Yay Francie! I got mine too! I was nervous about opening it but they make it pretty clear the part you can't open with those "DO NOT OPEN" warnings all over it :lol:

Isn't the visa fancy? I expected it to be a boring 'ol black and white stamp. I see Lincoln in the background! This makes me feel special :thumbs: (I studied Lincoln pretty thoroughly in some government classes, I loves him :blush:)

I don't think either of us are calm and relaxed :-) I hate not knowing when its all going to happen! I know others have been waiting or had waited longer, but this part is enough to make one nuts!

We have our interview next tuesday, and leaving to Montreal on Sunday, staying until Wednesday for some tourist time in QC so I can practice my Quebec French. Well tourist stuff only if everything goes well, otherwise, I'll be crying all day at the hotel.

We're staying at the Sofitel, stay 3 nights and the 3rd night is free. SOLD!

Time goes sooooo slow. I've be cheking, re-checking, re-re-checking our file and documents, the order, made copies, re-copies, re-checked, where is my passport, oh and the ID photos are they in the file? ... OMG I'm going crazy.

We still need the envelop and the 131 USD. That is tomorrow's mission or saturday's.

Oh and i have to print directions too since we're driving there.

This is soooo exciting to read about the stress of the interview. I know I'll be there eventually! I already have my birth certificate translation and should receive my police certificate early next week. I will probably make an appointment for the medical next week or the week after. My fingers are burning to cal DoS, but I'll wait....

It's sooooo nice to hear you all saying that you will do a little tourism in Montreal.....It is such a beautiful city and I will miss it dearly! Have a wonderful time, and of course, hope all goes well at the interview!! :)
