Medical has been completed. It wasn't nearly as terrible as I feared it would be. I'm so relieved to have it out of the way.

Now, just waiting for the interview date.

Yay! Crossing my fingers that you get a date soon!

David called NVC package left Dec 4th to the consulate. but dhl tracking shows me only one Montreal package on Dec 3rd signed for Nothing since. However i heard that an electronic copy gets sent first.

So how do i know if Montreal received my petition since i cant call them. Do i just email them?

And when is it safe for me to do the online forms with the confirmation pages? everything else is done and done lol. i'm figureing what a month to get my packet 3 at least? with my checkliset etc?

Try checking for packages picked up by by dhl on the 5th. They usually give you the date at NVC before it is actually picked up. If it went out on the 5th, it should be to Montreal in the next couple of days. We emailed our consulate as soon as we saw that it had been signed for per the dhl website. They got back to us the next day. Do you have way to check with them via email? It seems like the easiest way for most consulates! Good luck--you are almost there!

what menina said, if they said the 4th it would get sent the 7th, could have gotten there today, they wont log it though for probably a week. I'd email them next tuesday to see if they have gotten it and to inquire on when you can expect your P3 (they will tell you if they have already sent it out) Once you know when it was sent, if you find yourself waiting more than 2 weeks to get it, ask them to resend it. The second one they sent me only took 3 days to get here, so really it shouldnt take more than a week to get to you. You can fill out all the forms online right now if you'd like, I would wait to book the medical though for a bit knowing how slow the are. Get all of P3 ready so you can send it back the same day. If you need any help, just send me a PM

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

edit - forgot the other question, you can only email MTL, can't call them, and I wouldnt bother starting to do the DOS calls till at least a week after MTL has gotten your P3 back from you, to make sure its logged properly for the interview queue. Anything earlier and they will just sound annoyed.

Hey Jomegared...whats the news? Such suspense here!!!

Sorry sorry.

So, its good. Monday came around and they said, COME TOMORROW. So midnight on Monday my gal starts looking over the paperwork.

FINALLY she realizes the Bio wasn't filled out by our lawyer so she scrambles, calls me, and we get it done. 1am she finally sleeps. 6 30am her

time I call her and wake her up. She goes, sits down with the interviewer and he says......

"So tell me about this arrest."

From there she begins to explain what happened and how she ended up overstaying her student visa.

He says,

"You know this makes you ineligible to receive a visa right?"

She proclaims, "Yes I do and it was my fault for being naive of the law."

He glances over her evidence, looks at a couple pictures and just lets Hanane talk about us.

He says he doesn't doubt the validity of our relationship, but he needs to check with Homeland Security about her.

"I'll call you in a couple days."

The interview itself took twenty minutes.

She was in the waiting room before it for over 2 hours which for CASA is pretty short.

Needless to say fell asleep while waiting. lol. Cutie. Anywho....

Two days go by and im flippin my ######.

He calls her today and says the story checks out, you were under the limit to define an overstay can you come pick up your visa?

To which Hanane replies.....

"No, actually I'm kinda busy right now with work. Can I come tomorrow?"

"Oh...little miss Hanane is busy. Never have I called someone to come pick up a visa, and they told me no! Sure you can come tomorrow." He said.

Thank god. So many ups and downs.

Such a process. Be sure to look for some videos I'm going to make about immigration when reform hits next year.

Thanks all for your support. You are close. Very close, and it will all be worth the wait.

Much love.
