I had done my interview today (CR1) and I am approved, after the weekend I have back my passport! :dance:

The guy only asked me 2 questions, -Where did you meet your husband and when did you marry him?... After 10 minutes I was on my back out from the embassy! They never asked for any proofs either.

Now the visa process its over for this time. Thanks VJ friends for all support! I’m going to celebrate with a weekend in the mountain and skiing. My husband come to Sweden next week and we are going to have some vacation in Scandinavia before I leave.

Good luck friends!

congrats cris11 and good luck for your future!! :)

Congratulations :dance: Best wishes for a wonderful future together. (F)

Hey guys! Just wanted to let everyone know that we received our appointment for May 27th!!!!

YAY, congratulations. :dance: The time will fly now!

:dance::dance::dance:

I can't dance very well, but I called the NVC automated system tonight and was overjoyed to hear the system say that my case was completed on April 7th. I guess when the supervisor looked over my case everything was there - just as I thought it was.

So the wait is on now for an interview - June would be perfect but July would be more realistic.

Thanks for all the positive messages.

Janet

So happy for you Janet. :dance: I think you may be in good position for a June interview in Montreal. July for sure!!

I just did my medical this a.m. and I had to prebook it. I think every office and country may have its' own protocol. Perhaps you should try to go as soon as you can just in case they were misinformed. That way you will still have time to book one if necessary. Good luck!

Hi everyone,, first of all i want to congratulate all of us who are so close, we can taste it, those who have had their intervew and already have been approved and those whos spouse already have a date to come over.. Now with that said i am soooooooo excited because i just received an email setting my interview date for June 2, 2009..... i can honestly say i couln't have gotten through this process if it wouldn't have been because some of the great people on this site and wealth of information thats being supplied at no cost to us here.. i really appreciate that founders of this site but more the contributors, that people who every now and then send you a message to see how your process is going, and or if they have any questions.. Again thanks everyone, i know i am still not done but its so close, i can't wait ....
