Confused, need help please.

[Cara Mia 1]

I have an interview that was scheduled by NVC for October 11th at the Montreal Embassy. I have my medical scheduled for October 4th, and they tell my my results will be ready to be picked up the day before my interview, or the morning of my interview if I wish. I have all the documents that are required on the email list I was sent.

But I'm confused about the whole Loomis thing. Nothing on the letter says I need to register for this, but reading other people's experiences talks about having a Loomis confirmation number, so I checked the website on the letter again, and see a note about signing up for a Loomis confirmation number. So I signed up at the Montreal website, and I choose the option to register for courier service, but it always takes me to schedule an appointment, which I certainly do NOT want to do, as I already have one.

Help please! What do I do? Do I need this Loomis number? How can I get it if so? The website is not working correctly for me.

Also, do I need to do anything else? Or have anything else prepared? I have read so much, it's all just turning to mush in my head and I'm worried I will miss something.

You just need to print the summary page once you signed up for Loomis. I think it's about 8 digits long? Basically you just need to print that and show them that you registered so that the consulate can easily find your address once you are interviewed and approved for the visa - they will need to send the passport back to you. Just roam the site until you find your confirmation number

But yes, you will definitely need that number. They won't let you into the consulate for the interview without it!.

But I cannot sign up for Loomis, that's the problem. The website will not allow me to without rescheduling my appointment!

Can I just sign up on the Loomis website?

[Cara Mia 1]

I need help please. I signed up on the consulate site, but it says I have no appointment date, even though I do have one, and it will not let me sign up for Loomis without scheduling a new appointment date. I'm totally panicking here.

The more I read, the more questions I have.

My interview letter says nothing about paying a fee at the Montreal Embassy or at the Interview or on the website, but I have read some people talking about paying a fee. Is there another one I need to pay, and where/how can I do that?

My interview letter states which documents I need to bring, and nothing is mentioned about proof of relationship, but I see people posting about bringing that. Do I need to, or should I stick to exactly what the letter tells me to bring?

I'm still totally stuck on the Loomis thing as well. I cannot get a Loomis signup on the website without scheduling an appointment, so I am afraid to do that in case it will re-schedule the appointment I already have. Also the website wants me to specify my Visa Class, but CR1 is not an option, so I set it to IR, even though that is not correct, but it will not let me leave that blank.

I really need help please.

Ok, I got the Courier thing sorted out, although it's come up as DHL, not Loomis, but I assume this is ok.

Still need to know about a fee? Is this for CR1 visas, or just K-1s? We are applying for CR1, we are already married.

Also need to know if I should stick to exactly the documents requested on the interview letter or if I should bring proof of relationship even though it's not asked for.

Sorry for all the posts, panic totally set it.

There should be no fees at the interview if you are cr-1.

Bring proof of relationship along with everything else asked for.

1 should always bring evidence of ur relationship, just do not go overboard--quality of quantity! 99% of the time for a cr-1, don't even ask for it, but always good to have a few pics, travel receipts with you. I can't comment on a fee for a cr-1---as when I went thru it in 2004 and there was no further fees for a cr-1 at the time of the interview --I stil don't think there is, but can't say for sure.

Ok, thank you both for the replies!
