Transfer case from Montreal to Vancouver

[James and Daniela 0]

James and I have complained as nicely as possible about the fact that K3 is suppose to get you into US faster than I130. We stated that we have no problem with waiting for our Montreal interview for the I130 (they are the only ones that can do that one) but that we 'respectfully request' to have our K3 transferred to Vancouver for quicker interview date. We gave them all the facts of the differences between the two and that we want to be together as soon as possible and don't see why we couldn't have it done in Vancouver. They replied couple of times with different things and then finally said - give us an address and we will transfer your case, so we did. Starting it at NVC level may be a lot better if possible - before it even goes to Montreal.

Good luck with the processing then:-). Glad to know you could transfer the K-3.

If things are the same as they were a couple of weeks ago, you should be able to get an interview very quickly. I wasn't planning to get my K3 but changed my mind, and sent them an email requesting a date just over a week away. They did it!

Can't say enough about the staff at the US Consulate in Vancouver. They're super-efficient and very pleasant.

WOW!!!!! It worked...Thank You Lord!!!! We got little scared since the time we asked to be transferred to Vancouver, because we had not had even one reply to numerous of our emails to Vancouver (and faxes and calls). But I just got the email.....yes....interview is November 06, 2006. I cannot wait till James gets home from work and I can tell him the great news. We have been dying to be together - as all of you know what that is like.

Congrats on your interview date. It's great that they're doing what they can to reunite people after the IMBRA screw-up.

FYI - one week after our case was transferred from Montreal to Vancouver, we received an email from Vancouver (October 17th). The email was short - confirming that yes they have our case (still with MTL case#) and that interview has been scheduled for November 6th and also informing us that letter is being sent out. Two days later Packet 3 was received at my friend's address in Vancouver. I think this is automatically generated when they receive a case. The packet was basically the same, except requesting the DS230 done online and faxed to them with the checklist (which I do not have to redo - they have all that from Montreal). On October 24th the official letter for the interview was received at my friends' house.

Anyone considering switching over, beware that calling Vancouver or getting quick responses to your emails may not be as successful, BUT they do get you a quick interview, so make sure you have all the things done on your checklist - you don' t want to be caught off guard. Also - as long as your medical is done by one of the Doctors' on the list from Montreal - it is acceptable by Vancouver.

So this is it - flying to Vancouver on the 5th of November (James is meeting me in Toronto and we are going together) and entering US on the 7th with my love. Thank You Lord.

That is great news for you, I am so happy and I am thinking I might do the same thing. On the fence about it as I don't know if I do it before the end of the month I could hopefully get an interview in November. You know it is like moving lines in the grocery store it would be just my luck that it slowed down there lol. Let us know how the interview went.
