=) I missed you guys too!

I've emailed MTL twice now with no response

hmmm this is wierd for them not to respond to mail now , how are we supose to know the status of our cases , specialy the once with timeline close to an interview date , Liz try to call them ( I would call them but am currently with my babe in Mass ) hope you hear something soon good luck Lona

Ya, I work 2-7 tonight but I think I'm going to have to sneak that phone call in..

hope they give you a date , good luck and have a great day at work

Fabulous news!!!!!

Since Montreal is refusing to answer phone calls.. and not answering the two emails I already sent, I'm going to send them an email for everyday I don't get a response..

Third email already waiting for them tomorrow! =)

I remain very polite and nice in the emails though..

I'd do it! That's just crap not bothering to answer either.

That's sometimes what one has to do. When they did that to me I just kept resending the same e-mail, eventually they replied Good luck

I need two couple's VJ names..

Steve & Robin (K1)
Irene & Michael (K3)

otherwise I can't check up on your status myself =(

The spreadsheet wants your name!! It craves it!

oh and question..
for the I-134, what is Oliver supposed to check for Item 11..

I (INTEND)/(DO NOT INTEND) TO MAKE SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SUPPORT OF PERSONS (lizelle lobo)

If you check Intend, indicate the exact nature blah blah blah

Montreal's response:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

You are still on the waiting list –as soon as we are able to we will send the appointment letter. You must wait.


Thanks,

Operator 2

Morning
finaly at least you got a response ,but hope they will be able to give you a date soon ,
as to your question about the I 134 , I used the example form they posted here ,
Q 11 ; yes
N/A ( K1 visa process for permanent residence )
hope that helps

I think I'm probably Steve and Robin, unless there's another Robin here married to another Steve! We're not K1, though, we're DCF. I probably put K1 at the beginning, then thought we were K3 for a while, then didn't realize that CR-1 was different from DCF....it's been a long, strange trip

We emailed Montreal last Thursday and heard from them Friday with the response of "2-3 months." That didn't sit well with me because we went on the waiting list June 14th and I'd seen people who I was sure went on the waiting list after us getting dates in late October. So I had our lawyer call them directly and sure enough...OCTOBER 5!!!

So Liz, I would email them again next week and check, because if you don't have a date now, you should have one in no time. I'm almost sure that we had a date last week and the person answering the email just didn't know what was going on. October 5 is way less than 2 months from now (no complaints here, of course!).

Off to update my timeline

THanks so much! So glad you guys got a date too!

I'm gonna email them again next week.. I just really had to laugh at the last line of their response "you must wait"..

You have to keep bugging them or we will bug you

Starr Congratulations on getting the date, it sure isn't all that far away. I'm glad that your laawyer did a follow-up call to them, it worked out well.

Star congrats on getting a Interview date

am glad to hear MTL is still alive so I just wrote them another e mail ( yes I stayed polite,LOL )
hope they will respond now thats the 3rd e mail now without response < Plz MTL wake up >

I emailed yesterday, here's their response:

Good Morning!

I was jut wondering if we had made it onto an interview list yet? If so, could you advise the date? If not, can you advise when we should hear / get a letter, etc?

Thanks very much!
Mary

congratulations on your inteview Starr

I think you're looking for me - Irene & Michael. Was is it that you're looking for exactly??

Thanks
Irene

Ya, I actually *found* you yesterday..
was just looking for you VJ name so I could put it on the VJ MTL spreadsheet

Who knows but maybe calling the lawyer assisted in your case... we finally got our date for Oct 17 and our packet was returned April 27th. So you are almost 2 months behind us, yet your interview is two weeks before ours. But, I am glad for you especially since you are already married and should be able to be together already!

finaly got a reply from MTL

Dear U.S.Consulate of Montreal ,
I would like to know if you could confirm the delivery of my package 3 wich was send to you on july 24 , could you please tell me if the documents are in correct order and the date I was enterd into your system? and how long it will take from date of entering the system to interview date ,

my next question is on DS 156 , on question have you ever been issued a visa ,
I clickd on B2 tourist/ visitor option ,now to my understanding the B2 is differant then the
I 94W tourist waver ,
I would like to inform you the only visa I ever had was the tourist waver ,
will I have to print out a new DS 156 or can that be corrected at the interview ?

Also my NOA 2 will expire in october I heard it will be automaticialy extanded at the interview,
, is this information correct ?

your reply is deaply apreciated i thank you in advance Ilona D

hiya

i havent been much of a poster on this website, but i thank you all for your help and advices.. i wanted to let you guys know that i got my interview date ( received the letter last week) packet was sent on april 17, and interview date is sept 26 (for i-129F) so keep faith! we will all get there eventually

as for emails; we did send them a couple of emails but never got answers ( like everyone else) but i wanted to let you know that in one of those emails i mention my new address (wich is my sister's address) and they sent the letter directly to that address ( not mail forwarded) so they may not answer, but they still read them.

got a question! how long is the medical report and police certificate valid? i got things all done in march-april, not knowing it would take that long; will it still be good for the interview?


thanks!


Julie and Dustin
Qc and NC

Hello,

It is not often i get to answer a question on here... normally i'm doing the asking

I can tell you that both the medical and police certificate are good for one year. I emailed Montreal the same question, and that is what they confirmed.

Wooohooo!!!! See you there!!! I'll be the one looking like a deranged woman, hair standing, chuckly shoes, bag under eyes....

lmao dont forget your rubberboots and leatherhosen with suspenders oh and the chewing tabaco

CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU YEAHHHHHHHHH
( 2 more off the waiting list MTL plz continue like that and we all have an interview for xmas )

Feeling it today.. getting ansy .
it's like a choking sensation

I WANT AN INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!

I need one...

<sad>

I can interview you if you'd like Liz.....
Liz Legend, please tell us, you fans wants to know: what is your opinion on the dress code for MTL employees????
Chillax mah gurl, it WILL come.....
Luvyah, L.

I think MTL employees need higher hem lines for sure! I think you guys should show off those cankles, not cover 'em up!!

Thanks Len.. that made me smile

That's what I'm here for my friend - making your day smiley

Hey people!!! Cantwait2gethome got her DCF interview for October!!!! I thought I would add the news here since not all of you check the DCF threads!!!
Congrats!!!!

p.s. LIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - EMail them over'n'over'n'over.....

hmmm.. if someone else gets a date from the K visa list, I'll email them..

I was gonna email them again on the 17th .. but if there's more good news....

Hey Liz, boy do I feel your pain....I keep watching the timeline, and you're right on our heels....looking like November for us, sigh.....it's downright PAINFUL to see our names TWO LINES above the last scheduled interviews!!

I know.. and I feel like it's too soon to bug them about it again cuz no one else has sent an email =(

Liz, you can start by sending off an email

Liz, you can start by sending off an email
Liz, you can start by picking up the phone and giving MTL a friendly call

( LOL can ya feel the presure ? :P )

Congrats!
They both are valid for one year from the issue date.

Why do you all want MTL to yell at me? You get some kind of sick pleasure from it??

Hey Liz, you should get your fiance to call on your behalf so he knows what hell you get put through each time you call!

Thinking here, if they're yelling at you and talking about what a pain in the arse you are, they won't notice me too much and let me slip through.....yeah that's it

As much as I would love to, I think after his phone call to the IRS tonight (for the tax transcripts) if I asked him to call Montreal tomorrow, he might call off the engagement...

Was just reading a post from cantwaittogethome, she filed DCF in June and just received word from Montreal that her interview is October 5th.

That seems zippy don't you think? Is this any indication that Montreal is getting faster or just that from time to time someone flukes out and gets a quick interview?

With my luck I'll be taking Mom and Dad to Montreal next June I'm not saying that that's a bad thing necessarily since I've requested the record of Mom's entry and exits to the US under the Freedom of Information Act as well as a few other documents dating back to 1963. In the meantime I'm slowly, inexorably going mad, like everyone else in this forum.

maybe they wont yell at ya if ya pretand to have the wrong phone number and try to order a poutin , if they say wrong phone number then say oh sorry but while i have you on the phone can ya tell me my satus ? lol

if you have all the documents needed I wouldnt worry about it , you and your family are just goin for a visit right ? things should be fine, and Montreal is a great place to see specialy in june and summer lots of events there ( if you never been there ) hope you guys have a great time

Aren't they yellin at EVERYBODY? The first couple times I emailed, I did receive semi-polite emails....but the last one was "we already told you you're on 4-6 month list". In other words, leave us the F alone!!

Can't call, can't write.....just wait, and wait, and wait......and then ask LIZ!

Ok, I vote that ChandandChrissy, Martin and Alissa, ComminToBoston, VnS, Doug n Amanda, & Charles n Sue call...

LOL, now you know how I feel (sort of) when everyone wanted me to call and I was reluctant to. Haha!

I think I should have a 'call Montreal' consulting business.

It wouldn't bother me if they yelled at me about someone elses application
