Congrats!! glad to hear that it all went so smoothly!!

Can I ask what hotel you stayed at in Montreal?

[amarceau 0]

hey kimmbo - I actually stayed at the DoubleTree hotel on Sherbrooke E. It was a 10 minute cab ride to the Embassy, but since I'm a Diamond Hilton Honors Member, I used points to book my room and it was free

Well my interview was on Tuesday morning. It's now Thursday night and still no VISA in the mail I hope it comes in tomorrow... My truck is already packet and I only have it for 6 days & I need to drive to Florida ... aarrrgggg... I've tried tracking the Xpress Post online too & there is still no record of it.. arrrgggg.. I'm freakin out right now... I need to be at work on Monday morning. I'm really freakin out..

I hope so too... If it doesn't come in tomorrow, my husband and I are really messed up with our plans... We will have to pay big bucks to get the truck for longer... and who knows what my boss will say when I tell him I can't come to work tomorrow..

WE WERE APPROVED !! YAHOO

Our Appointment was at 8:30am this morning, is now 9:42 and we are already back at our hotel.

Here's our experience:

7:15am - Arrived at the embassy door, first in line. Others in line had backpacks, purses, etc....

7:30am - Doors opened - Showed our Appointment letter, since we had no bags or purses we were allowed throught (THANK YOU VJ!!)

7:45am – Went to window 9, gave them my interview letter

8:15am – Called up to window 11, realized I had gotten the wrong size Xpress Post envelope. Husband went to pharmacy at the corner to get correct size.

8:45am – Called into room 7 for interview

Very nice man. Asked us how / when we met. Asked where we were going to live. And that was pretty much it. He had me swear that all the information I had provided was correct, took fingerprint of both index fingers & said that all information was in order and that my Visa was approved. Eh Voila ! Done He said we would receive the visa in the mail within the week.

And that was it! I worried & lost sleep over this for nothing. It was so simple. LOL

Now we are checking out of the hotel and heading back to Ontario to pack up my stuff and wait for the Visa to make the long drive back to Florida.

I want to sincerely thanks EVERYONE on VJ for all the support & advice. I would have been lost in this process if it wasn’t for everyone out there willing to take a few minutes out of their day to help out us beginners.

Cheers everyone !

Congratulations & be HappY!

Hi amarceau,

I have a quick question for you. Did you bring a copy of your DS-230 I and II? My lawyer said Part I was already sent to NVC while Part II will be sent to me later...later? Like before my interview? I don't get her.

Thanks!

my husband and i were having the same problem. we both called and got different answers different times, and our lawyer says another thing. so just in case, we're bringing both parts signed, and both parts unsigned, hah. juuuuuuust in case.

Sorry....been really busy with the move and getting settled in.

In answer to your question, I didn't bring anything with me other then our proof of relationship (pictures, emails, phone records, etc....) and the XPress Post evelope. I didn't bring anything else with me.. And wasn't asked for anything either.
