wow 70 - 80 days timeframe to interview now , looks like MTL is realy trying to get all the love together for xmas , ( might be a new babyboom by sept 08 , lol )

lol my dad was talking about the exact same thing - (joking) not about a baby boom but about a possible reason there isn't one...immigration taking so long. It was funny.

Bite your tongue I'm 47 I'm toooooo old to start momma things :crying::blush::blink: But It would be funny in a sick sort of way.....

and one more question.. I had to submit the DS-156 forms with the barcode in packet 3, right? (I'm asking b/c it's been so long I can't remember..)

anyway.. since Oliver's moving and his job phone number has now changed, should I be re-filling out that form to get a new barcode?

Well, I did anyway.. :innocent:

but I'm going to take the old DS-156 & the new one to the interview..

my question though is that the barcode looks weird on the 3rd page.. it's like it's running away off the page!

here's a picture:

that doesn't look right and it certainly doesn't look like the barcode on the old DS-156..

I would print out a new one with the job change just in case (I also have to take a newer version of one of the forms to reflect that my mother in law is now deceased)...

I would *think* that as long as they can read the number it should be fine...

*opinions welcome*... the last time I contacted Montreal (email) to see if we had an interview date was Oct 2nd and we got "no sorry no date yet, might be another 2-4 months", do you think its too soon to send them another email? especially after Toronto/New York got that long generic email..hmmm..

For the xpresspost envelope, do you write Montreal's US Embassy's address in the FROM section as it's written on packet 3 or 4?

I did write their address in the return address fields and I think they liked that - probably saved them some time.

I guess there's no harm in emailing - at worst you will get the generic email that i received... it's up to you. my last email to them too was Oct. 1... just a day before your last email to them. let me know what you decide! good luck!!! : )
