sounds silly cause they just make ya do all that like a couple months ago but oh well one step closer

what all is in the biometrics appt?

in checklist it says bring passport and copy of bio page . whats the bio page?

i called the peace bridge border and i was asking about temp work permits and they told me that POE do not issue them but the states local offices do issue them . anyone else hear this?

Just called DOS and got an inteview date July 29th in montreal YAHHHHHHHHHHH i hope all get one

you can finish the online form without a pic and i emailed montreal and they said canadian passport pics are just fine to bring

I sent several things to prove I met my fiancee. She is from Colombia, but we flew to Peru to meet. We went to see Machu Picchu, so I had photos of us together with the ruins in the backdrop. I had flight tickets for her and for myself. I had stamped passport information for both of us. The only thing I did not send was copies of emails and MSN conversations to prove ongoing relations. Should I package up some and send them, or will they ask me for additional proof if needed? Thanks!

If needed,they will ask for more.We didnt have any copies of emails or conversations.We sent pics,hotel statements,flight statements and everything was fine.Good luck!

omg im soo glad to see montreal is moving i cant wait to get our interview congrats to all of you that got urs

i just had my medical on tuesday in toronto it was 275 plus if you cant get there to pick it up in 2 days its an extra 50 to have them send it to you it went fast i was there at 715 and gone by 930 there was about 17 people there

is there anyway besides calling DoS to check on status of your case?

when you go to your interview can you bring a cd full of pictures? or do they have to be in photo paper form?

At least you know you're just crossing your fingers for that interview date!!!!! It seems K-1'ers fly through USCIS and NVC and wait long for an interview, but CR1/K3'ers wait WAY too long for USCIS/NVC and within 2-3 months we have an interview? Wish it would all be the same wait time....that would be nice!

They probably give you that automated response so you'll stop asking, but I'm guessing you should at least get an interview before then! Look at some other people's timelines and see what their wait time was, hopefully it gives you some hope!

Very true..I looked at other timelines beforehand..That was the only email Ive ever sent asking about it.Oh well..no worries..I reckon lol.Have a great day!

did you call everyday or once a week? and how long till you started to call and you called DoS right?

Thailand also appears to be at a standstill as people who returned Packet 3 over two months ago are still waiting. However, recently people were getting interviews scheduled within two weeks of returning the forms. I am a believer in Karma, so we'll just make the best of this wait.

Amen! Im calm now lol..we will make the best of it (if I gotta) lol.Good luck!!

we hope your right that email freaked us out . and does calling DoS help ? what do we ask them?

We emailed montreal askign if we have an interview date yet and they emailed back saying 4-6 month waiting list OMG anyone else hear this ????

My own wait is about the same...

sucks - it flew through USCIS and NVC.

There seems to be a long wait in CA and the UK (rest of 'western' countries are more normal).

Ironically we sucked going through USCIS, but got the interview 4 weeks after NOA2.

Wow,wtg there! I got a little too excited I guess.

I emailed the Montreal Embassy,and asked very nicely if we had an interview date yet.Only to get a response of..You're on a 4-6 month waiting list.Just when you think there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

You can try to change it by filling out the change of address form and/or calling the USCIS but I will tell you that more often than not, the change doesn't happen...even if they say it does/will.

Your best bet is going to be using an address of someone who is gonig to be at the same place throughout the process. Chances are you will need to stay on top of this the entire time.

I can tell you from experiance that this is great advise. I used the on line, paper document, phone calls & even two Info Pass meetings & it still got screwed up.

The day of the final Info Pass meeting I was told " dont worry we are sure this will straighten this all out now". " This has all been because you didnt do everything correctly & we couldnt mail you the documents". " It will take about 60 to 90 days to re-send everything".

The following day we recieved all the documents we had waited all those months for & at the address they said they didnt have.

I did the online change of address at USCIS and it went just fine.They sent me a letter confirming it.Good luck!!

you can narrow your timeline search to certain countries and embassies maybe that will help you

here in canada they tell you that you have to bring the letter stating that you have made it to that step

i just got a reply from the consulate in montreal they say that teh canadian passport pics will do just fine

so i need the 2x2 pics then cause they had a hard time making them that small i will get em redone thanks for your help

when i had my pictures taken the form says its the same standard as the canadian passport pics but when i uploaded my pic when i filled out the online form it rejected it any help please

Only time ours was touched was when it was approved
