CANUCK RAGE!

[Galateia 1]

I may come back to this later, because I am just barely coherent enough to type. My eyes keep misting over- in red.

As some of you may remember, I EXPLICITLY asked the MTL consulate NOT to give me an interview BEFORE December, as I CANNOT move BEFORE May the 1st.

I called MTL, canceled my July interview, and asked for a DECEMBER AT THE EARLIEST interview, and chickface said fine, I will put you back on the waiting list with a note saying DO NOT SCHEDULE BEFORE DECEMBER 2007.

Well lah-dee-dah, I come home to find package 4 from MTL, informing me I have an interview scheduled ... on NOVEMBER 7th!

*insert long string of heartfelt and creative expletives questioning the sexual practices and possible genealogy of the schedulers at MTL, punctuated by inarticulate screams of guttural fury*

And of course, I can't call them now. Lovely. What email address do we use? I've always called them before.

bleepofaBLEEP!

I don't imagine they would have a problem rescheduling. As far as emailing them. I have never tried calling and have always gotten a response to my emails w/in 24hrs

I'm not on AOL? Woops. Fixed.

Thanks for the email addy, Liz! Is it okay if I email them from a yahoo address, or do I need to use something officious?

Ha... on this thread we've got someone who's angry about being scheduled for not one, but TWO interviews within a period of five months; meanwhile, on that other thread, we've got people who are just as angry about being scheduled for ZERO interviews during that same period of time and longer.

Whoever said "life ain't fair" must have worked at the Montreal Consulate.

So true, so true. Some people have been waiting since February and April.

Ah but Galateia sent her packet3 back in Jan. She figured out her priorities and is sticking with them.

Just shows you Montreal is moving faster now. Otherwise she probably wouldn't have gotten one till 2008. Pretty soon everyone in the Canada forum is going to be gone *sigh*

Good Luck Galateia!

Haha I was just thinking the same thing. oh the irony!

Inquiring people like to know " isnt it true once you have the K1 visa its up to you when you like to activate it and move ?

( I heard something to that efect dont know if its true but heard you dont have to move right away once you got your visa aproved , the 90 day expire date count down starts from POE ,

I like to know if anyone heard of that ?? , and is there a timeline from when you resive the visa till you move will the k1 expire if you dont activate it within 4-5 month ?

cose if thats true Galateia could still go in nov but only activate it when she /he is ready to move or not ??

[misa 2]

Lona, there's a expiration date on the K1 (6 months from date of issue). It needs to be "activated" before that or it's null and void. After you enter the K1 is essentially "void" since it's a one time entry and then the clock starts ticking with your I-94 that you are issued (90 day validity). Going for the November interview would cut things a little close though if she can't move before May 1st.

Galateia, hope you can get this cleared up and hopefully they can give your spot to Kimmbo's husband.

oh ok thanks so much for clearing me up on this Misa

( knew someone with good knowledge in immigration will come to my rescue , was realy wondering if that was true

[LadyJane 1]

I'm sure that any of the CR1/IR1 folks who have been waiting since April for an interview would have been happy to take one of the interview slots. I wonder what the consulate does when someone cancels their interview? Go to Tims for an extra break??

[Flames9_RN 358]

I thought I read somewhere that one can only put off an interview for soo long before one has to start over again, but I could be wrong!!

I guess Im the only one that sticks up for Mtl, lol I know when my wife worked at State dept, and how many of her friends still do, and we have relatives that are foreign service personnel(the people that work abroad in the consulates) they are over worked so there is no slouching off just because of a cancellation!! Just means that other work that was next in line got worked on next. Glad to see Mtl is speeding up.

[Sprailenes 47]

I think that a petition can expire yes. That happened to me. Thats why it took me so long for me to get a visa.

Not because I put the interview off though. I didn't get one of the packets in the mail, as I had moved.
