Did you have the wait in line or was the lady at night wrong?

Thank You!!!!

I'm packing to fly to Vancouver

So scared I'm forgetting something!

Anyone else have their interview on Friday in Vancouver????

We looked into that b/c I'm doing the same thing

and it's NO PROBLEMO!!!

Hi Mercy

Thanks for your help. I have last question for you. I check the website you gave to me. How did you do your medical exam when you starting apply adjustment of status(AOS).

Did you jsut submit the copy of K1 medical examination. How about the case number. I asked for it but the doctor said I need to get new case number then they will mail to me the copy. How could we know new case number now if we jsut starting apply AOS/EDA (adjsut status)? see the following statement from that website:

"13. I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. (If you already have this from your overseas Visa Interview submit a copy that medical check form; No fee is required in this case. If you are a K-1 fiancé(e) or K-2 dependent who had a medical examination within the past year as required for the nonimmigrant fiancé(e) visa, you only need to submit a vaccination supplement (I-693A), not the entire medical report. You may include the vaccination supplement with your adjustment of status application.) "

I asked the doctor who did my medical for a copy of the vaccination supplement, which I'll include with my AOS application. If your doctor didn't/wouldn't give you a copy, I think you can ask at the POE when you enter on your K1, otherwise call the doctor again and ask simply for a copy of the vaccination supplement, not the entire medical. I'm not sure what you mean about case number though.

Thanks Mercy.

Not sure if this is of any help, but I just picked up my medical package today, they gave me an extra copy of my vacinations and were sure to point out that THEY do not keep a copy.

So if your doctor is the same.. they won't have one for you

I wasn't required to give an address out west, you may need to either You may just want to ask for a Transfer! THAN if they ask why, etc tell them all that!

I stressed myself totally out about the whole transfer, address thing

and it was SO easy

maybe the lady on the phone was in a really good mood though.. hehe

I transfered

I had received my package 3 from Montreal when I realized I wouldn't get my interview til February IF I was lucky. So after much advice, especially from mercy, I called Montreal and asked that my case my transfered to Vancouver. They did it. No questions asked, she didn't require an address out west (I'm from Ontario), She just DID IT! I was super surprised... She typed away on her computer and boom it was transfered.

Vancouver Immidietely receives a eletronic copy of your case, so they know who you are at that point. They can not issue you an interview though until the paper copy arrives in the mail. I faxed Vancouver my check list right away, and kept calling to check in, The day my paper copy of my case arrived I was given my interview date of the phone. December 8th (3 weeks away from when they got my case)

That's my story

YIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my package 4 today, it came super fast! My interview is at 10 AM on the 8th It'd be pretty cool if one of you received the 8th also!!!

HEather

You probably know by now if you got it, can't wait to hear!!!!

YIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're all so very very very happy for you!!!! And we can't wait to be in the same shoes you are now Visa in hand, Plans confirmed!

I'm waiting for mine!!! Mind you I'm in Ontario though... and only a couple days have gone by since my interview date was assigned, so I'm not expeting it for awhile!

And yes it was a long weekend.

Oh I wasn't aware you could fax the list back. What's the fax number?

Vancouver Fax number: 604-685-7175

I faxed my checklist and DS-230 part 1 on a Friday (That had a holiday monday) So I called on Tuesday (called (604)685-4311, ext. 235) they transfered my call to another extension which I left a message on a machine. I called back the next day (Wednesday) They had just received my case (literal copy) from Monteal that day, she made sure everything was in order and gave schedualed me for an interview while I was on the phone.

I'm still waiting on Packet 3. Apparently NVC sent to Van. sometime between like.. the 9th and 14th?

I don't want to bother them to find out

I did shoot off an email to Vancouver though to see if they had recieved it yet. Haven't heard anything so far.

I'm hoping to land an interview before the end of the year, but I don't know how realistic that is.

I'd recommend calling and emailing - it seemed to do the trick for me when I knew that NVC had sent through my petition. In a twisted way I think they may show you some more love if you harass them!

I FULLY Agree... persistance is key You're more likely to get results...

Thank you! I didn't realize the reviews where there, should have figured!

Thanks everyone!!!

I feel your excitment!!! I won't be there with you, but i will be the day after! I just got my interview date for the 8th!!!!!!!

I know Alot about interviews in Montreal, but not about Vancouver.. and since I'm going to Vancouver now.. I need help!!!

What time do I need to go?

Do they Issue the same day, my interview is on a Friday, can I fly home Friday afternoon?

Is there anything I need to bring other than what was listed in my package 3?

Hi all,

I got the forms sent to me from the US Embassy here in Ireland with the DS-230 and DS-156 form in it, on the cover page it said " Frist send the DS-230 right away because nothing can be done until we receive this" But with the packet also had like a check list of things needed. My question is, do i send the DS-230 and wait for them to get back to me or get everything on the check list and and send them, i tried to call but there was no answer. Any help or information would be great. Thanks

Dermot

If it's the same as here...

Step One: Send in the DS-230. (Part 1 only)

Step Two: Complete the check list, sign it, and send in copy of signed check list (or fax it)

I would only assume you dont' have to wait to hear from them to move onto step two.

I'm in too. Faxed in my Packet 3 Checklist yesterday. I actually went to the Consulate to pick up my package rather than have it snail mailed to me - hoping that shaved some time off!

probably saved about a week

Good call!

keep us updated.
