We just got the notice that our visa petition was approved (NOA2). Oh joy! Oh bliss! What an amazing day that was (Monday).

Now were looking at what happens next. I was wondering if there are any Canadians who have gotten their interview date in Montreal who can tell me what to expect next. Is the application going to go to New Hampshire or Montreal? and of course how much time it took between getting the NOA2 and the DS-3032? One step at a time.

I am so looking forward to the day that I am actually crossing the border and that they stamp my passport. I hope it's not much longer (crossing my fingers).

New Hampshire. Start calling their help line after about a week--to be honest, I called starting the very first day, and they logged me into their system yesterday--I was so shocked since it only took them 9 days even though they say it could take up to four weeks.

Congratulations!

Have a read through this guide that member Saylin generously prepared. It will give you an excellent overview of the electronic processing procedure for Montreal applicants.
