Hi Everyone,

Got my email as well, interesting that I was scheduled for the end of the month when everyone else around my approval date is the beginning of April...but then I am not complaining, just happy to finally have a date, now we can start planning the move for June!

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited to go to Montreal--I get to meet my baby nephew (sister lives there).

I'm just researching my travel options right now. Do they issue the visa the same day? I'm wondering if it's a smart idea to do the interview in the morning (interview scheduled at 8:00am) and depart for the airport at 5:00pm? Or should I depart the next day?

I flew out the next day...just incase!! I didn't want to be rushing in a panick to the airport on the off chance i was late getting out of the appointment ( which it turned out I was!!!) Just my 2 cents

I am sorry trailmix, i was not able to explain myself properly. My wife is the petitioner and has a US domicile, job, apartment etc so its not a question of reestablishing domicile. However i am the benificiary and am currently on a student visa in canada about to graduate in April. However i have completed the course requirements of the degree already.(20 may-convocation).

Anyways as u put it, i would take a letter from school that i am graduating in April end along with the official transcrpits. I was also wondering whether my student status in canada has any bearing on my case or the interview?

Hi gladiator,

No, it shouldn't have any bearing on your interview at all

Note for folks that would like to have their dates in the timeline:

If you would like to be added, just post your details in here (ie all relevant dates, saves someone else looking them up) - if you are comfortable editing the table, please feel free to add yourself
