    Adding my experience for a data point. The interview was on Jan. 17, 2025, in Montreal. The first agent took my civil documents and verified everything. Remember to bring photocopies with you in addition to the originals - I didn't realize until a couple of days ago and rushed to get copies done. The second agent took my fingerprints shortly after. Easy. The third stop was the interview with a very kind officer who spoke with me for about 10 minutes. They took my oath, then asked me questions about my previous research, verified if I'd travelled to the U.S. before, why I was looking to move now, and promptly said I was approved. I was done in just over 2.5 hours. Most of it was spent waiting. Best of luck, everyone, and thanks for the wealth of information on this forum. I will update once I cross the POE.

    I was ensuring I paid all necessary fees and saw something about a biometrics appointment fee. Is this something we are supposed to do? I don't recall anything about a biometrics appointment.

    My EB1-A interview is next week in Montreal and I'm getting a folder of printed documents. Aside from the required civil documents listed on their website, what else would be advantageous to bring? An updated resume? University degrees/transcripts? Copies of the reference letters? Do I need additional evidence or is that not necessary considering I'm past the petition stage? I don't have a job offer yet as I'm EB-1, so I want to provide anything that can help without a hard offer in hand.

    Odd. I was part of the November batch. Got one NVC email, and two (duplicate) emails from Montreal.
  13. mgsctravels
    What is this email everyone is speaking of?
  14. mgsctravels
    Were you able to see whether it was addressed Dear Lastname Firstname or vice versa? Curious how it showed for others..
  15. mgsctravels
    May I ask how your name was displayed after "Dear"? Maybe it just goes to the primary applicant only...
  16. mgsctravels
    Random question - in this email - Did the email say "Dear Last Name First Name" backwards? I got a different email from the same address but wasn't sure if it's a scam...

    Did anyone else get this email from an email address? Interview is in January. I was wondering- was your name also listed as Last name then First name in the email with a space before the comma? The name is formatted funnily and wondering if it's spam... or if it's that way for everyone. It came from a funny iContact email address: donotreply+visa-info.com@icontactmail3.com Thanks, everyone!

    This is an interesting one. For my interview, it states I should bring an original divorce document. My original document is a digitally signed PDF from Ontario courts. Do you think a printout will suffice as the original? It doesn't have an ink signature, just the Adobe "digitally signed" stamp and the name of the court clerk. Or do I need to apply for a hard copy with an ink signature?

    I got my IL from NVC first, then another email from Montreal days later when they also changed the status on CEAC.

    I think this has been asked before in different ways, but wanted to know your thoughts. My interview is on Jan. 17. If I have a cruise planned out of Miami at the beginning of February, should I expect to have my passport back so long as everything goes as planned? Is it ok to cross the border with the visa to activate the GC while flying down to Miami to go on a cruise? I'm theoretically entering the country to leave in a couple of days on a cruise ship, to reenter the country at a cruise port a week later. I think they use facial recognition there. Can I enter without activating the GC, or do I need to activate it right away? Wondering your thoughts based on previous experience.

    I wonder why you got it and I didn't. I wonder if I should ask if I need to fill it out. Does it explicitly say it's the DS-5535?
