Couldn't you just email them a link to the spreadsheet and ask for a date for each participant :thumbs:

Ok maybe not.

but still.. not a bad idea...

:)

So what do you guys do, does someone email to see if they have an interview or does one person email to see if they are starting/finishing scheduling for the month?

There is a bathroom on the floor that you will be hanging out on.

And yes you can go first thing in the morning,even though ur interview is at 0900. Pretty much first come, first served

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I know they don't issue the Visa's the same day anymore. How long does it take to get mailed? My interview is on a Wednesday and I've booked the Uhaul for the following Saturday. If it doesn't come on the Friday, I need to cancel on the Friday so I'm not charged the cancellation fee. Thanks.

I had my interview on a Wednesday .. they assured me that it would be sent out by Friday ... don't believe what they say as they didn't physically send out the package until Tuesday and it arrived to me on Thursday. U-haul was great .. I had picked up the Truck and loaded it on Monday and picked up the car hauler on Tuesday .. because I did this the three day rental started on the Tuesday. It would have only cost me an extra $60 I think if I had needed it for an extra day.

We email and ask if we have an interview yet..

I know they don't issue the Visa's the same day anymore. How long does it take to get mailed? My interview is on a Wednesday and I've booked the Uhaul for the following Saturday. If it doesn't come on the Friday, I need to cancel on the Friday so I'm not charged the cancellation fee. Thanks.

My spreadsheet calculates the average at 6 days..
