Interview in Montreal

[GVMack 9]

Hi there,

I was wondering, since we file separate I-130 for myself and daughter will our interview dates be on the same day and time?

Do they interview us separately?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

You're good!

I had exactly the same situation. NVC was sending me the documents and accepting things on completely different dates. They were also bouncing perfectly good documents for my step-daughter.

Ask the first line support person at NVC to positively guarantee that the interview date will be the same. When they refuse, ask for a supervisor. Then you'll get the real scoop, that because the CR-2/IR-2 is based on the CR-1/IR-1 that they have to be tied together.

Be warned - at interview they were concerned with:

1) Custody of the child - make sure you have your ducks in a row here. My wife had a notarized translation of her Chinese divorce agreement showing sole custody.

2) I-864 stuff. They're really making sure that you can support your new family.

3) We had lots of questions because I told them we couldn't come up with the Chinese police certificate. My wife became a Canadian citizen at which point the Chinese govt. will refuse to provide this. (They don't care that you were Chinese, they care what you are right now)

Good luck - we were there last September for our interview. Sit as close to the elevator as possible because that will get you in quicker!

Thank you very much for the info.

I totally understand about the Asian Gov not wanting to provide documents.

I had to called UN last Tuesday because I was born in the Thailand Refugee camp and needed a birth certificate.

I too became a Canadian Citizen at a very young age, but was told by NVC that I could not use that.
