NVC Filers - April 2012

[Trav&Shell 83]

Not sure how I would do it though.. I do know calligraphy, so that might be nice...

And that is an AWESOME goal I had the very same one and mine came true

So I'm going to show up at 6 AM on interview day, with Trav, with coffee (poor husband can't function without coffee lol), and with our file folder But with nothing else - we're going to try and get the hotel for two nights so we can just keep everything else in there with a do not disturb sign up And even C2 would be pretty, but C1 is frameable!

:dance: Breaking news, "CASE COMPLETE AT NVC"!!! :dance:

I'm so happy, Cant wait to tell my wife when she wakes up. Time to request Expedite for May Interview

Woo hoo - congrats!!!!!!!!!! I hope you get that expedite!!

You can take another extra 30-45 minutes of sleep and still get C1. I think we got there at about 6:45 (don't know if sure because I didn't have my phone, hah!), and there was no one else there for at least 10 minutes.

Sounds like a great plan I got there around... 6:15 I think? My dad drove fast on the highway and beat all morning traffic I was alone I think for 30-45 minutes, but I did not mind whatsoever. I wanted to be first! And the lack of sleep was well worth it

By the way, there's a Tim Hortons literally one block away from the consulate! That's where my daddy stayed while I was at the consulate He likes his coffee too And yeah, leave your cellphones and all other electronic devices at the hotel room. It won't be allowed inside. Just have your file folder and Trav

Oh good tip! Sleep is a beautiful beautiful thing...lol. I'm sure getting enough sleep before this interview is PROBABLY adviseable!

[Saylin 1,605]

I only got like 3 or 4 hours of sleep I was too anxious to fall asleep, or stay asleep.

It's not hard to be early for something with Trav...all we'd do is probably snuggle and laugh. He's fun Yeah for Tim Horton's a block away - this trip just gets better and better! File folder, Trav, and hotel key LOL...but nothing else

I only got like 3 or 4 hours of sleep I was too anxious to fall asleep, or stay asleep.

LOL...like Christmas morning when you're a kid (if your family celebrates it)?

The real key is sitting closest to the elevator so you can get the right spot (back left). As long as you get that elevator spot, you're golden.

Yeah, you'll have someone to keep you company, so you're good I just watched the cars pass by on the main street and then watch passerby's stare at me with my bright pink hair Apparently pink is too weird, even for Montreal

Have fun at the Timmies Eat a doughnut for me! It's been so long since I've had one

Exactly! Although, I think I got less sleep for the interview than for Christmas when I was a kid

Yup, that's actually more important than getting there early. Someone could get in later, but if you don't grab the right seat downstairs, then they can get the prime spot in the elevator, thus getting the C1 stub.

The night before my interview I woke up with a start as I had dreamt that my visa had been denied because they didn't believe I had a bona fide marriage. The funny thing is that was the one thing I wasn't worried about.

LOL...now I've got "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" songs in my head...I've got a golden ticket...

Grats!

Thanks Saylin,

Do you know the best way to request a Expedite for a May Interview?

Email NVC?

Send a letter to NVC?

Call and ask?

[Trav&Shell 83]

Yeah, you'll have someone to keep you company, so you're good I just watched the cars pass by on the main street and then watch passerby's stare at me with my bright pink hair Apparently pink is too weird, even for Montreal

Trav will definitely help you out with the vicarious doughnut eating I may be too nervous to eat, but he can always pack away some randomly disgusting amount of food! and your pink hair was awesome - if you were interviewing in Winnipeg, your hair would have been nothing unusual for downtown

Now...ok now it's time to map how to get the best elevator spot. back left - so that's based on how it is when you get in, right? You walk straight to the back, left corner?

The night before my interview I woke up with a start as I had dreamt that my visa had been denied because they didn't believe I had a bona fide marriage. The funny thing is that was the one thing I wasn't worried about.

Jeez! Did you manage to get back to sleep after that?

If DoS operator Chris was a little less macho sounding, I'd hug him! The embassy is processing my case - HOORAY!!! He confirmed that Montreal has received it. Guess that's what pending meant this morning...

Excellent!! Guess you won't need to search the St. Lawrence after all!!

[Trav&Shell 83]

Excellent!! Guess you won't need to search the St. Lawrence after all!!

LOL...thankfully, no! That could be messy Great pic by the way!
