That is correct as far as I can gather. They schedule interviews for the following month on the second week IE: March interview will be scheduled the second week of February. Doesn't give a lot of time to book and have the medical done, though.

Really, what I was saying above, is that it is generally more like 2 months in advance.

If you call on Monday - and you do get a date - it will probably be for March - not February :thumbs:

You can just look at the timeline in this thread to see when people finished at NVC and when they got their interview - plus there is a field that says days between completion at NVC and interview.

I know!! I called again tonight to talk to another operator and asked, "You are done scheduling for February?" as well as, "So now I am waiting to see if I get a March interview date?" And she said, "That is correct."

So I'm gearing back up for March now. I just want to know!!

Wow... so if it is the beginning of the month we should know soon? My two year anniversary is March 15, so does that mean we will get the IR-1 instead? Cuz the greencard takes a month to print... is that right?

Even if one has the interview before March 15, but you ACTIVATE on March 15 or after, you should get the 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

That is correct as far as I can gather. They schedule interviews for the following month on the second week IE: March interview will be scheduled the second week of February. Doesn't give a lot of time to book and have the medical done, though.

Really, what I was saying above, is that it is generally more like 2 months in advance.

If you call on Monday - and you do get a date - it will probably be for March - not February :thumbs:

I hope you don't mind, but to_hope is still waiting for an interview, so I moved her from the bottom list to the top one.

I was actually wondering about the medical - but it lasts 6 months doesn't it?

btw - I hope we are not hijacking this thread :)

I don't know much about the medical besides that the results have to stay sealed, we need to bring in vaccination records, exrays, 3 passprt size photos and the interview letter. I know we have only a few doctors we can choose from... that's really all I know. But if you heard it lasts that long, it probably does. Does anyone else know?

Nothing from me either. I called Fri and nothing, called Mon and they were closed for Martin Luther King day. I didn't call today. I think I will wait a bit. The more I call, the more depressed I get when I don't get a date. Ya know? If I see people here get March dates, I'll probably call. Otherwise, I will probably wait until the first Monday in Feb.

Trailmix, when you called on the 19th or 20th when you found out, was it the third Fri of the month or was it more random in checking?

Hi Shiri,

It was slightly more random.

I had called on the Monday (the 17th of the month - so third week of that month) - they had already told me 'nothing' the previous week. When I called on the Monday she told me to call back at the end of the week as they were not finished scheduling for Montreal.

So, of course, instead of waiting until the end of the week I called on the Thursday (20th) (might even have been the Wednesday (19th) haha).

Prior to getting this nice operator on the phone I had more than one person, I believe, telling me to call back the week of the 11th of January.

Congrats OBX, will update the timeline shortly!

Yay I received NOA2 Jan. 20!

Woo Hoo! :dance: It's about time! I am happy for you! :thumbs:

It was slightly more random.

I had called on the Monday (the 17th of the month - so third week of that month) - they had already told me 'nothing' the previous week. When I called on the Monday she told me to call back at the end of the week as they were not finished scheduling for Montreal.

So, of course, instead of waiting until the end of the week I called on the Thursday (20th) (might even have been the Wednesday (19th) haha).

Prior to getting this nice operator on the phone I had more than one person, I believe, telling me to call back the week of the 11th of January.

Ok, lol, you talked me into it. I will either try calling later today or at the end of the week. :innocent:

Not knowing your date yet sux, but hang in there.

Sly
