Have an update! We emailed Montreal yesterday and the lady who conducted our interview called this morning and said she made a mistake and she's sorry, and she needs us to scan and email the 4 pages DS230 to her.She assured my hubby that he is approved and nothing is wrong with his paperwork. So we did that and just 1hr ago she emailed back, said thank you for doing this your visa has been printed out and its going in the mail tommorow!! yay ! :star::blush: Now just have to get through POE!

Thankyou vj family!

Yay! kicking.gif That's fantastic! Such a quick response too, wow!

I hope my visa has been printed too and will be out in the mail tomorrow :)

Hi, all, so my interview has been moved up to this Monday :) I'm just wanting to make sure that even though my interview is scheduled for 1:45pm, I should be there early in the morning because it's first come first serve, correct?

Grats on getting a closer date! kicking.gif Oh wow, the afternoon? That's weird, I've only ever seen am appointment times. I would think that it's still first come, first serve. Not sure though if the guard will let you in at 7:30am with a 1:45pm appointment time. You can always try and if the guard says no, well, go sleep for a few more hours :P

I wonder if this whole interview in the afternoon business is their attempt at trying to catch up since they werent scheduling interviews for so long.

Maybe to try and catch up on their backlog since they were scheduling way to far ahead.

It is first come first serve usually but they werent scheduling in the afternoon before so I'm not sure.

I'd say show up in the morning, the worst that can happen is that they will tell you to come back later.

Going to sleep isn't really an option, since I'm driving in that morning from Ottawa. :(
