Delaying DS230 Intentionally

[sdhiman 0]

*** I am posting this here as well to get a Canadian perspective on things from people dealing with Montreal Consulate****

My DS230 fee is available to pay now on the website. As mentioned earlier by a few VJ'ers we should wait for a day before paying the fee and sending DS230 package to NVC.

I have a question specifically for people applying at Montreal consulate. I have everything ready to be sent to NVC with regards to DS230 package but I do not want to do my medical before Dec 15, 2009. I'll turn 27 on Dec 15 so wouldn't have to worry about Gardasil vaccine. I know Montreal consulate is really slow and I'll be VERY lucky to get a December interview but just to be on the safe side, I want to delay sending in DS230 package to NVC.

Will there be any issues with delaying the package? How long do you think I should delay it? I am doing electronic processing if that makes a difference.

Thanks for your help!

There are so few people who have done the electronic processing that I don't know that you will get a really accurate answer.

Should be no harm in delaying it a month.

What I would personally do is go ahead and continue and not delay the paperwork. Then if by some miracle you were scheduled for an interview in December, you could show up for the interview and let them know you are deferring having the medical until after you turn 27 - then send in the medical when you have it so they can complete the paperwork for your visa.

Thanks Trailmix!! That sounds like a great plan :-) I dont think I'll get a December interview but I just wanted to be sure of all my options and then make a decision. Thanks again

you must be very lucky in order to get a December inteview... since u will need to wait -4 months between "case complete" and the interview date,I really don't suggest that u should delay DS-230 package....They move very slow anyway..

good luck
