WAITING and waiting

[tauruslady 0]

OH there are a lot of us waiting!

Trying to be patient but its NOT EASY!

I noticed that in K1 filing it is easier to get an interview than CR1 filing..am I just one noticing it or...who else might?

k1 is a faster visa to get. Has always been like that! Does it make sense, prob not,lol Always a good discussion (argument) over that,lol

I don't know. We don't really have a tracking thread for K1 visas in Canada - from the little I read about them here it seems they are waiting about the same time for an interview as CR1/IR1s

Sorry to hear about the delay you are having taurus!

thanks for the sympathy as I also do feel with Lenie7 and the rest of the members,waiting for a snails-paced interview scheduling( maybe a snail is faster :-)

I just sent Montreal another follow-up again, we'll see how it goes....cross fingers and toes.

Hi Everyone,

Lenie and I were totally wrong thinking it was just the two of us left. I hope all of us get our visas soon so we can move on with our lives! I wish I had known about visajourney before my interview as I had all the documents that they would want, but the list they had asked for is only what I had taken. I wish they would be more specific in their requests! My husband has made me promise that I wont bug DOS or Montreal for about a week now because hes afraid I'm going to piss them off and make things matter worse. I'm sooo tempted though, but I guess a promise is a promise!

Tauruslady, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. You actually went the extra mile to make sure everything was set so you wouldnt have to go through what some of us are regarding sending in additional documents, and now the issue for you is getting a date. I guess when it comes to Montreal there is ALWAYS an issue. I hope you get your date soon and you should demand to have your visa the next day when you do!

Mast3- so does that mean that they haven't even opened up your mail yet? Thats just ridiculous! According to the email I got back from them they said they are processing (opening up the mail) that was received mid-march and you were EARLY mid-march. I hope you hear back soon.

Flames- I actually did email montreal about my surgery, but no response yet. Also, i'm afraid if I send in more documents that might just delay everything even more so im hoping they will read the email and contact me if they need more info instead of me just sending it and them just getting another excuse to delay the processing because of this EXTRA document.

Finally, thank you everyone for all the support. It is really hard for all of us, but we will all get through it...probably will be a little insane by the end of it...but we will get through...

Sorry you're still waiting for another interview date...I think getting the interview was the longest part of the whole process (it took 5 months!). I am sure that you will get a new date soon, since it's been around the 4 month mark for you.

Cowgirl, you're right that we'll all get through it and get approved. Some days are worse than others in dealing with the delay, but hopefully soon those of us waiting will find out something and be able to relax and not stress anymore. It does help to have the support of this forum and know that other people can empathize with us. VJ is a great forum with a lot of great people on it - I'm so glad I found it because it's helped so much!

Good luck to everyone!

Amen To you Lenie7 and cowgirl2..and to others whom I failed to name who are also in a Long Line up with me.

Let's update each other and hopeful our Ordeal will end soon...

I sent an email to Montreal and called DOS, still negative.

[Lenie7 0]

I just got off the phone with DOS and they said that they have approved the visa to be issued! I still kind of can't believe it and will probably feel a little uneasy until it actually arrives. Today was exactly 7 weeks after they received our additional info and this past Tuesday, my congresswoman contacted them, which probably helped.

I'm sure they're coming soon for those of you still waiting!

Thanks! It is a great relief!

I'm crossing my fingers for a big batch to get approved like a couple of weeks ago, so we can all feel relieved.
