CR1 MTL Waiting to Interview

IR5FORMUMSIE · October 15, 2007

All these interviews are certainly giving me hope. Mom and Pop's case was completed in late July so I'm overjoyed. It really won't be long now. The only thing that would be better would be to hear that all those April. May and June filers got their interview dates too and are too busy preparing their materials to respond.

CONGRATS GLADY and C&C!!!!!! Give'em Hell in La Belle Province!!!!

Misty1979 · October 15, 2007

Congrats Glady!

see!! It's that fairy dust!!!

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Friggin Cow and The ENTIRE Herd of MOO.
I hope you stick around, because if I don't get a date this month, I need all the addresses you sent letters to. Your letter worked, mine were ignored.

Can you do me a big favor and call the automated line? Tell me if it says, "Sent to consulate sometime," or if it still says "case completed?"

Just called the line and it says the same that it always has... case complete data and if it's been more than 8 weeks past that and you have received nothing you press 0 to get to the operator. I seem to recall from a post I read quite a while ago that it takes a while for them to update the autotelephone system - you have to call and talk to them. Cmon..... do it, you might be surprised!

Oh and by the way, one thing we have i common with Glady is simultaneous receipt and submissionor m of 230 and I864 forms. I'm not sure if we have a slightly different process for somereason? also, our case # is a MTL 2006 case number, in the 600's ....

That's what I was thinking Liz!!

Did you apply in 2006 C&C?

the fairy dust was obviously the trick!!!

Yes, we received our instructions to file the last paperwork about this in 2006 -- I forget which forms it was we received then, but it's when we got the domicile checklist... we didn't realize I'd have to repatriate to US to show domicile and that we'd have to be separated.... that threw us for a bit loop and we took about 9 months to get used to that idea and prepared our career and home affairs for the transition.

Oh I didn't know that! So you were living in Canada, but when you received your I-864 (that's the affidavit of support where you have to give your supporting documentation re domicile) you moved back to the U.S.?

Did they say you had to to prove domicile (ie: they wouldn't accept your proof) or did you decide to do it to just cut through all the 'stuff' and show clear domicile?

We both live in Canada and used bank account in U.S. etc etc to prove domicile so I'm just curious. I think it's terrible you had to move back and leave your Husband in Canada!!

Wow! It looks like the folks at the Montreal consulate finally got off their lazy behinds and got some work done! Perhaps it was all of the pressure from irate VJers that forced them to do the jobs for which they are paid.

I am very pleased to report that we've also been scheduled for an interview: November 16th! :dance:

Perhaps the snarky operator I spoke with in September who said, "Call back next month -- maybe we'll surprise you" wasn't just being a jerk after all.
