Did you pay for them all at once or is it possible as some have said...to get the 1st and only pay for that?

Well some of the reason for doubt was cost, but more so for the true requirement of needing it or not. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think we might do the first one to satisfy the vaccination needs, but skip the rest. I thought they were pills, not shots?

Just to confirm, I don't need it before the K-1 interview and I don't need it before AOS? Then when do I need it? That doesn't seem to make sense.

If it IS right, then thanks for the information.

My fiance and I have been reading the pros and cons of this vaccine and the possible side effects.

Besides those, we also noticed the cost, around $350 to $400. Is this a situation where you may object

to the vaccination and risk trouble during the interview or what? I'm wondering that since its a multi-step

drug over periods of weeks, that she can take the first pill prior to immigration and continue the other two

when the time comes after she is here.

I hope there is some leeway on this issue and not just get it or you don't pass type of deal.

Take pictures!

Is depositing it in that bank required for K1?

I was under the assumption you bring the $131 cash with you to Montreal and hand it over at that point.

Seems like the batch idea of letters was a good assumption.

We got ours October 17th

Good luck to anyone else waiting.

Well in theory, you could base your wedding date on your interview date. Granted the approval rate is not 100%, but

I think its a safe bet that you can plan around it. That's what we are doing, ONCE we get our date

One can only hope that they are that generous. Here's to continued waiting...

*tapping fingers on desk*

That would be a professional level report, considering the variables involved.

Just think of the database that would have to crosscheck these things:

K1/K3 Visa issued in state ___

Originating country ___

Arrival state ___

Male ___

Female ___

Age ___

___

___

I would imagine that such a list exists.

Hmm, well I guess I will get her to contact the office. She lives within the province, so I doubt that loophole would work.

Thanks for the information so far.

I would imagine the same mysteries surround the women's visit to her gyno office. We, or I, can only assume that feeling versus

the examination of the prostate later on in life.

Anyways, has anyone who visited this doctor not had it covered by insurance, and if so, what was your cost? We are on a tight budget

and its nice to know ahead of time. Also, did you bring your 3 passport pictures to the office?

I could be lewd or proper, so I'll aim for the middle road. Generally, I have assumed that it is when the doctor places his or her hand on a man's ####### and has them

cough. This to ensure proper transition from adolescent to adulthood. I don't know the specifics beyond that.

I will let her know what I've found from your situations, I hope that if the "stripping" is needed, that at least she knows ahead of time. Sorry to hear about your

uneasiness with the situation.

I meant that rather than a lengthy waiting time and red tape, she just talked to the receptionist in the waiting area where 30 or so people were waiting. Afterwards, we entered a room with 5 women, who were taking blood from individuals. I wasn't specifying her job, but rather the environment.

My fiance Danielle will be going to see him soon. Thanks for the information. Was the hospital visit for blood work and xrays fairly painless?

She's gone to Dartmouth medical for lab work before and it was simply a nurse taking blood. Similar situation as best you can remember?

Thanks!

Well the packet said something along the lines of 4 months till an interview date, but I hope that was well exaggerated.

The Montreal page here on VJ says roughly 1-2 months between Montreal receiving the P3 and the notice. If she has one

in mid to late October, I think we will both be happy. She's hoping to be here for our Thanksgiving

I understand the POE officer has to be suspicious of everyone, but look at it this way:

Why would someone put the $ and time into the visa process...and then immigrate illegally?

Personally, that individual would deserve a slap across the head for just throwing money away

like that.

As this thread slowly sinks into the oblivion of the forum, I just wanted to post some good news. Got our

P3 last night and sent it out this morning. So, here's to hoping for the next piece of mail: our interview notice.

Good luck to anyone still waiting and congrats to the lucky ones already on their way to the U.S.

I'm sure that happens in more places besides this forum.

Those who are waiting...complain.

Those who are happy...confused.

Those who are done...comfy.

Good observations though

Not that its a long time, but 2 weeks went by and no Packet 3. However, this is because after emailing Montreal...the packet had been sent out

almost 2.5 weeks ago. So, they are sending another one out today. That bugs me that we could have been waiting those 2 weeks on the interview

list, not this way.

Grrrrr

I emailed them and they asked me to confirm her address, which I did and received an email this morning:

We sent your packet of information out 2 weeks ago, however, we will resend one immediately.

Two weeks gone

This is slightly dissapointing Similar timeline 1 and Similar timeline 2

Both have received their packet on or around 3.5 weeks from the NOA2 date. I'm going on 5 weeks and no replies from Montreal from an email sent a week ago, with all the useful information included.

We also got the receipt from the NVC in late July and she has yet to receive her Packet 3. I've emailed them on Friday, so I'm

hoping for a response sometime this week. I know they get very, very busy and only have a handful of people doing the job

of many. She is all ready with her forms and evidence, just waiting for the Packet 3 from them Keep us up to date if anything

happens with anyone else.

She mentioned that is rather pretty outside, so I'm sure we'll go for walks and venture around when she isn't working.

The flight back on Sept. 5th puts me in Boston for 3 hours Better have some good movies on my laptop

Well it looks like I'm heading to Halifax

Flyin on the 24th, so if anyone else is flying...I'll see you in hell, I mean the airport
