How weird. Whenever I try and call DOS I get nothing. It doesn't ring or anything. Just silence.

Maybe they've blocked my numbah? :crying: :crying:


Are they still on Holiday? Wasn't yesterday a holiday for the United States?

Wow it has been a long time since I have posted on here. I am writing from Florida as my visa was approved last Monday and picked up on Wednesday. I have been trying to keep up with everyones posts in the last little while but it was hard to sit down and follow since I have been so busy with packing, leaving my work, my family and my friends, and finally moving to the states. This experience has been so overwhelming and emotional but as we all know the end result is worth it :). I am going to try to get on here more to try and give a bit more support for those of you still waiting for your loved ones.

I am happy to see a bunch of you with interview dates and even a few approvals! I also hope that Montreal hurries up and fires out some interview dates for those of you waiting there.
I look forward to hearing everyones interview results and wedding plans and again I am sorry for my absence in the last little while.


It's great to hear from you..and I can just imagine how overwhelming it actually is .. but you're right.. worth it. I hope everything goes well and I am glad to hear that you'll be sticking around with us even after your approval. Best Wishes!!

23 Days until our interview! :dance:


hehe good luck!!!


and yeah we put the deposit down on the receiption and made arrangements with the church and photographer and DJ and such. but... it's okay.. the wedding will happen.. just most likely not April :P..boo. It's okay though, because we do get our deposit back. I'm still hoping February might bring us something good - and we could go back to planning away.


I hope everyone has a great day today =)

I really, really hope it doesn't hold those already waiting up...but I'm glad they're trying to fast track them. I don't know what I'd do if I had to wait much longer. :angry:


I hear ya...

I'm pretty sure Kenyth and I just cancelled our April 25th wedding date..and we're not going to set any date now until I hear about my interview.

We're both bummed. :(

Yes, I agree, I am definitely glad they are doing that, it's a GREAT thing.. but yes, I hope it doesn't hold up people who have been waiting. I know there are still people from October (for Montreal) still waiting.



Also thanks for the facebook update, I'm going to put a status up regarding the deletions now lol.

I heard the US is doing this too. Something on the news last night, about 6 kids that were walked into the US Embassy and given visas right away. Didn't catch the whole story, but they were saying the US is fast tracking people in Haiti. I am glad they are doing it, but I hope it doesn't hold up people who have really been waiting a long time.


Yes, I agree, I am definitely glad they are doing that, it's a GREAT thing.. but yes, I hope it doesn't hold up people who have been waiting. I know there are still people from October (for Montreal) still waiting.

I heard something along the lines that the canadian government is going to help fast track any Haiti visa applications - which I do think is a good idea because of everything they are going through right now... but I'm wondering is that going to push our applications even further back? I hope that doesn't sound selfish to ask.. I'm just curious if I'm going to have to re-evaluate plans again.

That's strange. I thought I had you on there?? Facebook has been doing some weird things lately though. The other day, I logged on it and it thanked me for reactivating my account. Happened to a friend of mine too!



It's funny you say that - my old account got reactivated, not by me...and now I'm missing friends on my new one.. like my aunt and uncle both aren't on my friends list anymore and I thought they removed me...but theres others too..so maybe it's just been glitching on me.

USCIS received our response on January 14 and David got an email from them:

processing has resumed. :dance:

On January 14, 2010, we received your response to our request for evidence. :star:

Jenn, you will be blessed with all the little jenns & fuats that you desire.
I just want a girl because I never got the chance to have a close relationship with my mother and a mother daughter relationship is precious and therefore can't wait to have my own little girl to show her what my mom never showed me. We plan on naming her Alexis!
Kayla, I can imagine your little matthew jr w' chunky cheeks!
2 Boys Maggie??

Off topic: I'm @ work and it's so much tension because for the umpteenth time, our boss rudely annouced "no checks until tuesday!" I'm so fed up that I'm not even shaken by it because only God knows why a state owned preschool is low on funds.....
So now I have to put my cheap ticket search on hold, as Kayla would say: booh!


yes 2 boys lol.. idk why but i think they'll be easier

Our first little girl is going to be named lily. We know that for sure. I'd like to name our boy Alexander and call him Xander for short.

Krystle that sucks so bad about your check!! I guess that's why I'm glad AT&T is such a big corporation, they can't do that to us. And also, were union so they REALLY can't. Lol. Union would have their hides for something like that.

I really feel sorry for those working in the school systems. There is so many layoffs and it's hard to even get a teaching job in kentucky. Too much politics involved for me! Around here it's all about who you know if you want to be a teacher.


Lily is a beautiful name.

For a girl we decided Isabelle...for a boy he wants to name it after his father ..Mathew. I'm not sure about the 2nd boy name though.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

I did a search in the Canada forums and the police reports are good for a year. Mathews has an expiry date for a year after it was issued. So maybe things are different where you're from. :/


Okay good, they must be different than, a girl at my work just had hers done and it has a 3 month expiry.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

Somehow I missed how we got on the subject of how many kids we wanted??? But I'll give my two cents..

I would like two girls and a boy.. but given my age, one child will be miracle enough, so if I can only have one.. I would want a boy.


Well then I hope you get 3 miracles =)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
Kayla, I was just thinking of the police record check... I thought I read some where that you posted that Mathew had his done (not sure though?).. Is he going to have to get it redone now if he did? I think they want it within the last 30 days and then there is also a 3 month expiry on it (at least for Nova Scotia..not sure if Montreal is different)..

Just wanted to ask .. in case

Also DOS told me for Montreal they will be extending petitions automatically because of their backlog...though I think we both heard Montreal does that anyway without the letter requirement.

I want 2 boys and 1 girl. Boy first.

Good Morning everyone...I hope you all have a great day.

Kenyth and I are going to be talking about the wedding this weekend and it looks as though we're going to postpone the date we picked (April 25th) because of how far behind Montreal is. I am a little upset about it honestly, but I should have booked a wedding much later.

He also will be finding out today if they are sending him to Haiti to help out. He wants to go, so I hope they ship him there. They will need all the help they can get. My heart goes out to them. <3

I just read that Montreal is done scheduling for February. ..the person said they would be scheduling March the second week of Feb.

Congrats! Glad everything went well.

Krystle you are right.. anyone going through this would be exhausted. I know I am!

But, I better sit tight because it's not going to get any easier for me the next month. Kayla, remember that "pressure from home" I told you about? Well... the closer we get the worse it gets and I am just trying to sit tight and keep praying we go to that interview.

Now.. don't everyone freak out..I've been dealing with this since the day we filed, so I am BEYOND exhausted, stressed, having my days where I am ready to just say I give up... but I haven't yet, and not ready to spill the whole story yet.. but...

One day, I will tell everyone the whole story.. whether it has a good or bad ending.. but right now just pray, medidate, throw coins in a fountain, burn insence.. do whatever it is you do.. and help us get to that interview :)

We really needed a much faster interview.. but I will MAINTAIN that we were scheduled for that particular date for a reason :)

Ha.. now that I have everyone's attention you have something else to look forward to. A story.. but after February 23rd :)

So if you won't be approved today then what sense does it make to do the inetrview today? Or will you be approved pending police report and medical? I'm confused...


probably because the interview will be over instead of waiting for another date... and after its just forwarding the rest of the documents to receive the visa in hand..

good luck!

Now I'm just hoping Fernando can get everything else together before the interview tomorrow morning. THE PROCRASTINATION MONSTER IS UGLY, AND IT BIT MY FIANCE! And now I am stressed!!!!

Okay, I've been stalking the forums and although I know not everyone whos applied for a visa has registered here, from what I can see for Montreal is..

Most IR1/CR1's that have been waiting Sept-Nov.. are being taken care of for the February batch. One K1 landed in February so far. (hopefully a few more that have been waiting awhile)

I think by the looks of this, any K1 from Sept-Nov should be March scheduled... and maybe more considering it's a longer month than February.

So we may get a March/April interview date Kayla.. which is good for you because it still gives plenty of time for the June wedding =)

Thank you Karla for that info. I didn't know that.
Kjenkins86, the fact that Cuba and USA don't have normal relations kind of benefits me at this stage. Keep in mind that we don't have neither an embassy nor a consulate, but an "interest section office" only. So, in the case of us Cubans once we have the HAVANA Number we could go to the U.S. Interest Section website, print out packets 3 & 4 and schedule the interview. In my case, I had filled them out long time ago and took them to my Fiancee in December when I went to see her. So pretty much right now all she has to do is date the documents and do her medical, whci she'll have plenty of time to do before the 29 of March.


Good luck!! :thumbs:

By the way Maggie ...it's still cold in South Carolina! : (



I seemed to have missed the party last night - a lot of posting LOL.

Yeah, I heard it's cold down there still lol!! .. I just keep giggling. Since Kenyth went back to SC he's still been wearing sweaters and jackets!!

Karen - I hope you're interview goes great!! Thinking of you

Kayla - yes, yes it is because he's french canadian, and yes they are funny in their own way!

Seb928s - I am glad plans are going well =)

Jenn - LOL .. don't worry, February is coming up fast!!

Jenn: it will be okay....
I'm trying my best as well to stay positive and be thankful for what I have because things could've been worse. There are people on here whom their consulate is not very friendly.
Kayla: those are what knock me out cold. Two bottles of smirnoff ice & I'm gooooooonne!
Karen: best of luck!!
We've gotten so personal in the thread that we're now calling each other by first names... Well, my name is Krystle. (I felt slow saying that, hmmm)

He is now affectionately referred to in my family as "the canadian". They love him just about more than they love me. :luv:

I think I read a forum on this before, I'll see if I can find it, as far as I read they said you can go to the interview but you wouldn't be approved until they had the paperwork that is needed...

I'll link it if I find it

(Good luck!!)


hmm, I can't seem to find it, but I found an article that talked about taking a letter stating they will not issue the police certficiate/record to the interview with you...

Boo, Guatemala! The police there have been telling us for weeks that we would get my finace's records before the date of the interview. They just changed the law and now they are not giving police records to ANYONE until they implement some new system to prevent corruption. That starts Thursday afternoon, and our interview is Thursday morning. Now we're trying to find out if we can do the interview without the records and send it to the embassy afterwards. ugh! We were so close.

I'm starting to think you're right. I'd love for you all to get Feb interviews, but I know it isn't realistic. At this point I'm just scared to death that we wont make our June wedding. I look at all of these other peoples timelines that have been waiting for a long time and I think that it really WAS true when kjenkins, Jenn and I had the conversation about the faster the approval is, the slower your journey will be.

I need him like I need air. I want him to come home.

I guess I'm just in a really lousy mood today. His grandmother died last night and it's killing me that I can't be there. I swear, if there wasn't so much snow I would probably be on my way to him. It breaks my heart that in a time like this, we're still separated. I want to be there to hold his hand through this awful time.

Maybe I should go crawl in a hole for a few weeks. :(


I know it's hard..with the distance, but all you can do is be there for him in the ways you can - which is listening, and talking, and just being available for him. I am so sorry about the loss of his grandmother.

I called them today and they had no information for me. That seems weird what they told you since our Packet 3s were logged on the same day. Seems they should be scheduled together, you'd think.

What did you ask for when you called them? Maybe I'm saying the wrong thing.

I'm crossing my fingers for us!


Same thing I always say.. Hello, would you like my case number. She says yes, and I give it. Then she asks for my name and I give that. Then they give me the same speech your forms have been looked at - and you are eligible.

Today she said the same thing but then shes like.. oh..wait... they are sending you your packet 4 in march.

- but then when I got kenyth to call and ask about it they didn't even have that information for him lol

Maggie, that representative probably told you that because she didn't want you to call back because how would dos know what's going on @ your consulate unless the consulate gives them that info? I doubt it's gonna take th at long for you to know when is your interview. Call back and ask how do they know that!
Good luck...


Yeah it seemed weird to me too, because packet 4 also contains the interview date.. and consulate forwards that information onto DOS, so if they knew when packet 4 was being mailed..why wouldn't they know the interview date?

ahh, thanks .. I think I just needed someone else to tell me that too KJenkins! :thumbs:

I just called DOS and they informed me that Montreal is sending my Packet 4 with my interview date to me ..in March.

I'm going to get Kenyth to call back and see if we can find out if that means a march or april interview... because if it means april or later I'll have to reschedule the wedding =(

PS I am happy that I at least have a range now of when I am possibly interviewing lol..

its just so many people have to travel from different states and countries, so they need to book their vacation in advance


Kenyth called and they had no information - they didn't even tell him the packet 4 was being sent in march... hrmm..
