IR1 / CR1 - Montreal Timeline to Interview

[OBX 51]

Shiri:

I hope everything gets cleared up quickly for you. Good luck!

Travis & Kim: Good luck this week at your interview

[to_hope 0]

I have a question, for the postpaid xpressmailer that is self addressed... is that all it needed to be? What I mean is if you got the signature required postpaid xpressmailer and you put your address in the to part, is there anything else it needed? I am just waiting to find out if my husband was approved. We sent in the papers they asked for at the interview and got a letter stating the only thing they needed was a translated birth certificate, he got that and mailed it last Tuesday. I am just wondering if there was anything else that was needed on the mailer? I keep checking canadapost.ca for the tracking number and haven't heard anything yet.

That should be all you need. FrazelThomas has to finish her visa application after her interview too (medical results completed after interview) and I remember that it took a while for her to get hers back too. I think Montreal just sat on it for a week or so-- just keep checking that tracking number and hope for the best! I am so eager for you!

PS: How old is your baby? Pure curiosity

PS: How old is your baby? Pure curiosity

In the photo he was 5 months... he will be 8 months in less than a week.

I have a question, for the postpaid xpressmailer that is self addressed... is that all it needed to be? What I mean is if you got the signature required postpaid xpressmailer and you put your address in the to part, is there anything else it needed? I am just waiting to find out if my husband was approved. We sent in the papers they asked for at the interview and got a letter stating the only thing they needed was a translated birth certificate, he got that and mailed it last Tuesday. I am just wondering if there was anything else that was needed on the mailer? I keep checking canadapost.ca for the tracking number and haven't heard anything yet.

That should be all you need. FrazelThomas has to finish her visa application after her interview too (medical results completed after interview) and I remember that it took a while for her to get hers back too. I think Montreal just sat on it for a week or so-- just keep checking that tracking number and hope for the best! I am so eager for you!

PS: How old is your baby? Pure curiosity

Shiri posted a lovely thread about her lovely baby http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=150987

Thanks for the link!

Shiri your story is so beautifully full of hope. I'm sure you are a blessing to your baby as your baby is to you

Thanks... He is getting so big and is such a joy. When we went to Montreal for the interview... he and his daddy bonded so quickly! It was fun to see the natural bond they had. Things he didn't do for anyone else, he did for daddy! I just can't wait until they can be in eachother's everyday lives. As far as an update on his condition, the doctors are using him as an example for a seminar they are giving and the name of the seminar is "Will He Walk?" The doctor looked at me and said the answer to the question is yes! He plans to make him braces when he is pulling up and walking on furniture. He is very close!

Shiri:

I hope everything gets cleared up quickly for you. Good luck!

Travis & Kim: Good luck this week at your interview

thanks! getting so excited!!!

3 days! YAY!

Thanks for letting me know about FrazelThomas... that is encouraging! He mailed it off last Tuesday... so at least we are getting closer.

Thanks for the update Trailmix! I appreciate all the work you've put into this!

My husband sent out the I-864 package on Friday April 10th, and it was delivered to NVC today.
