Fingerprinting 

From what I remember, most of the conversation about fingerprinting here is about the police check you need to obtain. If your partners case is DQd, they would have already done this, as you need to submit it at the NVC stage. The only reason why it keeps being brought up here is that we were unsure how long it was valid for. It was previously valid for one year, but a few people contacted the consulate and they said it is now valid for two years.

Hello all,

 

I have a quick question. The US consulate website says that the applicants must bring medical examination

results in sealed envelope to the interview. I specifically asked Dr Cheema's staff the other day about this,

and they said medical results will be sent to the Consulate through email, and I didn't need to pick it up there.

 

The FAQ also said that the panel physicians will be sending the the results electronically to the Consulate.

Does this means that I don't need to bring the med exam results with me to the interview? Dr office mentioned

that a CD will be sent to my home address.Do I need to bring this CD?

 

Any replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

Consulates info is outdated. Dr. Cheemas office was pretty clear that the results would be sent electronically to the consulate and a CD along with vaccines report would be mailed to your home address. They said you’ll need the CD for when you enter the USA

  Okay, I figured so. That was also our concern, how long the police check was valid for. She said she was just going to get another one done anyways to stay safe. Thanks for everything!!!!

Another quick question. I will be bringing my small sized travel bag with me to Montreal. I am staying at Best Western which is 2 minutes away according to Google maps. I am wondering if anyone had experience of asking the hotel to keep the bag until I come back from my interview. Since my interview is 10:15, I don’t think I would have enough time to return before 11 am checkout time. 
 

FAQ mentioned that there is a locker in nearby mall. Has anyone used locker before there? Would it be big enough for s travel bag? 
 

thanks a million in advance.

We also stayed at that Best Western. My husband’s interview was at 9:30 so we asked if we can get a later checkout time and they extended it to 1:00 for us. Tell them you’re there for your immigration interview and they should do that for you. We left everything in the room and picked it up after and left.

Thanks so much for letting me know. I appreciate it.

The police records check needs fingerprinting, but that is separate from the biometrics required for the issuance of a green card. 

 

As DGF stated, IR/CR-1 visa categories through the Montreal consulate don't go through a separate biometrics appointment.  The biometrics are done on the spot, at the consulate and are tied to the greencard when it's issued.
