My interview is over, I was approved although I think I was close to not being approved lol.
The lady asked me what I planned on doing for work and had I looked into it yet. I said I googled somethings to see what the job market and job requirements were, but that I hadn't applied for anything yet. She then asked if I had any documentation of my plans in the U.S.A and I said no...thinking she was talking jobs. She was typing and I got a bad vibe, after a couple minute of her typing I said "well, I have a lease and receipt from the moving truck when my husband moved stuff down earlier this month, and the packing list." Her demeanor changed a bit, and she wanted to see those. I offered other proof of domicile, and she said that this was enough. A couple more minutes of typing and she said she would be issuing me a visa.
I'll write a full review when I get home.

Got my green card in the mail yesterday, 28 days after POE, faster than I expected. I still find Saturday mail delivery weird Lol.
Good luck to everyone with NVC.

Because coming here on a tourist visa with the intent to remain and adjust is fraud?

Hey everyone, just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I see a lot of my fellow Canadians got Feb.10th interview dates, which is my birthday so I think it will be a good day.
I got my SS card in the mail, 11 days after POE.

POE was done yesterday at the thousand island bridge. It was a piece of cake, thanks everyone and thanks vj for all the valuable info that helped us each step of the way. I'm so glad that I don't need to deal with uscis or NVC for the next 9.5 years or so!

Yup, I picked it up this evening. I never got an email that it was ready, but when I checked on the usvisa-info website it said ready for pick up, so I went in.

Interview checklist says they want to see the originals and an English translation. (Page 5 and 6 depending on which visa you are applying for)

Been out shopping all day after my interview because I was approved!!! Downtown Montreal is a great place.
2015 will be a happy New year for sure!

Great interview today as I was approved. What a relief

Interview over and I was approved. CEAC already says issued (I just left maybe 20 minute ago), but the wording underneath says it is undergoing necessary administrative processing. She said I should have the visa in 3-5 days.

Hi everyone
Sitting at Sydney airport waiting for flight back home so thought I would post with the past 24 hours news.
After receiving email from Consulate last Wednesday saying they had rescheduled interview but giving me my current date of 23rd December I didn't hear back from the until 8.30 am on Monday, yesterday. Guess when the interview was. 10.45 am today. I flew into action. Didn't go to work, booked flights, hotels, babysitters and ran to Post Office to get my 3kgs Express envelope. Two hours later I was at the airport.
Hotel in Sydney CBD upgraded me to a penthouse apartment and after a sleepless night I was at the Consulate by 10.15 am.
Didn't really have to e to get nervous. It all went so quickly. End result
APPROVED!!!!!
On my way home now to my children.
Will catch up on everybody's posts tomorrow.
Love
Xxxxx

Well I had my POE at the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier Airport and the officer that handled me there was the last officer I had talked to when I visited last so he was really excited and happy and friendly. It was a great POE! I'm in Chicacgo for a layover and then I'll be in Atlanta!

POE - Done!!! at Douglas (Peace Arch) US-Canada Border Crossing in Blaine, WA!
After 45 minutes, I'm finally a permanent resident of the USA!
My immigration journey has finally come to an end after 13 months.
I'll post my POE experience later.
We rented a car and drove from Vancouver (Canada) to Seattle to move our moving boxes.
But, I'm not in the US now since I had to come back to Canada to return the rental car!
I will finally move to the US for good tomorrow!

Just a reminder folks: READ THE FIRST POST. I have seen soooo many questions here that can be simply answered if you put some time in and actually READ. Read the first post. Read the wiki. Read the official instructions. Read the official websites. Use some common sense. Most of you are making this process waaay harder than it has to be.

Approved and CEAC says issued!!!
