It was short and it was sweet. "This is the american consulate calling for Ron" end of call.

Have any Canaliens ever have that happen? All other communication between myself and the consulate has been by mail and e-mail. Anyone care to venture a guess as to what they want?

I have two guesses.

1. They will deny I returned my passport.

2. Due to my age they will want a hugh deposit "insurance" for possible future medical expenses.

I am sure they don't call to say congratulation you made it, and they don't I'm sure call to say numbnuts you fail but there is good news and bad news the good is you can stay in Canada and the bad is you can't come to the United States.

August 9th was the 3rd anniversary of our interview, maybe they just wanted to say happy belated anniversary.

Have a good day everyone

Ron/Sharon

Never heard of that at all Ron. Hope they left a name and number so you can call back. I'd be on that phone with a speed dialer today! Let us know what they have to say! Best of luck...thinking of you! (F) I hear Sharon and you are spending the Labour Day weekend together. Enjoy!

Good Morning Lona, it is strange, and I doubt it is a cake they want to send, more like another dose of frustration only they can portion out. We have gone from strong to a bit less than that but we are still very determined and never thought of giving up. We can take the BS as long as we focus on the end results. I have called and left where I can be reached, hopefully they will call here and not at home.

Hi Carla, I was wondering if anyone in the process had ever gotten a call from the Montreal consulate because I don’t remember anyone saying they had received a call from the consulate in the past. They did leave a number but as you know they don’t answer their phones so I left a message for them to call me at work and if I don’t hear for they in the next few hours I’ll tell them to send an e-mail.

AS for Sharon spending the holiday weekend here that is still up for grabs since has to apply for a new passport, when she moved she packed the other one to well and can’t find it, she should be able to get one within three days according to the people she spoke with, and if not she will take a weeks holidays and still be here but a little later.

Hi Krikit, they didn’t have much to say as you read above, just that they were from the Montreal consulate and their number. I am waiting for a call from them and hope they call me at work since I’m here before they get to work there and leave hours after finish. I don’t know why they called and it can’t be good.
