More great new for the thread today!

 

My husband just picked up his passport from the courier location and will finally get to come home for good! Thanks everyone for all the support. I will update more when he gets his GC and SSN. This has been a long time coming- it's crazy to think our I-130 packet was submitted back in September of 2018. Glad this journey is coming to a close!

You can get titers done with your doctor and get the vaccinations before the medical. Some of the panel doctors don’t do vaccinations on site so you’ll have to check their website to see if they do.

I don't know where you are located but for Mississauga peel you can get a record of your immunization here: https://www.peelregion.ca/immunize/

 

I checked here couple of months ago and noticed I was due for 1-2 vaccines in 2021 so I got them done. Ensure all vaccines (flu, Dip, etc) based on the medical requirements are completed prior to the medical - I attached a picture from Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas office in Toronto. You print out the form and get it signed from your current doctor prior to your medical. Majority locations (Toronto area) require all immunizations completed before but I have heard MTL medical gives vaccines if required (not 100% sure).

I too was also confused about this as well. Can anyone confirm that the spouse aka petitioner does not need to attend?

Quick question for everyone: 

"Only family members listed below in the "Additional Applicants" section who are intending to immigrate at this time must appear at the Embassy/Consulate General on the appointment date" My husband name is under this section, does he have to attend the interview with me? He lives in America, works there, I'm 90% sure he won't be able to come here in such a short time with the quarantine act as well. Is everyone attending the interview with their spouse? 

My wife received a IV, but my name is also in the additional applicants (spelled slightly wrong as well lol). Am... I suppose to go? I'm not sure how. I would have to quarantine for two weeks and it would require me leaving at the end of this week.

I haven't seen this answered yet but please correct me if I'm wrong. Some folks in the FB group are inquiring about whether we need to show proof of health insurance in the US at the time of the interview. Can anyone kindly advise? I didn't see anything mentioned in the FAQ.

[Mat&Michelle 11]

Congrats to everyone who received their letters, happy to see things are moving even if it's the speed it was before that stupid curfew.

No you do not, For everyone who got their IL and is scrambling to answer question I would recommend reading the FAQ, check out: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html?fbclid=IwAR0UzfL5eDFmjBWvK8igA_D_y3N-fQAoXmZaEctPQammho6oLxI9C1bUmb0#pre_interview_checklist and go back through december and january in the first thread that is locked to see reviews of the interview process. The reviews generally include documents needed and questions asked.

I'm seeing it in the FAQ now - my find function didn't return any results for some reason but I see it's next to the public charge section. TYSM for clarifying!

Is anyone else getting error booking their appointment at the US embassy website? Mine says the following: The Immigrant Visa case number provided is not ready to schedule an appointment. If you have not received an appointment letter/email from the National Visa Center (NVC), you can check the status of your IV case at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/nvc.html.

This is normal. Allow 24/48H before you can confirm the appointment.
