am wondering if Melyssa calld again to see if they got a interview date set for her now ?
PfcsBaby
How do I get added to this new colorful list?
liz_legend 'n Ol
all you do is bring yourself to my attention.. =)

a PM is the fastest..
or hopefully I read it in the forum.. (but that doesn't always work; like starting saturday I'll be away for a week and won't have internet access on the sandy shores of Alabama)

so, 18th to 27th, I'm gonna need PMs tongue.gif

PS, you're on the list now..
PfcsBaby
Ok great! Thanks a lot! Without timelines such as these on this site, I'd be at a complete loss with everything LOL.

Nope I haven't called again yet... I think I'll wait a little bit longer before calling again. I might email again in a couple of weeks... I doubt I will be scheduled until September since they schedule by month. I think I'll try the first week of September if not the last week of August.

Melyssa, try calling closer to the end of the week. Remember, I called and was given the August/Sept, then the 5-7 months the next week, and when I called again last week it was I got an interview!!!

Has anyone had an 8:15 appt? and did they get in and out fast?
Lance27
I had an 8.30am appointment and I was out of the building and in my car 9.50am

I hope you guys are right and I would love to have my interview in September. I guess I will try at the end of next week at the latest... I guess I am just nervous about calling them again so soon when I just called last week! (But then yes, I am nervous that if I don't call, they will give me the two days notice thing and I will miss my interivew blink.gif and I of course wouldn't want that to happen...)

Pcf, did you call? Maybe you could try this week instead of me since your timeline is pretty much exactly the same as mine...

Tinker, Congratulation on the interview date,
Melyssa you keep calling them, if they say they will mail you your date remind them that my appointment was on the 9th and I still haven't received my letterfrom them.
I had a 9 a.m. appointment but was there at 7:30, thanks to vj I was first at the cashiers window and got ticket C1 did have to wait about a half hour though because they were doing all the As first. I think the C1 was because I had pre-paid at the bank which I should not have done. I was out at 10:00 for now obvious reasons.
sapa_uscan
yaay!!! Received my visas in mail yesterday!!!

Did anyone get a "big yellow sealed - Do Not Open" envelope?" There was a note that said to take the sealed envelope and the passport to the POE.

Anyone?
liz_legend 'n Ol
congrats!!
Lance27
Yup... received mine y'day too, Visa was stamped Aug 10 Friday. The Big envelope is not to be opened and given to the CBP officer at preflight immigration at the airport or the CBP officer at the land border crossing.

August 31st!!! biggrin.gif He should be here by September 2nd. He's taking Greyhound yet again from Montréal to Kansas City. Third time's a charm, hehe.
Ron/Sharon
Congratulation Necrotia, it has been a ong time coming. Seems like he doesn't like flying too bad he could be there in a matter of hours but still he will get there and that is all that counts. I wish you both a very happy life together.

If he's anything like me, he doesn't want to take the plane because the plane is so expensive compared to Greyhound, even though Greyhound takes SOOO much longer. Almost all of my trips were done via Greyhound too. I am still reluctant to take the bus when I get my visa though so I am saving up for a flight, or hopefully somehow can get a ride over, even if just to the border. The border isn't really that far from where we live wink.gif
Ron/Sharon
Melyssa, have you called the consulate lately, you should you know. I am hoping that you get your date very soon, tomorrow will not be soon enough so call today.

Yeah flying can be expensive. We visited each other about 10 times but since all we had were week-ends, or like 3-4 days, we were taking the plane everytime to be there in 2 hours from CHicago to Montreal. When I moved it got different though....had too much stuff whistling.gif and he had this dream where he would knock on my door one day to steal me away devil.gif so he picked me up by car....16 hours wow wacko.gif

To everybody flying, taking the bus or driving soon, all have a safe travel and welcome to the US smile.gif

Wow, if he planned to leave sooner I could have given him a ride in exchange for filling a tank of gas for me. I dont have any luggage space though but I could have dropped him off at Council Bluffs IA, which would have been a shorter greyhound trip for him to Kansas city.

Oh I went for my medical yesterday wasnt to bad 3 hours in all ( but had to waite about 1 1/2 hours for the doc to arrive he was late )
they did X rays, blood test , checkd the vaccination booklet askd a million questions wich I answerd no, no no no ectr , lol ,
people where real friendly but had a lil fun with the x ray tech , lol
she seemd in a hurry ( but she was friendly and laughin ) so when she told me to go in the cabin to put the gown on , I wasnt even in there for a min just lowerd my purse on the seat and there she was , hello miss are you ready ? I was thinking hmm wow shes in a hurry I just got in here ,
so told her with a smile just a min plz, not even 20 sec later she was here again hello miss are you ready ? lol ,
i started to giggle to my self said hmmm lets have a lil fun , told her almost ready star_smile.gif
took me about 1-2 min to put the gown on , sat on the seat when she came back she was like hello mis am still waiting for you , lol , said sorry got trouble with the gown just a min plz devil.gif
stayed seated for another 2-3 min , ( so sat a total of about 5 min being ready )
she came back miss am still waiting for you , lol I came out smiled told her sorry I make you work today had trouble with the gown , LOL ,
then she told me to lift my arms over my head for X rays , I did but well as you all know they always place the arms how they want anyhow ,( she was short bout 4.5, am 5,5 ) lol so when she tryed to reach up to place my arms she had lil trouble,
I leand towards her smiled askd her will that help ? she laughed said you realy make me work for my money today huh , lol devil.gif
she got the x rays done all lookd fine ( in her eyes ) , will have to go get the resolts in about 2-3 days ,

Me: I'm a K1 visa applicant and I'd like to get a case update and see whether an interview has been scheduled

Montreal..silence....No maam, that takes 6 months (did she even look at the computer..I heard no keys clicking dammit)

Me: So no no interview date yet?

Montreal..silence....No ma'am............... [i]Don't MA'AM me missy[/i]

No, I didn't call yet... and unfortunately I didn't get to read these posts until now when it is much later than 2-4 p.m.; they just might have been the extra push I needed to call. I hope I get my date soon but I sure hope they don't give me two days' notice as one of our forms isn't quite ready yet sad.gif (we are just waiting on certain people to give the info we need, pretty much, and I guess they don't really understand it being a priority...) Now if it was it would be another story and we might be super excited to have two days' notice, lol

I am kind of hoping to Pcf will call this week...

Oh man, that would have been SO awesome, but he has stuff he wants to bring with him, plus he wanted to put in his two-week notice in at work... and speaking of his work...

Réjean called me tonight and said his boss is actually going to pay for a plane ticket for him to fly here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *still in shock*

Please let me know how your Greyhound trip goes if you do end up doing that. If it isn't too complicated, I may re-consider taking the bus...


I'm finding it hard to believe I am next in line on this waiting room thread... ohmy.gif can't wait!

I am glad that you got it Tinker even though it really isn't necessary at Montreal it is very nice to be able to have such good news and evidence to hold in your hands.

Melyssa, Keep calling it is not just because you want to know you have a date, you also want to confirm the letter has been sent to you. I'm the one who had the two day notice because of a phone call I made, my appointment was 8 days ago and I still have not received the letter everyon is so happy to get. All I will say is you are too close to the interview date to not be on their case at least once a week. I hope you get the good news very soon my hearts desire is having everyone getting through Montreal and off to their final destination yesterday.

Ron, I was wondering if you had ever gotten it. By the looks of the postmark and the date, they didn't send mine out till a week after the appt had been made!!

Is there no way your employer can speed things up with the RCMP?
