Like the topic says...here's the thread where ALL of us March interviewees in Montreal (at least fourteen of us, by my count) can hang out and discuss all the preparations for our interviews. It helps to keep all the info in one convenient place, as opposed to forcing Krikit and Kathryn to tear their remaining hair out over redundant threads. ;)

Questions, comments and slightly-off-topic musings are welcome!

Okay, ZansGirl was the voice of wisdom in another thread, reminding me that there was no February discussion thread! So all of you February interviewees can chime in here too. :)

Bonjour :)

I'm still on a little cloud of happiness!

I think we're ready... I have to review my folder and add recent pay stubs from my husband, but that's it! (I'm sure I'll find more little details to tweak and rearrange, like, until the last minute, but I feel confident).

Oh, we even picked the restaurant where we're going to eat after the interview :P

I hope everything will go well for all of us here on VJ.

Also, should my husband have his 2009 taxes done for the interview? Because we're like dead last in March? o_O!

You mean schedule the medical? Where are you going to have it done, Montreal?

Yeah good idea to have your prescription with you anyway, in case you need a new pair right away.

The deadline for filing 2009 U.S. taxes is April 15th - they should not ask you for them - I mean they might, you never know, but it shouldn't be requested.

Yes, I wanted to go to Dr. Howard Seiden & Associates in Montreal. I heard really good things about it. :) But I'm like, do I call? E-mail? lmao
