Hi does anyone know after NVC approves and sets the interview is there anything else we need to get done or is it as simple as receiving the decision at the interview and booking your plane ticket?

Just want to be prepared with everything hence the question.

You're missing a pretty big step between case complete and interview: the medical.

And this differs by country, but you may need to sign up for courier stuff as well before the interview. I suggest you look at the country-specific forum as well as the instructions for your country on NVC's website. You can find the link to this in the wiki (which you should also read, as I detail what needs to be done after the case complete).

Congrats that's great news!

My scan date was 6th March. Did you have some sort of congressional inquiry or something like that? I don't understand how they can miss earlier scans and

Go straight to March 9th scans? Mines was physical mail so I guess it could be something to do with physical vs electronic

Silly question.

Finally have IR1 interview appointment for May 20 @ 10 am

Everything I've read on VJ indicates one should be at the US consulate in Montreal before 7:30 am. and line up outside.

Does that apply for a 10 am appointment? If I were there when they opened, would they turn me away if they see my appointment isn't until 10 am?

thanks

You may want to read the Canadian regional forum for updated information and if you can't find your answer, then create a topic in that forum, as this question is consulate-specific.

If I were you though, I'd line up before 7am, and see if you can get in when they open the doors between 7:30-7:45. Cause if you show up anytime after 7:30, expect to spend all morning inside.
