Hi VJ,

Forgive me if this has been answered already. Assuming all goes well with the interview, what happens next? How soon will I receive my visa and be able to move to the US? I'm interviewing in Montreal if that helps.

Thanks,

FF

You should receive your visa within the week. Some have had luck requesting a "next-day" pick-up in Montreal but it's not the norm. I interviewed on a Tuesday and had my visa by that Friday. (I was in Ontario.) Once you have your visa you have 6 months to apply for entry to the US. Once you enter the US and your visa is activated your passport will be stamped and that will serve as a temporary greencard allowing you to travel until your receive the actual card (I received mine a month after POE).

Good luck. :thumbs:
