Today my visa was approved. Thank you to the VJ community for your help. I followed Saylin's pictures and members' WIKI and all went smooth, needless to say I was a wreck. I drove to Montreal from Ottawa yesterday, picked up my results from Medisys, and stayed at the Philips Square suites. A little pricy but very close and they put my bags in my car and charged me one day parking $22, good until 2pm today. I also ate in, as there is a kitchen in the room. I went to the embassy at 6:50 because I could not sleep or eat, so why not. My appointment was for 10 am. Disregard the time, just go. At 7:30 there was quite a line up. I was first, I had to show my passport,Loomis letter, and appmt letter to the greeter and then through security. I had a teeny purse, and my docs in clear plastic folders. No keys, no phone. They did turn people away in line that had bags, and they took keys to be returned later. I was through and down the stairs and sat as close to the elevator as possible. At 8 am they just called out , "go to the 19th floor". I was first in and to the back and left, and first to the reception. #1 and then waited a little. The first window took a little longer because I had to submit all my original docs. Then I sat and waited. The interview was the usual, where met , how long known, and he asked how they knew my husband was where he said he was. Fortunately I has a copy of his driver's license. Make sure you have copies of everything to hand to them. Then he said the magic words, and I thanked him and cried. By this time the place was bedlam. It was 9:30.
I am over the moon.
