~~Moved to General immigration Discussion from IR1/CR1 P&P- the OP and his wife are waiting for the arrival of the GC.

Completely forgot to say Happy birthday Mini-B. I'm glad he had a good birthday weekend.

Saturday and Sunday I vended at a reptile expo. Sold 8 crested geckos and a bunch of food and supplies. It was our 3rd time vending. We did great. Now I have to wait until May to do another as I only have 2 geckos big enough to sell. While at the expo I was doing double duty. When I was in Canada I listed my dad's car on marketplace. The car lots would only offer my dad 6 k for his car. He only had it a year when he went in the hospital the the crooks charged him 20k for a 2015. Sadly my sister does not know what she's doing and my dad just didn't care. In his younger days he would not have been taken of advantage like that. Anyway, I managed to from Arkansas to sell his car while doing my expo. He was only out of pocket $300 to pay off the loan. Very impressed with my skills😁

I do not complain of the heat here, well I did when the a/c went out. But all and all I prefer summer. I do not like being cold. I was up in Canada before Christmas. I left Arkansas the day after TG and when I arrived in Chicago I was ready to come back home. While up in Canada it dropped to -40. I do not ever miss those days. I normally only visit in the summer. But my dad needed me so I went.

Thanks, I split your question off. Now hopefully others will come an offer help. DCF is faster, just not fast enough at times. November and December were filler with Holidays too. So all that adds to the delay. They are also very slow just replying to emails. Make sure you used the write words in the Subject line. It helps to get the attention of someone instead of the automailer.

~~Post and related replies split off to their own thread.~~

Montreal is extremely back logged. What Visa exactly are you going after? As this threads is 2 years old and things change I want to split your post off and place it in the right area. Also check the Canada forum https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/93-canada/ and these threads out. That forum is a bit slow lately but full of very helpful information for you. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/734707-cr1ir1-montreal-faq/ https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/804105-the-big-ir-1cr-1-dqd-part-v/page/67/#comment-11058565

Bumping this thread for newcomers. Hard to believe this drop so far down. That is a good thing for many on this thread though.

Oh man that is terrible. Thank God for meds.

Oh man that is terrible. How on earth did you finish decorating But really how did yo manage to break both?

I haven't bothered trying to get the microwaves fixed. I think we have gone through at least 3 since living here and that's about 18 years. Of course the one I brought with us when we moved lasted the longest. I know so many who won't listen. They all say the same thing. Well the reviews are all good. Of course they are everyone posts a few weeks to a few months after they get the appliance. I loved my French door until I found out it was literately killing me. Now I have a side by side it keeps temps but I'm not in love with it. Not as spacious and pretty. For your friend at least steer him away from LG and Samsung and keep the ice maker where it belongs-In the freezer section.

So glad we don't have an HOA. Sorry you're dealing with that TBone Also get someone out to fix the dryer. It's possible it's and easy fix. We just fixed ours. Some of these newer dryers just don't last. If you do buy a new one stay away from Samsung no matter how tempting they sound.

Oh man that sucks too. I keep saying I will go to the chiropractor. But here I am still saying it and not going.

That sounds about right

Oh yes and it just won't go away either Welcome to the thread My ear still hurts, how long is a busted eardrum supposed to hurt gees. My shoulder is sore too. I need to try out my new pillow but it hurts my ear so I can't yet. Hence the shoulder hurting.

Did yo mean to post this in here

Well the doctor said to get it checked because of the scarring from the hole. The worst part is it's not the ear that hears the dang CPAP machine from the Hillbilly.

I'll look up Earplanes. What a drag the pills and spray didn't help. That would be my luck too.

Looks like when I flew home on the 19th I managed to rupture my eardrum. Told no more flying unless I take a week of allergy pills and nasal spray prior to flying. This means to flying back to my Dad until I'm done the antibiotics and get a week worth of allergy pills and nasal spray in me. Hopefully my sister can manage a little longer. Needless to say my ear hurts, thankfully the Hillbilly made me go to the doctors. Sadly now I need to get my hearing checked in that ear thanks to the hole in it.

When some countries consulates close other countries take over those cases. Those are specific and limited to certain situations and locations.

The medical has to be in the same country the interview is taking place. They go by their list of approved doctors in their system for that country. They cannot accept a medical from a doctor who is not licensed to work in the interviewing country.
