Montreal ?'s ---DHL, Expedited Interview for CR1

[sgalasso 0]

So....we are in the final stages of the CR-1 visa approval for my canadian husband. He finally received an interview date for December 19th in Montreal. Here are my questions for anyone that may have the answers.

1. We are needing to appeal for an expedited medical emergency interview date sooner then the 19th of December. We've been told to email everything to montreal-niv@state.gov OR montreal-iv-dv@state.gov with all the proper documentation, etc. Has anyone ever inquired thru Montreal recently for an expedited interview date and who did they send it to and how did it turn out??

2. Secondly we see all of these messages regarding a pre-registration with DHL. We've done everything electronically thru the NVC in the USA so they setup our appointment with Montreal and we submitted all electronic documents, etc which means we received our interview date via email .pdf as well. Nowhere and I mean nowhere in any .pdf we've received from the NVC does it have information to signup for DHL. Is this only required for certain visas??? And has anyone that used DHL to Vancouver tell me how long it took to receive their packet & passport back?

THANKS everyone!!

Hi,

The DHL mention was on the 3rd page of my appointment letter/package. You can also get some info here http://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/us_courier_information.

Good luck!

In P4 (Interview Notice), we were instructed to go to http://www.immigrantvisa.state.gov to find out more about the process. Select "Prepare for your visa interview abroad." From there, you can select Embassy/Consulate-Specific Interview Guidelines for Montreal. That brings up this PDF:

From that document, I read:

After the interview
