Hey guys I'm a little lost here,

just a quick question:

NVC will email me the DS3032 or I need to email them? It's a form right? But the one I send to them there is no bar code and they would send me one with my bar code, is that correct?

Also, if they do send it, how long does it takes? roughly ....

Thanks a lot!

Upon suggestion of a VJ member (thanks foobaz123), I have decided to create a FAQ of the most common questions I see here on VJ concerning the NVC process. If you know of a common question that isn't

In the initial information package (for me, anyways), there was an old DS-3032 included. But you don't need to wait for that. Follow the template on the first post. Look for 'DS-3032 Email Template'. You're not sending the form, you're sending the form data. Please refer to the link.

LOL!!!! That's funny :D My money's on Neela - I'm a softie, deep down :P

I really am trying to think of questions about the recent interview experience you had, but my brain's mush...I know it's time to sit down and prepare myself but how much depth should I get into??

One thing I thought of as you don't drive, do you have a license or government ID because you are going to need it for your flight back.

Wow been busy....

I briefly checked my facebook today and recieved a message from Shell: "Call DoS!! Neela got her interview" So I did.. June 4 at 8:15 am!!

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

when I booked my medical they told me to allow 2 hours. I was there for just over 2 hours as I sat around a long time waiting for the nurse. Hubby went off to do his own thing while I was prodded and poked.

Shell, Sheeskabelle and Gad (& any other Montreal interviewees) - any info/recommendations you have on hotels close to the consulate would be greatly appreciated, please! I haven't started to look into any yet since I'm not even close to getting an interview date. :blush:

I put the Consulate address into Google maps and then searched hotels. There are a number nearby in different price ranges. We stayed at Hotel Le Dauphin a block away from the Consulate. Breakfast started at 6.00 so we (OK Hubby) was able to get something to eat before heading out. Also it wasn't far for me to walk back and phone him when I had done. And get breakfast as it was still open.

Interview date assigned for June 12,2012 :dance: :dance: :dance: Received email at 4:38pm :dance: :dance: :dance:

Congrats. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
