I was wondering the same thing if anyone could shed some light on this. I am the USC and will be accompanying the fiancé to his interview. As the USC, what info will I need to give him (letter of intent, I-134 w/ documentation, pictures, etc)? What will they ask of him that’s not already on the checklist? Sorry to bump your post Tammy.

Hi everyone,

It looks like they have opened up a few dates between April 23-25. Hurry while you can get one because they go very quick!

Congrats to everyone...I've been reading your posts and am anxiously awaiting too...however, in my case I can't rush into an interview yet...first need to fix up the house to get it ready for listing....then I can proceed with booking an interview and medical. Does anyone know if they've opened up more interview dates and what is the latest date available? I'm trying to stretch this to late May...maybe June. As much as I want to be with my man, there are still so many things I need to do here first..... I've waited 8 years for this, I can wait a bit longer.....well, maybe just a bit. Thanks a bundle!

Hi toocool,

I just logged into my fiances account and it looks like they currently have no appointments available and the calendar is empty. The best suggestions I have is to get a group of VJers and check the website as often as you can. When dates finally show up, either text or email each other...Best of luck to you!

What?????? congrats guys!!!

Until when they opned? From Abril till ????

I cant book my yet ..

Let me know the last date please cause I cant it

Congrats, again to all of you!

Hi there Elisinha,

It looks like they only have April 23-25th available at this time. No worries. I'm sure they will open up more dates when you are ready to schedule. Best of luck to you!

Just booked APril 23rd interview!!!!! Appointments are up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there, I was also able to booked the 23rd!

Yes! Just booked my date.

Posted on their homepage: "Our system is currently experiencing technical difficulties, we are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience." Go figure...is this part of their updating the system to post dates?? Just curious if anyone has experienced this before.

Very, painfully slow. Here's hoping that's leading to good things!

You think the site is very slow from all of us refreshing every second? (the VJ effect) Oh the anxiety..we are going nuts! Haha.

Thanks for taking the initiative and emailing them, Matty's girl. Considering it's already the first week of March, and we need ~2 weeks for the medical check, I'd guess things are going to open up next week. Woooo! Good luck everyone!

Yes now we can breathe a little. Lets hope tonight!

Matty's Girl...YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just posted a rant about Montreal but this is great news! Thanks!

You're welcome, it was my pleasure! No worries it's coming Moe.

Thanks Matty's girl! I sent an email inquiring a week ago and didn't hear anything back yet. It's great to get a better idea as to when there will be appointments. Here's hoping that maybe we will have interviews by the end of the week.

I am so glad I got some sort of response. I think they are updating there servers. YAY!!

Heads up the site appears to be under maintenance tonight, and in the past, that has been a sign that appointments might be coming available. I accidentally clicked my old favorited 'book an appointment" and it says its under maintenance..... keep clicking guys this could be it.

good luck, it will happen soon.

Hi frostiana, I was just about to post about the site Maintanace...so happy it might mean they will be adding some dates! (phew) Finally lol!! *fingers crossed*

Hey guys,

Perhaps this will be helpful for all whom are waiting to schedule an interview. All we can do is be hopeful at this point.

I went last November and paid at the interview. You bring 300 and whatever it was in cash and pay at a window. If the appointment calendar is offered just get an appointment locked in and do not worry about payment. Maybe you could look up timelines for people who went in December or January and message them to see how the payment process went...

Hi frostiana,

Thank you for your feedback. I will do just that! I guess I’m just so anxious and I want to get things done already, lol. Phew…hopefully this part of the journey will end soon enough

For those who have booked recently, do we still have the option of paying at the time of the interview or have they done away with that?

Hello fellow VJers. My fiancee and I got word that our P4 was logged on Wednesday and we can schedule her interview. Now of course there are no available inteview times in Montreal. Anyone have any insight into when they will be posting more? Does it happen once a month, twice a month? Any input would be fantastic. Thanks.

Unfortunately, there are many of us waiting. The last time I saw some available dates were Feb. 10th and 11th. I wasn’t able to book one because my packet 4 was not logged in until the 17th. Just keep trying as I’m sure we will all get one soon!

Not that it means anything, but I had logged on on January 27th and appointments were available 38 days from that date. So I'd like to think another batch will open up in the next two weeks (but that's just my hopeful math, haha).

I completely understand your frustration And on top of it, it's just a poorly designed system! Bureaucracy, go figure

Hi satchmo,

This is very helpful, thank you. Do you know if it matters if under “trip purpose” I should use Permanently Immigrate to the United States (Fiance – K1/K2) or Ready to schedule. Just want to make sure I get one quick!

For everyone who would like to exchange email or text, please pm for deets.

Montreal is hopeless. I have been trying for two weeks straight and nothing. Has anyone been able to find a date recently, just to give me hope? I’m starting to believe that “There are no available appointments at this time.” will never change from my screen. Thanks guys.

Congratulations!! Happy to hear!

Thank you everyone for the feedback. You are all a blessing (: At least this puts me more at ease. I agree with the idea if anything comes up, please post here or anywhere, as I will do the same. I find myself checking every hour just to become more and more frustrated. I love that I can come to VJ and get the support needed to get through this. It is good to know others have gone through or are going through my situation. Thanks again guys…I’m sure we will make it just fine!

Hi everyone,

My fiancés pkt 4 was finally sent to him last week, but we cannot seem to get an interview, with Montreal. I did check several weeks ago and there were some available dates. I know it might take some time getting one, but I guess I just needed some piece of mind. When is the best time to check, any particular day, is there a phone number to inquire about this? My apologizes if this has been discussed before, but this is more for my sanity and in hope that we will schedule one soon (: TIA

Hi all, (so confused)

Can someone tell me if it is necessary to send in the 2 color photo's and a photocopy of the applicant’s passport along with the pkt 3 forms? Also, what is the best way to send Packet 3?

Thanks!

Hello VJers,

I was looking through the discussions, but could not really find info to answer my question. I submitted the k-1 visa in Oct 2010, but right before NOA2 expired, the fiancé and I separated. This was in June 2011 and NOA2 expired in August. We have since then reconciled and are looking to re-file. My question is can we reopen the case through NVC or consul or will I need to submit the k-1 petition all over again. Will we encounter any problems, with the petition, since the first one was approved, but we let it expire? Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

My fiancé has been in the states and we need to send packet 3 to Montreal asap. My question is can we send it via Fedex or another type of carrier service from the US or will he need to physically be in Canada to send it? I have been searching the forums, but could not find the answer. Thanks in advance!

I'm lovin' this post!

We met online in June 2009. I'm 31 and he is 25.

Congrats to you both!! We were also approved on the 8th

Congrats! I know how you feel..we were just approved as well My hun just flew in and we can celebrate together!!

Congrats to both! We just got ours as well!!
