Hey Cosmos, first I would like to say congrats on the 10 day wait, My husband and I still have 21 more days... but it's coming!

When we made our Medical appointment (on the 29th in Montreal) they never said anything about bringing a US address? I will have Justin call to confirm with them, but does he need a proof of address, or just to know it? Also do you know if I (the US spouse) can attend the medical with him?

Thank you! 21 days will go very fast girl! :) I am not sure if spouses can or not. I will still be in the states so I won't be attending his. I fly to Canada though next Wednesday, day before my husbands interview and I am torn if I am going to try and go with him to his interview. Sometimes I hear they will let spouses in the Montreal embassy, you would just have to wait in a certain area. I just don't want to cause any waves if that is not the norm. I will wait on the street corner if I have too I guess hahaha

Oh I hope so! 15 days until the medical isn't bad either! I will be rooting for y'all from the sidelines awaiting to hear your approval! From what I've heard you can't go to the interview, but can wait in the lobby. I personally will sit at the Starbucks across the street, because if I can't be with my husband I'd rather sip coffee and be on the wifi then sit in a quiet govn't building lol.

Hello Everyone!

First, I want to say congrats to all the new CCs and, those with interview dates! I'm sure there is a sense of relief, mixed with nervous tension, as it was in our case. You really don't have much longer to go!!!

So my hubby arrives tomorrow. His POE will be Miami and, then a connecting flight to La Guardia. We're so excited!! I hope two hours between flights will be enough for him to be processed, any thoughts?

One other thing, I paid the Visa/green card fee online, however the receipt emailed to me. didn't have his name or A#. Is that typical? How do I check that its received and processed?

Congratulations!

My receipt didn't have my A# either. You can go back to the pay site, and when you enter in his A# and case number and try to add him, it will say that the fee has already been paid.
