got interview

[burnsis 0]

So, I just got told that I have an interview for end of Oct. And I have a few questions(IR/CR1):

Can I schedule my medical now? Or do I need the letter with my interview date on it?

Does my husband need to go with me? Can I bring my son with me?

They have all the documents they requested, do I need to bring anything else?

Can I get my passport back the same day? I am flying within Canada, but I don't have a health card or valid dl, it all expired. I don't have any other ID other than a birth cert.

Congrats!!

U could probbaly take one of your other NOA's for the medical. I had mine in Halifax, and the DR didn't ask to see anything (except for the required # of pics) but some places can be a bit picky.

NO, ur husband does not have to attend. My wife did not. Should be fine for ur son to attend, how old is he?

Passport on the same day? hard to say, someone just recently just got thiers back the next day at mtl, but that's not always the case. One can always ask, and explain ur situation, but its not something I would count on! You might want to think about getting soem other type of ID--lot less stress on ur self that way!

Congrats! A number of us are waiting for Montreal interviews - may I ask what date yours is and when you got the appointment letter, and maybe when the letter was dated?

Congratulations on nearing the end of Part I

Here is a link to the specific instructions for MTL NVC:

http://travel.state.gov/pdf/supplements/MT...L-0003-0808.pdf

Here's everything that I took with me last month to MTL:

1) medical results and xray

2) gigantic xpressport mailer (314mmx394mm)

3) 2 passport photos (duplicates)

4) valid passport

5) about 10 or so photos from our life together

6) interview letter

7) copy of police certificate

8) copy of marriage certificate

9) copy of long form birth certificate

10) 3 years of tax returns (they sure don't look like Canadian tax returns)

11) NOA2 from USCIS

12) a sampling of plane ticket stubs

I also provided everything before the interview, I brought these copies just in case. None of it was reviewed or even asked about.

I am not much of a gambler - so I wouldn't bank on having my visa issued the same day and getting your passport back. I would plan on getting it in the mail.

Here is a link to the government ID requirements for air travel. Perhaps you can use your birth certificate and something else that they recommend on this website?
