Hey all,

I was just wondering if there were any other Canadians with fiance's in California that have applied for thier K1 Visa in March 2008 and are still waiting for their interview appointment? I have heard that some March 2008 applications have been approved, but was unsure about locations and if they play a roll in how long a visa takes to get processed? Im just curious to know if this timeframe is normal(march-sept)? I am going through a lawyer and their offices have contacted me saying that montreal consulate has received the infromation from the NVC, so Im just waiting on montreal now! Just wanted to reach out to my fellow Canadians that may be in the same boat as myself.

I wondered the same thing. This person must have secret language codes with other posters, because I have seen him do this in other forums :unsure:

hehe..it means "moved by Charles" - which is one of the moderators.

MBK is "Moved my Kim" - all the moderaters do it from what I can tell, just so it's know it was moved to a diff forum and which mod did it!

You haven't recieved your packet 3 yet?? And you got approved in July?

I would be calling NVC to see if it had left in July, and if it had, I would be emailing Montreal or Vancouver (whichever you are going through)

I got our NOA2 on Sept 1, and had my packet 3 by Sept 20....

You and your SO need to make some calls to see if it is in Security checks or something at NVC, or to see if your packet 3 got lost in the mail from Montreal or Van...that seems like a long wait.

Did the USC get a letter from NVC saying that your case had been forwarded to the US Consulate in Canada?

I thought that it is a long wait as well. We have been making calls as well as our lawyers. My fiance and I received a letter saying that the NVC received the approved petition, and within a few weeks will be forwarded to the Montral Consulate. Since, I received that letter, I have been in contact with my lawyer every 2 weeks or so(sometimes sooner). Last week I e-maild my lawyer, and he got back to me right away saying that he would contact the NVC and Montreal to see whats going on. On the same day I got a phone call from his assistant saying that it has left the NVC, Montreal has received it and are pocessing it. Montreal has not given them(my lawyers) a date as to when I will get the info, but told them (my lawyers) not much longer. So, I know the petition/information is in montreal...Im just waiting on them. I still can't help but worry(I hope it has not gotten lost), and I wanted to see if anyone else out there was in a similar situaton. What do you mean by security checks?
