Hi Folks

Just wondering if anyone can help me with some info

I had to postpone my CR-1 interview ( which was scheduled for Dec 15th) as I was out of the country and returned back just few days ago , I wrote to the embassy saying my dilemma and also sent them copies of my ticket and earlier note to NVC explicitly letting them know that I cannot be available end of nov till early jan ...I got a reply from the Montreal embassy that "the contents have been noted"

Now here is the issue:

a> Now when i call NVC they say , they dont know as all the files are with Montreal Embassy and that I need to contact them directly

b> Montreal embassy doesnot entertain phone calls, so I emailed them twice still no reply

Any ideas if there is any other way to contact the embassy ?

Any suggestions appreciated and Thank you

Happy New Year!!!

Hello

Since you are an Indian Citizen you will need to get the PCC from the district and local police in India

Folks

Anyone with CR1 interview in Montreal during the month of November? Just want to figure out if they have allocated interviews for November yet

Thanks for the info

Folks

Is it true that if you are in US , and a Canadian Citizen , you cannot vote ..Is there any online voting system?

Thanks

You will also have to get a certificate from the Indian Consulate in Toronto , saying no negative records ..( This is for the PCC In India)

Best of luck

Oh ..I am in Toronto...So my interview will be at Montreal..You r right about "not seeing it again part" I think that way everytime I had over my passport to any agency!

My hopes just got crashed, as i am going on a 6 weeks vacation starting mid nov ...so no scope of attending interview in nov (beginning) before I leave

Still hoping for an October date ..

Thanks Flames9!

Folks

Hi Folks

Just a simple question ..After the CR-1 (Spouse Visa) Interview at Montreal , do you have to submit your current passport there? I always thought the green card was a seperate card and nothing has to be stamped on your current passport

Please do let me know

Thank you

Hi INR

You should get an affadivit of name stating that both are the same person , quoting documents containing these two names, its done by lawyers on a routine basis

Best of luck

Thanks Flames9,Waitforever,Pandora01

Waitforever: Where are u getting these stats from?..Is it from the timelines posted here or some other Montreal Consulate Link ?

If it from stats here on VJ then they may not be accurate ...

My case will leave NVC only end of this month i think , As my australian police clearance is going to take about 15 days more ..etc etc...

So I am looking to get a case complete early October ...

Being extremely positive, I am going to say that I will get an early Nov Date for the Interview

Thanks again

Wingsforever

Thanks cattattude, Just read about ur interview experience, Great review

Hi Folks

For the time being my CR1 is still stuck at NVC waiting for my Australian Police Clearance and Original Date of Birth Certificate ...

Do you know how long it takes the Montreal Consulate to schedule your interview once your case reaches them ? Is it the same for CR1 and K1

All inputs are highly appreciated

Thanks

Hi Silent

My brother is married to an American of Greek Origin, they have three kids, two boys: Siddhartha, Akilendra and one girl: Julie

So I suppose it depends on how many kids you have and if you have the patience to be innovative

HI Bani

Not needed

Best of luck

Forgot to mention that I was in Melbourne Australia as student ...

For the immigration process, I got my Canadian and Indian Police Clerance already , Now this Australian one is giving me grief

Thanks for your help

Hi Folks

Can some one applying for CR1 from Australia help me with this question?

There are two type of Police Clearance from the Australian Federal Police

$32.73 for each National Police Check application.

$93.64 for a fingerprint and National Police Check application where fingerprints are supplied to the AFP upon application.

Do you know which one is to be taken? Do I have to send in fingerprints for the check ...

I was in Australia for two periods (both less than one year) however both of them totally to one year

Any help is appreciated

Thank you

Hi There

Also write your case number on all document pages that you send in along with your DS230

Best of luck

Just read what CNMB was saying :"the interviews scheduled for september have already been notified and posted on their website"

Do they do this at all embassies? First time I heard about this

Any info?

Thanks

Wingsforever

Hi

First pay the fee bill ( either by post or online) I did it online, However I have heard from some folks that this is not an option now ..

Once you pay that fee, you will get a cover page ( fee receipt) , This has to be included in the DS 230 Application

Also DS-230 needs a lot more documents to be send with it , mainly date of birth, police clearence certificates, marriage certificate copy, etc etc ...

You can change your address anytime , just update the NVC regarding it and call and make sure they have made the change!

Hope this is what u wanted to know

Best of luck

Hi

Amazing, I cant say what is more painful, going thro all this or remembering old times ...

May be this is a stupid question to ask, but have you approached your congressman? or senator?

Wishing you all the strength and courage to go thro this

Wingsforever

Hi ziggyboo

So how long did it take for you to get the visa by mail...?

Thanks for info

Wingsforever

HI Nita

I think that should be all the more reason for them to grant him the visa faster ...

It is very common with all the unpredictablity around , to not see folks for a year or more ...I am sure they understand that ...Just tell them the truth ...

Best of luck with the interview
