Our interview was scheduled for Feb. 27 (we moved it back a month so he had a bit more time to prepare), but Brian got an email today saying it was successfully rescheduled for Feb 28th. Obviously this is fine because it's only a day apart, but should we be concerned? I definitely don't want this to happen again considering I'm buying a plane ticket this weekend.

The Montreal embassy? I thought they only took emails

Just another person trying to be helpful when they are not, as well know MTL is extremely difficult to get a hold of. One can try emailing them--Ensure ur case # is in the subject line along with a description of what u need. And if I was a betting person, they will be closing early on Tuesday!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Just being observational again, but I've noticed a few times in the forums where the people mentioned the consulate randomly closes to take care of some kind of official business. I bet this is what happened so they bumped your guy to the next day. If he was unauthorized to schedule (as an example, sounds like you guys got everything right) the system cancels you outright until you get packet 4.

By the way, I've gotten one official packet 4 and like 3 copy cat emails some poor guy has sent me in response to the emails I sent weeks ago.. lol

Yeah, that's what I was guessing too. I'm just glad they rebooked before I bought a plane ticket!

It's best when posts have been made in a regionally specific forum, to not mention anything unless you're familiar with that consulate or embassy. FYI in Canada we do not interview in an embassy, both are consulates.

I should elaborate now that I'm a little less pissed.

The consulate rescheduled his interview for February 14 (a day that I can't get off work) without telling us. How can they keep rescheduling it?! I already bought a plane ticket and booked the hotel for the Feb 28th interview. In his panic, he accidentally cancelled the interview, and we're now booked for March 28th in hopes that something will open up.

Are we missing a step? Is there a reason they keep rescheduling us? Please, somebody, shed some light on what the hell is going on.

SO, I finally heard back from Montreal, and they claim we do not have an interview scheduled at all... I was directed to the website to schedule an appointment where (shocker) we already had one. I emailed the usvisa-info email that was given to us to see if they can give us better answers. Supposedly, we were mailed Packet 4, but neither of us have received it, other than the email.

So frustrating!
