I have an appt to go back tomo at 3 so I think so but not sure :)

Id say yes!! Congrats!! At 1 time you got the Visa in afternoon--then it was next day....good times!! Congrats

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

Hello Everyone,

I have my interview in Montreal in 2 days. I have read that if you currently live in the US they may return your passport back to you the following afternoon after your interview if you are approved. I am currently legally residing in the US and am wondering if anyone out there has been granted this passport expedite. Any suggestions etc would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks so much :)

We had our interview Monday November 19th, had passport back Wednesday November 21st. They are pretty good at getting them back in time without any issues.

Well I went to the Embassy today as they told me too at 3pm.. By 4pm I had my passport with visa and sealed package in hand.. I was smiling from ear to ear.... So if there are any other Canadians living in the US legally out there.. You can get your passport back the day after your interview if they choose to let us.
