down to the CO, she sounds very nice and it is probably in the mail!

I am really worried now that we might not get it by the end of this week. She did ask me how long I was going to be in Montreal for so I think she would've let me come back to pick it up but I was only in Montreal for that day and then I was leaving.

Thanks everyone for the congrats! I am so excited it is crazy! I spent all night packing in hopes to get it by the end of this week. I am disappointed that CanadaPost isn't updated cause that is what we are using to gauge if it will come in time as my fiance will be driving up with the cargo van to move everything and he has to take time off work to do it.

Please keep your fingers crossed!!!

Congratulations - great review!

btw Sprailenes - she doesn't need to change her nickname - she will now just be 'anxiouslywaiting' for the AOS, and the EAD and the AP and then the Removal of Conditions . . . She's probably good to go for another 3 years at least with this name! :jest:

Good point, I guess I am stuck with this name for at least 3 years which mean I will be anxious for the next 3 years. My stress level is already high enough! But at least I will be with my loved one during the next processes!

Great news!!

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
