I realllllly hope we hear something by tomorrow or Monday...I was looking back at when the last batch found out when there interviews would be for June..they found out April 16-19 for a interview in June...So if we are lucky, maybe this will be our week we find out for a hopeful interview in Aug or late July would be great too..I know Montreal doesn't have a pattern that they work by...but here's to hoping... :unsure:

AandB...I hope you have a safe POE, can't wait to hear about it!

Hey beantown. Yes, we had to pay the new fees. People who didnt have it had to run to an ATM to get it.

I know, I dont think it's right that they would impose it like that with no notice, after we got a letter clearly stating it would be 131$. But whatever, nothing we can do about it. In the end, I was just happy I knew abuot it ahead of time.

For the tax forms, I gave them copies (even had a post-it saying "copies to give on" it) and they took them and kept them. I had originals with me in case they'd want to verify anything but never asked for them. The only thing I got back was my original birth cert.

I wanted to ask about upcoming interviews and KevBev after I got approved (provided all went well) but once I heard the magic words, I was so elated, my mind went blank for a few minutes.:P There's a couple of little things I wanted to ask about my own visa I just forgot too.

Good luck on your interview beantown79! Don't worry if you forget to ask, I would't bother! They might think you're an immigration spy and wonder how you know we don't have dates yet! :P

When are you POEing, Kizza?

Well, good luck to everyone who'll be calling today! I'm leaving in a week, and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF! :D So excited!!!

:dance:

Not exactly sure when I'll POE. Now that it's sorted out and that Matt is here, Im in no rush! lol I love Montreal in the summer.

But he wants to go, so maybe as early as the 27th or 28th.

I hope you guys get interview dates today!!

A bunch of you have trips lined up... that's when we got our date, once we had made plans to see each other, figuring we might not get an interview until August anyway.

It seems like they've been working on clearing some cases this week. It's your turn!!

Gosh, I hope you're right Kizza...Getting a date before I leave might help with the stress!

I saw in your review that you were denied once when visiting? And I can see that it didn't affect your approval... That's relieving, I'm a little worried about next week, but now at least I can see that it'll be ok even if I get turned at customs...

God... The stress :wacko:

Breathe! Breathe!

You arent doing ANYTHING wrong to visit. Not a damn thing, its going to be perfectly fine.

They have no reason to deny you, you will have ties with you in case it comes to that, you will answer truthfully, and to the point when they ask questions, no rambling ;)

Let it slip to the back of your mind, focus on getting ready, packing and planning what you are going to do with your man when you get there.

Its going to be just fine Vero :)
