"No available appointments" in Montreal

[Udella&Wiz 325]

It may be as simple as reuniting married families - those of us who are/were K1's may not agree but there's a case for that.

The waiting is heart breaking but once its done you don;t look back on it and the next phases once you';re together are so much easier. Of course easy for me to say 7 years later

I love that the K1 wait is so much shorter now - we literally applied in Jan '07 and they assigned interviews back then - ours was in Oct '07 - 10 months just about killed us

I always count my blessings for my fast trip. I think at the time, when i-130 were sent to local offices Denver was quick maybe because my husband is a veteran? Not sure. We were lucky none-the-less.

Only 6 months back in 2004 for the cr-1...... Back then it was pretty even for cr-1 and k1...with the k1 still a bit faster.............

[NikLR 13,227]

Seems to be taking longer and longer.

A new block from January 12-15th is available right now. Make sure to select the K1 option and pay as the Ready to Schedule option did not display a K1 choice for me.

Good luck!

S2BMZ - some appointments came up this morning (nothing at 8am, a few days showing available at 11am).

Log on and book one! I took the first day available which was the 13th. Good luck!

I am on my way to the US and running behind - sorry - January 13th.

[NikLR 13,227]

Book em while you can. Don't worry about the time. First come first serve!

Thank you all SO much!!! I was at work and my phone kept going off so I finally checked it and was able to book!

February 18th for me, forgot to include that We're going away from Feb 1st-Feb 15th so we wanted to be sure my passport would be back

And on that note - are we able to visit the US between appointment and actually using the one time only visa? I use Nexus when I cross. Just wondering because we have some free time around then and could visit friends and places.

You might be able to, you'd have to ask. It may be okay because you use your NEXUS but it's up to the CBP. After you activate your visa I do not recommend leaving, even using your NEXUS, until you have your AP.

Thanks NLR - I was pretty sure that leaving the US until the AOS is completed was a bad idea (tough because my dad is aging and infirm, but I will insist with him that he stay well during that time ).

I will ask. Is the interview the time and place to ask such questions? I had already thought to ask about about what might be done should my dad fall gravely ill. The between having been granted the visa and actually using it just occurred to me.

[Flames9_RN 358]

Yes, once it is endorsed, for sure do not leave.....if something comes up..one can apply for an Emergency Advance parole

[NikLR 13,227]

No the CO can't really inform you in what to do when it's under the CBP's jurisdiction and vice versa. The travel before endorsement is always a CBP issue. Some people have no issues and others do. That lack of travelling is part of the reason why we did not go the K1 route. In fact it's the major reason why. But emergency AP is there for you to apply for in and emergency, which hopefully will not pop up.
