I also didn't book my medical until I had packet 4 as the instructions are in it. I booked my interview first then called to book the medical to insure that it would be in plenty of time before hand.

So how are you all handling the CSC site- what I mean is : Is the person registering on the CSC site for appointment and DHL the U.S. citizen or the Canadian beneficiary? Is this also where we pay the

BM, Yes, you can send off packet 3 before you get the hard copy. I called DOS several times to ask if Montreal had received my file from the NVC. (In my case, this took about 3 weeks). I sent pack

I sure will!! It turns out ViaRail now offers free internet... you guys, I am on a train! And also on the internet! I didn't think Via would ever get so generous.

Anyway! I'm going home Thursday afternoon so I will have a good block of time to let you know how it turned out. My biggest fear is that my Dutch police certificate hasn't been requested and is not in Montreal - NVC or the consulate must request it from the Amsterdam consulate, and though we've been after the consulate a few times (and NVC too) to make sure they're taking care of that, we haven't heard anything back. I had almost forgotten about it, to be honest, until my ride to the train station mentioned it... 24 hours to go!

So I had my interview today and the worst part was that the basement elevator wasn't working so wandering through the building toward another elevator, our order was so mixed up couple #2 got #11 by the time we sat down. That was the worst part.

The best part: I was APPROVED! Woohoo! I'll write a review for y'all tomorrow, but it was really quite like all the other reviews (except for the broken elevator). For now, sweet, sweet sleep!

Oh this is such a cheerful news! I am very happy for you :)

Please do write a consular review when you do have a few minutes to spare.

:lol: Well that explains why it took awhile for the guard to move us from the basement to the elevator. He said absolutely nothing about the broken elevator to us. I agree, the waiting was the worst part. I wish I brought a book. But I think I would have been too nervous to read.

Grats on approval! I got approved as well! :D
