Hey everyone,

I'm looking to book too but not until late May and best yet, would be late June....but seeing as how interviews only open up every now and then I don't want to sit back and wait....as I don't want to miss the boat....and then be heading to the US in 2013. I understand dates open up every now and then....and no one seems to know when and for how far in advance. Another wrench to add to my case is I work from 8 to 4, M-F and do not have access to a computer (as I teach) to watch and refresh as people on VJ speak of, so I'm at the consulate's mercy. I would certainly like to be part of a support group to search and find....post me a private message and I'll do what I can to help.

On another note, I did email the MTL consulate a few weeks ago about another matter and got a very quick and lengthy response from them....I think, perhaps, they are changing practice and becoming more informative and timely in their responses. That might be the route to go if you're in a situation where you need to know asap when the next batch of interviews will happen.

Fingers crossed it works out for all of us!

I have never used Twitter--but this sounds like a great time it could be used,lol Someone sees that it is available and then tweet it out!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Good luck to all of US!!

Just FYI, if you book an interview after your NOA2 expires Montreal automatically extends the validity of your petition. Many applicants have interviews after their NOA2 expires. The exception would be in the rare case someone sits around for a year before booking their interview. Basically as long as Montreal sees that you're taking actions to fulfill the visa process you're in the clear.

My Toronto medical exam review. Note: the office has moved and some procedures have changed since my exam.

My detailed review of K1 Montreal interview for August 11th 2011.

My SSN application tips.

Even if there are interviews available but you didn't take them for circumstances beyond your control? In my case, I needed to renew my passport and didn't want to chance that the 2 weeks they said it would take would actually be that long. I prefer to have the new passport in hand before I commit to an interview date. Also, I have a wedding I would like to attend in June if possible and would like my interview after that. My NOA2 expires May 29th I think.
