Montreal Interview Waiting Room Thread

[ljs 1]

Don't know if this is significant, but our I-129f was touched 3 days ago. That's a month after sending the checklist to Montreal.

Hey gang. My fiancee just called the consulate. Still no interview and the guy she spoke with didn't know where they at, as afar as processing goes. She then asked if she could request a date. The guy said she can, but he can't promise anything. She's requested a date for the week I'll be visiting, which is the week of Dec 10. She asked before about requesting a date and the lady said rather rudely, "You accomodate us, we don't accomodate you!" So that's that. Anyone else call?

ps. We've also decided to postpon wedding plans until March. We'd like to have been married yestreday but the dissapointment of canceling every month isn't fun.

There seems to be one really rude lady there, and then some really nice helpful people. The really rude lady told me last week that a computer does all the scheduling and that they can't do anything about interview dates. However, I've been in contact with them over the past few days and have been told that they are making exceptions/accomodations for those of us whose petitions were held up because of IMBRA. My case is being reviewed and possibly having an interview scheduled. I think however that you have to ask, possibly several times, as it wasn't until yesterday that someone said they were doing this for IMBRA cases and that they would pass my case along. She said she couldn't promise anything, so I emailed today to ask if a decision had been made and received this response: Please allow the caseworker to review the schedule and book your appointment. We have public during the morning and I cannot tell you when she will schedule your appointment. We are aware that you and many others have experienced this IMBRA delay and you will be scheduled soonest. An appointment letter will be mailed to you as soon as it is booked.

I'm not sure if anything will actually come of this, I'm trying not to get my hopes up. If anyone else is in the IMBRA boat I suggest calling, perhaps a couple of times if needed.

Leafgal, keep your chin up You are only a couple of weeks behind me (sending Packet 3 back), and mine was sheduled on Oct 5 (that's when Packet 4 was dated). You'll probably hear something next week.

Thanks J&K I am trying, just sometimes hard, as we all know. Here is to Monday's mail, cheers.

Our IR-1 case was completed at the NVC as of September 14th (according to the recording, anyway).

My hubby just checked the mail yesterday and we have our interview date in Montreal on November 22nd.

It's been a weird ride. I entered on my K3 visa back in October 2004, after having to wait almost a year for them to process the K3 because of the backlog at MSC. The I-130 was approved shortly thereafter and we opted to let it go through NVC/Montreal instead of doing AOS, since I'd be coming back to Canada to visit family anyway. That was the big mistake

We weren't sure if we were going to stay in the US or try to immigrate him to Canada, so we just didn't bother sending the fees to the NVC for a while. Eventually we decided to go ahead with it. Then, the fun started of the NVC not sending the next batch of paperwork, losing the stuff that we had sent in, and waiting forever for my criminal record check from Canada.

This all resulted in the case being completed at the NVC, but still no interview date, so when my K3 expired on October 4th, I came back to Canada to wait out the interview. We figured that'd be better than staying in the US illegally It's weird being apart for the first time since I moved down there, though.

I hadn't bothered changing the address, though, so he got the packet from Montreal with instructions and interview date yesterday. Somehow I need to get the medical forms from him (or find them online), and do the medical, but that's a piece of cake compared to the past few months....

You don't need any medical forms that I'm aware of, just go to one of the panel physicians and get your exam done.

As I recall the DR has the proper forms. Dont forget to bring the proper pics and some want the letter.

Yeah, I went to Seiden in Toronto the first time. It was an... interesting... experience. I think I'm going to go somewhere else this time

They wanted the letter last time. So, seeing as I don't even have the letter, I need to at least get that from him. He's going to bring everything when he comes up here for the interview, but that's not going to do me much good in the meantime.

[Leafgal 3]

Well still no word in the mail yet, hopefully tomorrow. Anyone else hear anything?

[James and Daniela 0]

WOW!!!!! It worked...Thank You Lord!!!! .......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.

[Leafgal 3]
