Misty's Interview Review in Montreal

[trailmix 77]

Well first of all, congratulations!! Glad it went well, knew it would!

It is strange about the two to three week thing, I noticed that in Mary's review as well:

He told us Trev would have the visa in 2-3 weeks.

Mary

Can only hope that they aren't adding a new layer to the visa process - you would think they couldn't but, hey, they are creative.

None-the-less, it's done, you will get your visa yahoo!!

Then again I was just reading Mary's post and it's in the mail. Wonder if you guys had the same guy for the interview and he is saying 2-3 weeks and he means 2-3 days (maybe he's new and untarnished - hence the smile!)

Congratulations Misty! Great review and I hope the visa is in your hands long before two weeks. My husband had to wait a week but that was due to the interview being on a Friday and the post with his visa in it not going out until Tuesday of the next week. Keep us updated!

Like you have had 2 husbands, and were arrested for selling drugs".

Get caught selling drugs and I guarantee that you'll end up with at least one husband.

I'm greatly relieved that you made it, congratulations. I just can't help but wonder if there was something that piqued the interviewer's interest. It might prove to be useful (edifying?) to the rest of us. Those questions he asked when you were about to leave are a bit disturbing but you made it through the process, that's all that matters. Doncha just hate it when they smile, frequently it's just before they stick it to ya. That you kept your cool under the pressure is laudable. Grrrl power indeed.

If I find anything out, you know I'll share it. And thanks for the congrats.

It wasn't so much his questions that puzzled me, they are the same kind of questions that others get... it was the disclaimer he kept adding when talking about approving my visa "... if nothing comes up, we'll send it to you in 2-3 weeks". I don't know, maybe he was trying to be funny, like I said, he was smiling the whole time, but not in a malicious sort of way, more of in jovial type of way haha. I am pretty sure that if they had any suspicions about something, or needed more proof about something, they would have brought it up at the interview. Right? I think I'm just tired... and when I'm tired, I tend to over think things.

I did find one other person who had an interview recently, who was told they would get their visa in 2-3 weeks, so maybe it's just the usual inconsistency that I should expect from Montreal. Kinda like the whole timeline to interview thing... one day they tell you it's a 6 month wait, the next day someone else says 4 months. I don't think they realize how literally we take what they tell us, and how much we scrutinize every word haha. Well, at least that is what I do. I'll feel a lot better once I have visa in hand, that is for sure.

Well, I told him that we were planning on getting married right around Thanksgiving, and that's when he said, that's cutting it close, but it should go out on Tuesday or Wednesday since today (Monday) is a holiday. I think they just don't realize how stressful the whole thing is to us. Your foreseeable future is hanging on what he's saying. From what I gather, the interviewing officer can't straight out say you're approved. I think they just do one more quick fingerprint check before printing and issuing the visa, and that can take a day or so to process.

Ah, that makes total sense now. I had no idea they would do a follow up fingerprint check, but if they do, that totally makes sense. I guess that was why he seemed hesitant to just say "YOUR APPROVED!!!" haha.

ok, I can breathe a little better now.

Thanks Jeremy or Amanda

Well, it's always me, Jeremy, that posts on here. So, were you the one with blonde hair or brunette? Kristy and I were sitting in the first row right by the LED sign with the mubers being called.

[MandE 0]

I was the brunette... in the blue puffy jacket. There was another brunette girl there, darker skin tone. You may not have seen me, I was the first to interview and leave. I did see some people sitting in front of the LED, but they were a family with 2 or 3 kids, haha.

Ahh, we waited forever. We decided we wouldn't show up super early, as we were still worn out from the drive in the morning. We ended up sitting next to the couple you were talking about. They were waiting a long time, too.

oh really?? that's too bad. They came in the same time as me. I thought they would have been quick to leave.

I couldn't sleep, was wide awake at 5am that morning, decided I would hit the pavement and get there early.
