I flew into Montreal April 4, Bruce drove from Maine and picked me up at the Airport. We went by the directions given on the La Tour Centreville Hotel and were lost for almost 3 hours. Beware...It says to take the 2-20..........it should read 720!!! The Hotel was fine.....but we almost lost the top of the truck because it was underground parking and the hotel clerk said our truck would fit fine.....He misunderstood the make of it. Bruce got out and surveyed the situation and said there was no way the truck would fit under there.. (if I had been driving I would have just driven on through:-)
The next morning we were at the Consulate by 7:45 am (my appointment was at 9:30)...........went through security without a hitch. Went to the 19th floor (thanks, I was prepared for the elevator opening from the back..lol) We stood in line, got number C3, got called in, Bruce went and paid the $100 while I gave the lady all the necessary paperwork. We sat down and got called in for the actual Interview and he asked us ONE question.............How did we meet?????.............that was it.....Painless!!! He took my 2 index fingerprints and said pending the results I could come back tomorrow at 2:30 and pick up my VISA!! (I knew I was fine there!) That was it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We were out of there before 9:30!!
The next day we went over to the Consulate but I was the only one allowed in. So I went up in the elevator to the 19th floor all by myself (I told Bruce that right then and there proved how much I loved him.........I'm terrified of elevators!!!! lol) I was out of there within 10 minutes with K1 VISA in hand...YAHOO!!!!
We drove back to Newfoundland and Labrador, spent time with family and drove back to the USA April 18 with the U-Haul and truck filled to the brim!! Not a problem at the border either...........All that silly worrying for nothing....thank God! But those of you who are still going through this.....I understand totally!!
We're getting married May 16 in Las Vegas, then we start the next stage........
AOS...........Oh No........More worrying .........LOL....(((((HUGS)))))
