Dear Visa Journey (L)

 

Hubby and I would like to thank everyone for all your support and assistance. We are so grateful for those who replied to our messages and those who took the time to answer all our questions. We definitely would not had made it this far without your help. We're soooo happy. It still feels like a dream. It's hard to believe I got approved so fast.

 

If anyone is interested, I can describe my medical test experience and all the details of my interview in Montreal.

Sorry it took me forever to reply. Here's our timeline:

 

2015

   March 27th

   Hubby and I met online and spent hours getting to know each other.

   May 21st

   Our first in person meeting in Vancouver. We discovered our online chemistry was real.

   July 2nd

   Second meeting. This time we went to Tofino.

   August 19th

   I spent a month and a half in Wisconsin.

  December 19th

  Hubby proposed to me while were having lunch in a Vancouver restaurant. Totally unexpected.

 

2016

   March 27th

   We got married in a little garden in Vancouver.

   April 21st

   We sent out our I-130 application

   May 2nd

   We received NOA1

   August 25th

   Our file was moved to an office in Texas.

   September 16th

   I-130 approved!

   October 26th

   NVC received our case file.

   November 7th

   We filled out the DS-261 form and the AOS Form.

   November 18th

   We paid $120 for the AOS and $325 for the IV Packet.

   November 24th

   We filled out the DS-260 form.

   November 28th

   We sent out the I-864EZ form and the complete IV Packet.

 

2017

   January 20th

   We received a notice. NVC case file completed.

   February 3rd

   Interview letter for March 3rd at 2:30 pm.

   February 14th

   Had my medical exam at Dr. Cheema's office. Everything went fine. I had made sure I had all my vaccines. They checked my weight, my height, my blood pressure, my eyesight and then the doctor asked me a few questions.

   Before I knew it, it was over. Getting the lab tests was a bit of pain. There was a big line up for the blood test. I probably had to wait an hour, before my name was called.

   February 16th

   I picked up my test results and the sealed envelope.

   March 3rd

   We arrived at the Embassy at around 1:45 pm. They told us we were too early. We went back at 2:15 pm. They checked my passport and gave me a piece of paper with a list of how to sort out our paperwork.

   Next they made us go through the scanners. No biggie. The next room with the elevator was deserted. We expected to see a bunch of people waiting to go up. No one was there.

   When we got to the 19th floor, we sorted out our paperwork and then they called my number. The lady at the counter was super nice. She noticed how nervous I was and told me to relax and just breathe.

   Having Hubby next to me helped too. After she took my fingerprints she told us to wait for the interview.

   This time I had to do it by myself. The gentleman that did the interview was very nice too. Asked me how I met my husband, asked about the wedding, what kind of work my husband does. Very simple questions.

   As he was going through his list he then told me I was approved. It took me a minute to realize what he had said. I got all teary eye. The whole interview lasted about 5 minutes.

   March 8th

   The Visa packet was delivered to a post office in West Vancouver. My passport and a sealed envelope were inside the packet. I paid the Immigrant fee once I got home.
