Thank you!

Good luck MsZ and FrazellThomas on your interviews this week. Safe travels to Montreal.

Kerri - any news on the medical yet? Good luck.

Thanks much. My husband is going tomorrow night for a bright and early start. We're both hoping he doesn't have to return in the afternoon to p/u his visa since he's planning on coming down to NY right after.

Part of this is almost unbelievable. Can the interview really be Thursday??!!! Wow!

Good luck, Kerri! You and my husband will be there about the same time.

I have noticed some filers report picking up their visa later the same day and others having it sent through Canada Post (expresspost). Anyone know what determines which way they do it?

Not at Montreal really. I haven't heard of one person in recent history where they have offered to let the person pick the visa up on the same day. Maybe you saw this in relation to Vancouver interviews?

What determines whether you can pick it up or not - well that is completely up to the CO doing the interview. When my Husband had his interview, the CO said that if he was still going to be in Montreal the next day, he could come by and pick it up (he wasn't going to be).

So, no way to tell - if you would like to pick it up it doesn't hurt to ask the CO at the interview.

Oops, I looked back and I was thinking of adibiase - they picked up the following day. By the time I get to Montreal I will be more than happy to wait for my Expresspost delivery!! Fingers crossed that I can get posted on your timeline by March. Thanks for all the work you do to keep us all updated

I requested to pick it up on Friday, as I wanted to drive back to Michigan with my wife on Sunday. I did not want her to take Monday off just to wait for the VISA in the mail.

The interviewer was a very nice man, and had no issue with that. I think if you ask to pick it up the following day, you really should not have an issue.

Hope this helps!

It looks like our interview will probably be in February, so I am hoping it is in the first week or the third or fourth week. My sister is getting married on Valentines and I am hoping my hubby and I can attend. I talked to him tonight and if everything goes smoothly, he will be driving out to visit us for Christmas. We live 2000 miles away, so if he leaves on Saturday then we should see him Monday or Tuesday. I was getting really bummed cuz I didn't know if it was going to work out and with the interview not being scheduled for January... let's just say this piece of news from him about visiting was absolutely wonderful and timely! What are you doing for Christmas? Will you be spending it together or apart?

Yes, they requested and they had a friendly CO (or one that wasn't busy )

Regardless, if you get a really nice interviewer, they might do it anyway.

I'm so glad to hear that you will spend time with your husband for Christmas! My husband only live about 6-hours-driving-distance from where I am, so we see each other almost every-other weekend (fri-sun). I can't imagine being so far apart! You are so strong.

See http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=167660 to see where the person picked up their visa the same day in Montreal.

Well, my husband hasn't called yet but he's probably somewhere in the interview process. Talked to him this morning and he was only a little nervous. He had forgotten to buy the envelope so he neede to get his medical results from the doc and then get an envelope. Luckily everything is nearby.

I'm panicking because we may run into tax issues if his house doesn't sell before he activates the visa. I hope nobody forces him to activate it before he's ready. He has 6 months to activate, right?

[MsZ 6]

He answered that he lives in Canada, not the US in that thread.

" am reside in Canada not US, but i am also surprised when they offer me same day visa "

Ah, didn't see that, good for him!

[MsZ 6]

Turns out, they're giving my husband his Visa after 3 PM today, too! He passed!

I like this "same day Visa service" Montreal's got going.

Added Travis&Kim I'm just thinking, for the new year this table needs to be revamped, some of the information isn't really all that helpful and with online payments now accepted it changes the process a bit. Any suggestions as to what new information might be helpful to track?

Turns out, they're giving my husband his Visa after 3 PM today, too! He passed!
