How nice of him. I hope you vote for him for what he's done :P

Not gonna happen. I'm grateful for the help, he's my Congressman, that's his job, but I don't believe in his politics.

May/June IR/CR-1 Montreal Interviews

There's a link that shows step by step about Loomis with screen shots.

I would take the CSC confirmation email WITH your P4 document from Montreal. Email Montreal and explain to them you rescheduled your interview and ask them what you should do. They'll take a few days to reply.

1. Saylin i book medical on May 15.The lady told me that i need to bring letter which should be from Montreal stating my name and case no.i told her i rescheduled through CSC and i have thier conformation email and that has no case # on it but the lady was saying the same thing.Anyway should i bring NVC's Packet 4 as well as conformation letter to show her that i reschedule? Will that work?

2.In my conformation email there is a section called Loomis information and underneth shows Markham and adress but no reference number or anything.Is that call Loomis signup sheet?Is it comes along with Interview confarmation email? I didnt sign up for Loomis yet coz i think when i reschduled it was put by the operator.Where can i find the reference no and waybill no?

3.Will the security will let me in with only the conformation email without packet 4? I dont't have packet 4 like shell has from consulate becoz i reschdule NVC's appoinment.Will Montreal give me another packet 4 with Rescheduled date on it?

:help:

1. I would bring both the email letter you got with your original interview date, as well as the the confirmation page from CSC saying you rescheduled.

2. When I signed up for DHL (now called Loomis), it was through the CSC site. Then, on the main page (called applicant summary), it listed the location. And that was the confirmation page. Although, back last year, this wasn't needed to get into the consulate. This is what mine looked like: http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/smurf47/Immigration/DHL/?action=view&current=part12.jpg

3. Same as the medical, bring the original interview letter you got with the June date, then bring the confirmation email when you re-scheduled. That should be fine.

Not gonna happen. I'm grateful for the help, he's my Congressman, that's his job, but I don't believe in his politics.

[...]

Oh, yeah, if you don't agree with his politics and such, then don't, no matter what he did for you guys.

Hi guys!

I need to ask about my DS 3032. About 5 days ago, I emailed the NVC regarding my Choice of Agent and, in a separate email, I also corrected my mailing address that they have in their record. I just got an email saying they've update my mailing address. They also asked I email or post my DS 3032. My question is, should I wait for them to find my Choice of Agent DS 3032 email or should I just go ahead and mail it to them again?

Priority date: 14th October 2011

NOA 2: 23rd March 2012

Case Complete at NVC: 29th May 2012

I've been better....

Grats! kicking.gif

I think he might have been confused with the K1 process. There's no employment authorization on a CR-1. Like you're thinking, you can work as soon as you get a SSN with the stamp in your passport next to the visa acting as a temporary green card.

Remember, the IV bill has NOTHING to do with the AOS bill or package. They're too separate tracks! The IV bill gets invoiced a few days after the DS-3032 has been accepted. Have you sent the email yet?

yes, the email was sent out on 4/27/2012, i guess its still too early, ;)impatient is what i am really, i just want to get this show on the road, like all of us :dance:

Grats!

#######... blink.gif To India?! Like others have said, I really hope they refund you. And most importantly, fix their mistake PRONTO. Good luck...

How nice of him. I hope you vote for him for what he's done :P

Yup, that should be good enough. Make sure to bring your tax information from the previous years though.

Remember, the first page in your IV package has to be the bar-coded cover sheet from the payment portal. And then your own cover letter, etc.

As for the address, it's on the bar-coded cover sheet yes.gif

Darnell I did it in my name but I called NVC and they said that it was ok. This morning I checked her bank account and i see the money coming out, just waiting on the portal to say paid. Thanks and i haven't forgot your recipe, waiting to get a good one from my mom.

Now that's really important. Bug Mom Incessantly.

And Mondo cool on the bank stuff... Yay !

do you guys know how long it takes fr the IV bill to appear, after the AOS bill is paid for and the packet is sent? the operator said 20days, but thats their number of days for everything, lol :bonk:

What a great question !! The answer is in the FAQ section, back at post #1.

Can visit again, logged in from a PC, have a longish read?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Husband sent me his tax papers and some signed documents that I will need for the baby, we managed to sort her am passport out at the same time as we have our interview. He went to the ups to have it sent a while back, now 10 days later we started to wonder what happend to it. It turned out that my mail is go India! Stuck at customs! Hubby went back to ups trying to figure out why and how. It turned out that ups has sent our mail with usps and by accident sent it to india.. Now they are gonna try and get the it back for us even though the lady at ups wasn't sure on how! Sigh!

That's just drop dead funny. I know, not for your and yours..

Perhaps your husband can get a refund, file a complaint, after it's finally delivered.

Hang in there !

Joining everyone!!! HHHHHIIIIIII!!! :blush::luv:

Why are you blushing? You should be having papercuts, instead, from prepping all the paperwork..

Welcome Aboard !
