Hi everyone!

I have a question I'm hoping you guys can answer so I can gauge roughly how long it'll take to my interview.

I received my online NOA 2 today after 243 FREAKIN days. It'll be prolly another week before I receive the hard copy. Now, in the K1 timeline guide it says from NOA 2 to interview COULD take up to four months. In your experiences, is that right?

I'm a June filer. Could it be likely I get my interview in JUNE???

I just need to gauge everything so I'm more prepared.

And should I bother getting my criminal record search done now or just wait till I hear from the embassy? Oh yeah, I had the search done a few months after filing hoping to be prepared. It has a six month expiry date. Freakin wasted my $60. Bitter? Oh, no way.

well, you are lucky that youre using the vancouver consulate, as the montreal one takes much longer to schedule interviews...with the CSC, it takes a bit of time for the approved petition to reach the nvc (could be a few weeks), then it will zip through nvc, and be sent on its merry way to vancouver...i dont know much about that consulate, but im pretty sure they are usually pretty quick...if you have all of the documents ready, and all goes well, id say you should have an interview in about 2-3 months from now...thats just my guess though, hope that helps...id do some more research on your consulate though, to be sure

yes, get the police certificates and financial documents ready now...you will be happy you did so, trust me

Oh StP!!! Sooo happy for you!! So much for you waiting to be my guide around London!!

Lemme know the med date and I will update the spreadsheet accordingly

The thought *had* crossed my mind... but I figured I would rather not take the chance... we must get it back at some point surely?

You don't ever get the contents of the envelope back. It goes into your "permenant record" at (if I remember correctly) USCIS.

Not sure if I should congrat anyone for getting shots or having to send money to police, but hey at least you're moving forward, so congrats for that!

Ok - so if I become a USC they still keep a pile of ticket stubs, photos and boarding passes!? With all the immigrants how can they afford to store all of the info - I know how big our packet was!!!

Some good news from Sweden

I got my interview yesterday at Stockholm consulate. All went fast, easy, very nice people

They promised me that I will get my visa by post, tomorrow February 1st Friday the 1st February, WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO

I bought my tickets for February the 9th

why will your interview be an anticlimax???

[BabyBlueSusie 1]

i call DOS everyday and nothing nothing NOTHING!!!!!

its driving me nuts...how long does it take to look at a calendar and schedule a friggin interview?!

i wanna book my flight already, i have no patience whatsoever!

[Jeraly 4]

It's going to be an anticlimax because I will (hopefully) get my visa and then I have to wait age before I move - the time is going to go by soooooo slowly!! It'll be good because I will have things to sort out but at the same time I am just going to be itching to get on with things

i totally get it, im dying here with this wait...this is worse than waiting for my NOA2, because with that at least i didnt expect an answer anytime soon....this is supposed to be the fast part!! im dying here!!!!!!!

[Jeraly 4]

Yeah - I am just telling myself that it will give me a chance to tie up loose ends, sell my things I don't need, pack things up... It will be great to have that luxury but at the same time part of me just wants to get on with it now - I am fed up of hanging around. Mum keeps saying I could go earlier but I want to be here for her 50th

I don't know this for a fact, so I could be wrong, but I believe that most interviewees do not climax at their interview. So you should be okay, I doubt it would be a reason for denial. Check with your consulate anyway.
