FYI on a couple things, then a question.
Hubby's interview was this past Friday, and he got the visa in the mail today - only 3 business days. He lives in Toronto.
Yesterday, I also received a second reply from an assistant to Mary Marshall (I had written one letter, then another, then one saying hey thanks for getting on it finally) This letter seemed to be a reply to my thank you letter. As in a previous consulate reply, this one quibbled with my statement which I have repeated in all my letters that they clearly had "stopped" scheduling interviews for CRs/IRs, .... although more recently started rescheduling of course and got all of us caught up as of last month anyway - that's what I thanked them for. The keep saying they never "stopped" or "stalled" scheduling our pile, the scheduling is just complicated - of course so complicated they can't explain it exactly.
Anyway the key thing I wanted to share is that this letter seemed to primarily point to their having "cleared their backlog of those who were documentarily qualified" (I interpret that to mean case complete at NVC) and that they are now notifiying those eligible of their interviews "at least 2 months in advance". They didn't specifically say "and we are committed to maintining this response time" but it certainly feels as though at this moment they would like to continue to be able to say this. Anyway I hope this holds for the rest of you who are getting your cases complete right about now. And I hope the case complete time wom't become a problem.
Now, to my question. Can anyone recall from any past conversations here or provide a link to one, on, after hubby passes through the border:
1. what he needs to do if anything and how long it takes to get the green card which I guess is a separate piece that allows him to work? Or does he get that at the border.
2. what he needs to do to follow up or reapply for that darned SSN # which of course he already did on the DS 230 I guess it was... I've heard that can sometimes not be reliable and its worth it apply again or contact SSA or something -- again, when and how?
Thanks in advance and congratulations to all those who saw progress, big or small, on their case over the past month or two. I really think that's the most critical thing customers of the immigration process want to see.

the canceled ir1/cr1 visa is his proof of eligibility to work for 1 year, so no worry on that question. it seems like he might as well go to the SSA office as soon as he gets here just to make sure that he's in the system and if he's not they can put him in.
Thanks for that info C&C, very enlightening!!
There have been a couple of threads lately on how long it's taking to get the green card, like 4-5 weeks I think. As Thermophile mentioned though, you have the visa, so no problem there.
Apparently when you activate your visa at the POE you are added in to a system that the people at the SSA office can see and can then issue you the SSN. I would definately go to the office, the whole ticking it off on the form and automatically receiving it thing seems to fail more times than not.

Regarding the SSN thing, it takes around 10 to 14 BUSINESS days before one MIGHT be in the SSN system, so most of the time it is useless going to the office prior to that. If after that timeframe, it is best to download the form from ssa.gov, have it all filled out, then make ur way to the office and check on it. if ur in the system, sweet, if not, just hand them the already filled out form, and ur golden! In my case, 1 week after I handed in the new form, I had my SSN card.
Thanks C&C for that info! I think it's a good idea to send the Montreal Consulate a letter of thanks after the interview, thanks for bringing it up!

Hey Ladyjane,
You might know the answer to this! So case gets complete at NVC and then it gets sent to some department that does the scheduling for the interview (so the supervisor at NVC told me).
What was your experience, did it get there quite quickly, can the NVC operator tell you when the file is actually where it should be for scheduling?
OOOOOOHHHHH, I didn't know there was another department for scheduling. I imagined the NVC as being something like a dry cleaners, where each of our files floated above the heads of people and they'd grab one at random.
I'll call and ask.

I hope this means that Montreal is back on the ball and my husband will be seeing lots of fellow VJers. Unfortunately, I'll be traveling to CA for a conference on the 18th and won't be able to join him. Although I'm thinking...well, my flight to CA doesn't leave until 3:30 and if the interview is at 9am...

Let's see, the distance from Montreal to Romulus is 581 miles. Check in one hour before departure so you need to be there by 2:30 and the consulate should be finished with DH's case by noon so...you'll just be able to make if you drive @ 232 mph.
Choose your poison (all are modified from stock, BTW):
I'm a Ford gal, so I'll choose the GT. I really doubt my '96 station wagon can go 232 mph!
Congrats LadyJane!!!

This should solve the problem nicely and, as an added bonus, you won't have to worry about tailgaters.
Wowness!
Congrats Ladyjane on your interview date AND your new GT
Wow it's only 71 days between your completion at NVC and interview, go Montreal!

...not to mention the space-worthy shuttle engines. I'm debating whether I should put them on the front of the car (to melt away any T.O traffic on the 401) or in the back for a super-zoom effect.

So happy!!!

Weeeeee, happy news, this is great!!
I feared that there would be a slowing down of the process in the new year but it looks like they're really trying to clear the backlog. CONGRATS!!!!! I can't emphasize this enough people, call often. 200 times a day is not too much.

Actually they're not from the space shuttle, they're from the Saturn V, since I wasn't sure if the newer engines would provide enough thrust (only a lousy 14.7MN).
You can never have enough thrust (*sounding suspiciously like a porno director* ).
does this now mean we can call Montreal. I've gotten no-where emaiing them.
i checked..... nada... zip.. nothing...

Congrats S&J!
IR5-I imagine that there's a lost SNL skit with Christopher Walken and Will Farrell that is saying "More Thrust, I need more thrust" (instead of the "more cowbell")
Just a note, if anyone has an interview date they don't particularly want to share, for whatever reason, no problemo, if you let me know that you got an interview we can just note that you have and not put the date up here
Congrats S&J on your interview date !

IR5-I imagine that there's a lost SNL skit with Christopher Walken and Will Farrell that is saying "More Thrust, I need more thrust" (instead of the "more cowbell")
My favourite SNL sketch with Chritopher Walken is with him (as Mr. Linder) and Tim Meadows as the census taker. "My Linder are you a citizen of the United States?"
"I have dual citizenship with the United States and Florida."
"Florida is part of the United States."
"Don't push your politics on me pal."
BTW, I was actually playing Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult when I read your post.
no new interviews?

Here's hoping the schedule both of ours this week
Thanks for the congratulations.
Just wanted to add that today the automated message changed and now states that our file has been sent to the consulate in Montreal (Yes, I kept calling, I wanted to know if it would change). So happy.

any luck on anyone else
I called today and she told me to call back on January 11th haha
NVC operator told me to only call in the third week of each month to check the interview schedule. She said the interview is always scheduled in the second week of each month. For Jan, the interviews have been scheduled already. Maybe they just don't want us to call everyday.....
