Thanks Zirq :)

hard to type with fingers still crossed ;)

I've been keeping an eye on various threads... looks like there are about 6 of us (self included) with CC's in the later half of May waiting..... still hoping to hear soon :)

My youngest is turning 7 on Wednesday.... I've kinda been thinking/hoping it'd be a nice bday present from nvc to give us an interview date either tuesday or wednesday.... everything on my end is on hold pending the unknown....

Though we're keeping busy with packing and purging.... I'm out of my rental the end of this month and we'll be staying with my dad between July 1 and POE ((he's excited to get to spend that extra time with his grand babies, and me "the granddaughters personal taxi driver" LOL))

aww the not knowing...is the hardest. But hoping the move goes smoothly. am just hoping my medical results come back before I leave on 12th...Im staying with family in ottawa for a few days...and am hoping they approve me swiftly as its my bday on 15th June and it would be a nice bday present to receive on the 17th!!!

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I joined this forum because i felt I could use the support...has anyone found this process to be emotionally draining? I am finding myself crying weekly because i just want to be with my husband and start life with him and start a family with him. Why does this process have to drag on so ridiculously long? It's defeating. But on the positive side, we're onto the last step and sure hope we get an interview date this week.

Hey Chanteuse - i feel ya. I am in the same boat except i was lucky to make a June interview - that time away from the hubby and emotions rising high. Its a horrible feeling because you are in limbo and feel you can't really move on with your life because of this one thing. Praying you get an interview soon. You have gotten this far...its just the final stretch...all the headache will be worth it when they say APPROVED!!

I got my interview date on the phone July 9, 2015 they will send me the email in few days.

Congrats thats awesome news. Make sure you book your medical in time. I went to Dr Randall T Lee - they take about 10 days for the reports to come back from the bloodwork and the X-ray. Only thing is you have to go to his office for physical exam, somewhere else for the blood work and then another place for the X-ray - mission for me coz i don't have a car but if you do then its all good. He was really nice.

Oh my!!! I just call and got my interview date!!! This is the best day ever! :):):)July 13th!

Congrats Duvalin!! awsome.

:dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing:

Got our dates!!!!

All three of us (myself and two daughters) confirmed by Kathy!

July 24th at 9 am

<3 <3 <3

Yay - I feel we should just have a party when we get our interview dates!! LOL. So happy for you guys!

Dr Randall was really good for the medical by the way.

that's what I'm thinking too.... I'll call all three Toronto doc's first thing in the morning and see who I can get to first......

The NVC to Embassy trek the paperwork is about to take.... if they just gave us the verbal confirmation today, what kind of time frame before they send them out? I've been watching the DHL shipping and there is a package going to MTL daily! LOL :) Is this where we start checking CEAC for "in transit".....

Thanks!!

it shouldn't take long a day or so i registered on the US Montreal site about 2 days after I received the interview letter and from there you can change your interview and register for Loomis as well.

Hi Canadiangirl, just curious, about to schedule my medicals too. Do you know if the medicals are ready within a few days? I kind of would like to pick them up while I am in Toronto. I don't live there, so i will probably take the train or drive. Thank you!

FYI I had my medical with Dr Randal Tell 27th May - they told me that it would take 10 working days for results to come back - best to call the other two places and check with them.

I know that Montreal one is ready within 3 - 4 days so if you want you can call them and maybe go montreal a little early? its near the consulate as well.

Yay! he is so nice. so just FYI

$235 you pay to the doc office

$15 for the bloodwork

NVC can't change the date.... you have to send an email to the Consulate..... Dwheels has a suggested template in the first post.....

Keep me posted if you get one :)

awww, what I meant was the medical exam. I forgot that I need to call the medical office of the panel physician. I have no intention to change my interview date.

My Journey:

March 29, 2013 :PD Dec-20, 2013 USCIS approval date July 28. 2015 (F) (F) (F)Interview Date APPROVED.

Zirq do you know the likelihood of getting an earlier interview date once you register your interview?

Just have a question when you register your appointment online they ask your passport number, case number and ds 260 number. What is ds 260 number is it a invoice number.

I have no idea sorry! ...I just stuck to the date they gave me. I think Christina mentioned that once your register the interview online you can contact the consulate directly to request date change..I guess that would depend if anyone before you has cancelled. dwheels has a sample email on the first post of this thread that you can use.

Just have a question when you register your appointment online they ask your passport number, case number and ds 260 number. What is ds 260 number is it a invoice number.

the DS-260 confirmation that you filled out and printed and need for the interview (go to CEAC and print it if you haven't already)- it has two barcodes one is your case number (left) and the other barcode on the right is your DS260 confirmation number. Put that in. Then all your details for your interview will come up.

Does anyone have any experience with the time between CC and interview in Ecuador? Ecuador doesn't seem very busy- or I just can't find much info on this embassy....... I really hope it's not to late for a July interview
