Hi

It just hit me like a ton of bricks..When I got back down to earth I realized my husband's

interview is on a Friday in Montreal..

Does this mean he will not recieve his visa (if approved) till Monday? I was under the impression

that they didn't give visa's same day there. Is this true?

Has anyone had this to happen to them?

I don't know if they have changed it but when I got my K-1 there in March 2004, my interview was in the morning, then they said to go and have lunch and come back at 3 o'clock. My passport with the visa was waiting for me when I returned. I don't know if K-3s are handled the same way as K-1s but I think the process of issuing the visa would be similar so unless someone says differently, I don't think you need to worry too much about waiting the weekend.

“...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?”

Times have changed!! They wont issue it till Monday! You can wait OR give them a prepaid express post envelope. Montreal no longer does same day K1,k3, cr-1 or ir-1 visas!!

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
