MTL Timeline to Interview

[CutienPurg 0]

Thanks you guys!!

I'm excited in a sick to my stomach oh my god I know it's all gonna go wrong then I'm gonna be forced to move to Canada and abandon my older children give my house to the bank cuz the market is so bad i cant sell it<big breath> kinda way.

I'm starting to feel nervous about not going to the interview. My husband's 19 yr old daughter has said she would go to Montreal with him and they're gonna do the town. Good chance for them to spend some good ole " dad and me " time. I don't want to interfere as i will have him all to myself from here on out and she wont......but I'm still feeling guilty .....like Ive thrown him to the wolves.

He's sick with worry that he'll make a mistake and I'll kill him ......have him cloned and kill the clones. Probably because that's what I told him I'd do.....

.......see the thing is ......when he was home last , I was going over the paperwork with him, showing him what forms are what etc etc .....and in the middle of it all he simply walked out of the room with me mid sentence. That kinda went over......well can we say ......BADLY! He came back in and we started again ......he walked out AGAIN. After I put my face back together and put out the flames , I explained to him that in no uncertain terms would I move to Canada if he screwed up this interview due to lack of paying attention. He's always had in the back of his mind " oh no big deal , if we don't get the visa , she can move here". Which between you guys, me and the 4 walls .......i would......but he cant know that, not right now. He NEEDS to be serious about this.

I'd really rather have my children finish school here. I have 2 in college, 1 in grade 11 another in 7th and the youngest in 5th. The 11th grader cannot go to Canada and finish high school and I wont leave her behind. It doesn't make sense to me to have my youngest children educated in Canada when the US is where they will live their lives. I have a house that likely wont sell quickly in this depressed market both in Michigan and locally. I have an aged mother who recently had a stroke and is in a nursing home who needs us nearby. Bottom line is those are all preferences i would like to have met......not carved in stone demands. My primary preference is to live with my husband.....PERIOD!

I think I impressed in his mind how important this is and he needs to get on board......but by doing so I scared the beejezus outta him.

ANYway.....it'll probably be a game time decision and I'll hop on a train and rush to Montreal Wednesday

Okay ......stress rant over.....we can return to normal

He's sick with worry that he'll make a mistake and I'll kill him ......have him cloned and kill the clones.

Best line ever!

But in all seriousness, I'm sure everything will be just fine. Maybe copy and paste some other peoples experiences with Montreal and email it to him so he knows exactly what to expect from security, giving them the paperwork and also the interview questions.

We'll all be here cheering you/him on the day of the interview!

I sent him the link to Mao's experience and he just told me ....." ya know I was think today, if those nasty women snap at me , Im gonna tell em to #### off" UGGGGGGGGH.

I said " um I dont think so , they still hold the visa"

he says " yeah I highly doubt theyre gonna deny my visa because some nasty loud mouth<Imus comment> b**ch got put in her place"

I said " JESUS MURPHY JUST BEHAVE"

and we wonder why I get nervous.

Monday Tues will be cram days.......he'll have intimate knowledge of all of the Montreal interview reviews

Hee Hee! This just gave me a huge flashback to the days before our interview. I'm quizzing my husband and he's running out of the apartment for another cigarette -- I'm like, "can you just focus for a few seconds here??" -- he's like, "I wanna go home!!" -- hilarity ensues . . . O.M.G. it was going to be pistols at dawn between the two of us.

These guys (at the Consulate) are like contractors (the ones who work on your house). They leave your house ripped wide open, wind and rain howling through the place -- don't bother calling them, because they're on vacation. In the meantime, you're cursing them right and left -- BUT! When it's all over, you're ready to hug them.

He'll behave. (I think.)

After being told I would most likely get my certificate from the RCMP in August by the Consulate, I received it on Friday the 13th. I will be calling the Consulate and telling them I now have everything they require so I can be added to the interview waiting list.

Congratulations to those that have their date and God speed for those still anxiously waiting.

P.S. after having made a change a short time ago, please add us as having sent packet 3 back on April 16, 2007

Did the consulate mark you down as having sent in your packet 3 at an earlier date?

As you can see from the following I was entered in the system on March 19, but a subsequent call a few weeks later to the Consulate and a conversation with evil one a.k.a the ###### of Montreal who accused me of trying to get on the list without having everything got me knocked off and told to call when I had it all together. So to answer you yes I was on the list for a short while and will be back on it as of tomorrow.

So they knocked you to the back of the list because you asked a question about the police certificate after you sent in your checklist? I just want to make sure I understood that correctly, so I don't make the same mistake lol

I know how you feel. For whatever reason, I feel like a total control freak over this whole process so I don't think I can let my fiance go the interview himself lol. I have to be there just incase or else that interview day, I'll go absolutely nuts.

All I sent in was the DS-156 and the DS-230 part 1, I didn't send the checklist and had no intention of doing so until I received the RCMP certificate since I didn't want a date before having everything in hand except the medical. They assumed that by sending the forms in I had everything, and I am sure that if I had spoken with someone other than the ####### of Montreal they would have left everything as it was. At this point in the journey it really doesn't matter where I am on the lit as long as I am on it.

It is official we are now officially on the waiting list , just need the date and the medical. All that is left now is to see what the timeline is and hope that this lousey weather had everyone working late so they can put out more dates,.

Some update:

Packet 3 sent on December 8, case status = Completed as per Montreal, entered to their system, waiting for an appoitment to be scheduled.

Called today to MTL to find out if appoitment was scheduled.

As of today not scheduled yet, estimated time to be is June, July - got an answer over the phone,

she ( lady on the phone) mentioned that it takes 4- 6 month now as they have long list of applicants, previosly, when called on January 28 was told that it may take 4- 12 weeks from January

As it passed (12 weeks), I thought I may have date in the system... not yet
