Check out montreal consulate review and you'll see my review.

After you read it, come back here for my questions :-) Why did he say we should get advanced parole when the stamp in the Visa book should act as green card? We plan on POE-ing this saturday before my sisters birthday party, IF it comes...

Oh yes, I also asked if I can get it two hours later today, he said, no - nice try.

Also to note, another girl there said she didn't have her xpresspost envelope and when she told the lady at the window that...they just said, "ok"...

also I want to give everyone a big thanks for helping me out. I really feel like an immigration lawyer now lol. This other couple there said they started this process 2 .5 years ago!!! They mentioned they had a lawyer too, I wonder if that's why. I also think I was the only one there with EP. The lady at the booth mentioned that EP actually causes more work on the people behind the booths as they have to print everything out.

I want to thank everyone for your help! You have prepared me and everyone else so well. I was totally prepared. I had another folder with more evidence in case I needed it, nope, I did not need any of it at all. Talk to you all lata.

and good luck wyatt

Thanks for the great review, Mike!

Interesting about the DS-230 Part II! I'm definitely NOT going to sign mine. That's something that can wait, if need be.

I'm just in the process of packing for my trip to Montreal right now. Any last minute suggestions for documents I should have?
