Hi. My fiancé just got her interview set at the Montreal consulate on may 2. Assuming the interview goes well and she is approved. How long does she have wait before she can cross the border with her newly acquired visa?

She'll probably have to wait a few days for the consulate to send her passport and visa back to her, then she's good to go!! Your 90 clock starts when she arrives at the POE in the US.

Tell your fiance 'bonne chance mes amis!!'

Here is a very long thread on that topic with a poll: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/302129-waiting-for-our-passports-from-montreal/page__st__660

Usually a week or two, assuming your case was complete at time of the interview and it does not go through advanced processing. Once she has her visa, she can activate any time but once she does, she can't leave the U.S. until she has received her Green Card (or Advance Parole).

Could be a few days to a week or so...........If you were born or stayed in a country that is not on good terms with the USA....It may take much longer
