Hello everyone, just for information, I just checked my application on www.ceac.state.gov and found that my YOUR CASE IS CURRENTLY AT: MONTREAL, but I still haven't received the email with the interview letter. Does anyone know if I don't receive this letter in the next few days, can I contact the Embassy? My DQ is dated October 10, 2024.

 

First of all, congratulations!

 

You can connect with them, but I highly doubt they'll get back to you.

 

Also, I imagine this means you will receive the Interview Letter very soon, perhaps in the next couple of days.

 

I would give it till the end of the week.

They might not have finished September DQs.

Hello Everyone,

We got our Visas Approved. Many details have been provided by others already. I will try to provide some tips that you may find helpful.

Medical: We got ours done at Dr. Lyndon’s office in Toronto. Tip – book the Lifelabs appointment in advance, may be 1 hour after your doctor’s appointment. If you don’t have life labs appointment you may have to wait for an additional 1 to 2 hours at Lifelabs. Do X-rays before or after the Life labs appointment depending on the time it takes at the doctor’s office.

Immunity test: Do it in advance. It goes to public health and they may take upto 3 weeks. If you are expecting an interview email soon, that’s the best time to get it done and be ready with it. Depending upon immunity results you will have to take additional vaccines.

Also, after your Medical with the doctor you need to give about 2-3 weeks for the doctor’s email confirmation that your eMedical has been sent to consulate. Plan accordingly, so that there is no rush towards the interview date.

Interview: The consulate is right beside RBC ATM. You can see a big RBC sign on the building. There are glass doors with US Consulate Signs. Right across the street there is a big Victoria Secret Location! You won’t miss it especially during night/evening hours with their Pink and shiny LED bill boards. We went couple of days before the interview and took a hotel walking distance to the consulate. Consulate is in downtown so you will find many hotel options. As per my search the two closest to the consulate were Best Western and Sheraton.

You can take your phone but have to turn it off and place in the small locker at the consulate. Format and Questions have been already been provided by others and are case specific.

Follow the process, be patient, focus on the mandatory documents (+ one copy of each mandatory document), photographs.

Thank you to everyone who provided their suggestions, this forum has been of immense help.

@AnnaSalu your DQ is literally 10 days later than Marcelo. So you should receive IL this week too
