I went without insurance from June to January. Couldn't even sign up until November. US government apparently doesn't think that immigrating is life changing enough to add someone to insurance. ROFL

That is a shame one would think that would be the case. Luckily enough though marriage is normally a qualifying life changing to add someone.

Anyone have their interview in MTL, Canada? I have my interview on Wednesday and am just looking for any pointers. I'm so excited What kind of questions can I expect? Wait times etc?

We got our visa in hand today so excited. As for as the Montreal experience, you can see the review my finance put up along with some others here. We will be wishing you luck!!!!!

Congratulations! We were approved today in London.

I have my visa approve the 7 and up until this day i have not seeing 1 update , ap is normally 1-2days some people are lucky yet they find reason to complain

Congratulations on the approval I pray and hope you don't stay in AP for too long.

I believe it is normal for all visa to go thru at least a day or two of AP. Ours was in AP from Friday till Monday and then on Tuesday about midday it changed to issue.Also here is another good thread about the wait times after approval of the visa. Oh and before I forget congratulations!!!!! on the approval!!!!

Congratulations!!!!! We got approved last Wednesday, now were are just int he long wait to get the visa in our hands.

Congrats to all!

Is there anyone from this thread that has already arrived in the US? Please keep updating us with your progress and how you are adjusting.

Not yet, but going to pick my fiancee around the 26th of February, then we will go see her parents and try to be back home first week of March

That is what I did, save I put n k1 visa since that is what we are doing.

My fiancee just had her interview today, and she was approved. We are very happy and also would like to thank everyone on here for all the great advice and stories. Looking forward to more as our life journey continues

I'm so confused about CEAC...when I enter my MTL # it says 'your search did not return any data'

I would try it again, the site might been under maintenance when you tried.

The p4 tells you how to set up your appointment. Here is a snipet from our p4.

Schedule your visa interview appointment

Please visit http://canada.usvisa-info.com/ to obtain information online or via telephone concerning scheduling an interview appointment for you and those family members included in the petition. If you have not previously registered your information and selected a Loomis/DHL courier location on this website, please do so now.

You must have the Passport Number, Date of Birth, Nationality, MTL case number, and visa category for each applicant (principal applicant and all family members, including children) ready in order to access the website. When prompted to select “Trip Purpose”, you must choose ‘Permanently Immigrate to the US.’ After entering your information, you will be prompted to select an appointment time for you and your family.

And, after they get your packet 3 via email and do their magic to it they will email you packet 4.

CONGRATS! I am wondering, do they tell you a specific date and POE you must depart on and go through?

You have 6 months from the medical to use a k-1 visa. And you can use any POE that you wish at the airports or land crossing at the borders up to you

but i didnt send anything lately.

hmm. Then it might be useful to call the DOS the might be able to tell why it updated then. in the worst case at least you know its getting touched and moving along

Hi.

Question: Have any of your significant others lived in the US previously under a work visa etc for at least 12 months? Mine did many years ago. I am curious if anyone had to also get a US Police Clearance?

not sure about your embassy/consulate but here is a cut and paste from our p4 letter. Hope it helps.

Approved"!! Life is good. Thank you to all for your support! Cheers

Congratulations!!!!! We are almost there, interview is scheduled for Feb 12th

NLR pretty much nailed it on the head

You can keep checking the site and see if you can get a closer interview date.

That what we are doing and praying for. But at least we now know the worst case for an interview date

lol very true, there always a silver lining even if you don't see right away

Ugh, Why does Montreal's interview date have to be so far out. Oh well at least on the bright side we have an interview date!

It is very nice to see all the apporvals and interview appointment being setup!! We just got our packt 4 and should have an interview appoint soon I hope.

I had to look up for some information of previous spouse from when we got divorced back in 1993. In state of Kentucky I just had to supply her name, maiden name and about when the divorce took place. Not sure what state you are trying to get it from but I would start by going (if possible) to the county clerks office where the divorce took place hopefully they have a record of the proceedings still.
