Hi there,

I did a search on the timelines to see if anyone goes for an interview in Vancouver if they are doing the I-130. It came up with a few, but the timelines weren't completed, which makes me wonder if it's possible. Is MTL the only consulate that does this. I might be interested in going forward with the I-130 if the interview could be in Vancouver. I beleive we will be going there for the K3 since we live in Sask.

yep mtl is the ONLY place for cr-1 or ir-1,

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
