Julie and I passed through immigration at JFK about 3 hours ago. It was extremely easy. I'll write more later in the reviews - but we are so exhausted after our 26 hour flights from Australia that we are napping now!

Soooo I was bored, and wasn't sure if I should sit on hold with NVC for grins and giggles or log into the Visa Status site for absolutely no reason.

My original Status Updated Date was July 3 2014, I log in just now and see it was updated to yesterday's date. Does this happen often??

When I check my status through the caec visa status check, it shows the status, but I don't see any place where it shows a date. Could you share the link that you are using? thanks!

thanks. That's the same link that I was using. Just signed in it through your link and still no dates. Has it shown dates for you the entire time? or only until your package reached the embassy? Our package is currently on it's way, but there are no dates showing. Guess I'm not meant to see!

I think the Case Creation date should be there (funny, I can't remember 2 weeks ago lol).

I do remember that the Status Update date did not appear until my case changed from In Transit to Ready.

My dates changed 3 times I believe. It showed as Ready on 6/30, but then the case status update date showed 7/8 of Ready. Not sure what's going on there.

Big Question?

Got interview date, but login at CEAC website say's following:

Your case is ready for you to schedule an interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal. If you have already scheduled an interview appointment, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the Consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment.

Have already registered for courier service, Do we need to schedule appointment as well ? Was thinking NVC already did that. Or is it required. There were 2 options when registering. 1) make appointment and register for courier service. 2) Register for courier service only. I selected for number 2, since NVC letter listed interview date and time.

Now I know why it is called a Journey....

7/6/2014 - NOA 1

4/11/2014 - Case Number assigned

4/22/2014 - AOS packet sent

5/2/2014 - DS260 completed

5/11/2014 - Checklist for not putting N/A in section 3 of 864ez

6/23/2014 - Case Complete

6/30/2014 - CC email

8/13/2014 - Interview MTL.

No, you don't have to schedule an interview, just the courier. ^_^

Hey guys - Kind of a dumb question, but I'm very curious. If the consulate is giving you a sealed envelope that can't be opened until the POE, what proof do you show that you have a valid visa before traveling? I know some connecting countries check to make sure that you have a valid passport and visa before you can even board the plane to the US. For me personally, when I make the trip to Vietnam and I'm connecting in Hong Kong or Tokyo, the flight attendants in Hong Kong or Tokyo will check that I have a valid visa to enter Vietnam.

Thanks!

The passport/visa will not be included inside the sealed package - but as someone mentioned, if by some rare chance it is, take it back to the Consulate for revision.

Interview is tomorrow.. just want it over and done with!

Good luck!!!

Julie and I passed through immigration at JFK about 3 hours ago. It was extremely easy. I'll write more later in the reviews - but we are so exhausted after our 26 hour flights from Australia that we are napping now!
