FINALLY got the word from my fiance that he mailed off the I-129f docs on Friday to VSC!!! :) YEY, we'll finally be in the system.... so I'm just wondering, if we get NO1 by the end of the month, and then another 2-3 months for NO2, how long is it taking MONTREAL Consulat to schedule interviews these days? I did a timeline search on VJ and it says about 2 months, but I thought I read somewhere that they are super slow and taking more like 3-4mth...... to all you Montrealer applicants, how long is the wait for an interview?

Thanks

At least you got one 3 weeks of email ( 3 times) and no response for me! IT took a phone call. Good Luck!

I'm stil amazed how the process has seemed to really slowed down. My cr-1 was completed in a total of 6 months, that was back in 2004. Hope the speed picks up and enjoy Tim Hortons while you can.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
