My Landlord is selling the house that I'm renting and he's telling people that it will be available at the end of June (I had told him that that was when I intended to leave) ... he requests 60 days notice and I told him that my interview could be for June or July so I told him to accept my 60 days as of May 1st.

I don't want to be obligated to pay for another full month if my interview ends up being in the first part of June ... worst case scenario I guess would be to put my stuff in storage and live with my sister if the interview isn't until July. ... I could kinda handle that ... any further than mid July would make me lose my mind (I love my sister to death but living together with our children should only be a short time arrangement:))

Maybe you should have only given your 60 days notice once you had your visa approved.... what will you do if you are not approved at interview and have a delay to deal with???

I dont see Montreal taking this into account as they always advise not to make any plans until your visa is approved...

Hope it works out for you...

I am proof that unanticpated delays can and will happen at moments when least expected. I had a good interview at Montreal and was told I would get the passport and visa in a week. That was on Feb 21 todate No Visa! from what I know I am undergoing administrative processing which is normal for Men some dont have to wait for more then a day some have to wait for weeks possibly months or even more. This could be due to anything however is more prevalent with men who have common last names. Im glad I didnt make any measure to leave my job or give a notice to my landlord just like the letter from the consulate states. You should make arrangements when you have the actual visa in your hand. Better to be safe then sorry. Goodluck I hope you dont have to face any delays and are united with your loved one soon.

Hopefully Montreal will have thier butt in gear by then. I sold my house in Feb. I'm presently here in WA. with Lorry.

I came here on Feb 23 and ran my return flight back to Nova Scotia out to May 12 assuming my interview would be before then. It now appears I'll be staying at my Sister's place longer than the couple of weeks I had figured on.

It shouldn't matter to Montreal where one lives in Canada. After all we are planning on leaving whenever they get around to us anyhow

Not a big deal, as long as ur sister doesn't mind!! lol

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

I know that I shouldn't make any plans without the final approval :blush: ... I'm just counting on the stars falling into place when they should as this is my head in the clouds optimistic nature (you'ld think that I would know better by now :)) like so many here on VJ have done. If it doesn't work out as planned and there are a few months delay I suppose that I can always rent a place or stay at my sisters and save some $. My employer will keep me as long as it takes and has been more than understanding as I have kept them informed every step of the way which is amazing (I'll be working for them still once I'm in the States in another position) ... the only thing that would be really upsetting is my son not being able to start at the beginning of the new school year in the States which I really want to happen. Its hard enough being the new kid in the school let alone starting into the school year.

I sympathize with you......I had originally hoped that we'd be moving before school started in the fall, but it certainly doesn't seem likely :(
