Interview tomorrow morning.......

My interview is this Friday in Montreal. So nervous and excited at the same time!!!

Flying to Montreal tmw morning. Will update you all and post my experience...

Hey all,

My interview is in 2 weeks in Montreal!!

I have prepared these to bring to the interview:

Loomis registration confirmation

P4 interview letter

Passport and photocopy of biographic page

Medical examination in sealed envelope

2 color passport sized photos

Confirmation page of DS-260

Copy of birth certificate and translation

Copy of marriage certificate

Police certificate

Copy of hubby's US citizenship and US passport

Am I missing anything?

NVC sent all the originals of my documents to consulate. My police certificate is dated May 25,2014, do I need to request a new one although P4 didnt say I needed to. Also, do I need to bring copies of AOS? And, what does it mean by 'documents proving petitioners domicile'?

I am just so nervous and worried because my P4 said NVC sent everything to consulate and I don't need to bring any documents. However, to stay on the safe side I am bringing photocopies.

How long does it take for it to go from "ready" to "in transit"?

Took 2 weeks to go from 'at nvc' to 'in transit' then one day from 'in transit' to 'ready'. (Our case went to Montreal).

Thanks Sdg612!

How long was it from the time you emailed the doctor to the day of appointment, then the interview?

You're welcome! I emailed the doctor's office in the evening on Jan 5 and they replied back to me the next day Jan 6 after 4pm. I requested appointment Jan 13 or 14 and they scheduled me for Jan 14 @ 8:30am. Also, I was told I can pick up the results the following day after 4pm. My interview is on Feb 20 @10:30am.

Hey fellow vj'ers!!!

I just wanted to write a review about my medical examination experience. This may benefit anyone living in BC, Canada.

The only panel physician in BC is Dr. Gulzar Cheema in North Delta/Surrey. I called the office and the receptionist told me to email them my full name, type of visa, case number, interview date and preferred date for medical examination appointment. The office replied back to me within 24 hrs with an appointment and I replied confirming the appointment. Attached to the email was a 12 page pdf of instructions and facts about the examination (what to bring, exam details, required vaccines,etc).

My appointment was yesterday at 8:30am. I took the 301 bus from Brighouse Richmond to Scotsdale Exchange Bay 3 (30min commute). The dr office was a few minutes away by walking. I arrived at 8:15am. Receptionist asked for my interview letter and passport first. Then asked for my immunization record and 4 passport photos. She asked me for my address in Canada and intended address in the US. She also asked if I had ever been in the US and if my stay exceeded 6 months. She went over my vaccinations and said I need a Tdapp and flu shot. (Tdapp is not available in any pharmacy in BC; you can only get this vaccine from the travel clinic in Vancouver) However, Dr. Cheema's office has a stash of this vaccine, so i didnt have to make a trip elsewhere to get the vaccine. The exam costs $280. Tdapp $45. Flu shot $25. Paid total of $350 (cash or debit only).

Next, nurse called me in and checked my height and weight. Went into the examination room, Dr. Cheema walked in and began asking questions and going over my mediacl history. General yes or no questions. Then, he began the physical exam. The nurse was in the room the entire time. Physical examination consisted of blood pressure check, chest and back breathing, pressed underarms for lumps, pressed abdoman and that was it. Next, i got the flu shot on one arm and the Tdap on the other.

Next, nurse asked me to sit for 15 minutes because I was just vaccinated. Then, receptionist called me to the counter and gave me paperwork for the xray and bloodwork. She gave me directions to the medical building. The medical building is literally a 5 min drive away, but since I bused, i just walked (30 min).

The imaging center is on the ground floor. As soon as you step foot into the building the room is on your right. Was done with xray and out in ~15min. The lifelabs is on the second floor. Walked in and took a number. Got called to the counter, gave the form, passport and healthcard. The gentlemen met me at the back and withdrew my blood. He told me not to lift anything or push/pull doors for 15 min because my arm could swell up and bleed. So, I decided to wait in the waiting room for 15 min. THE END ?

Forgot to mention that the receptionist told me I can pick up my medical package the next day after 4pm. I will pick up my package tomorrow Godwilling. This was a very long review; sorry!!!

In transit finally

You want to bring copies or originals of EVERYTHING and the reason for this is because if they lose something, that may delay the process. Instead if you have a copy of something which is lost by them, you can use the copy and wrap up the process.

Thank you soooo much that is definitely the thing to do!!!

Congrats

If all of them are sent to consulate then you need not to bring them , please read it again to make sure you did not miss anything.

Most people only need to bring Passports.

Thank you for your reply God bless

Hello everyone,

I am in need of your advice. My P4 says that NVC has submitted or sent all required documents to the Montreal consulate; does this mean I do not need to bring any photocopies except for the P4 letter???

Even for the passport photos the code says NVC sent them to the US Embassy/Consulate.

Hey all,

My case was compete 12/22. We got interview date on 12/29 and p4 email 01/03. Case status says at NVC still. Is that normal? Should i call NVC and follow up on my case status?

Btw, my interview is on a Friday (02/20). How long til the package will be ready after the interview? Saturday and Sunday consulate is closed right? So, i lose two days, right? Asking cuz we are booking hotel from 02/18-02/26. Hopefully, we wont have to extend our stay. This whole trip is costing us over $1000 (flight+hotel alone).

Congratulations for your CC. Was this for a checklist or no checklist?
