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

I would, because if you can knock your trip down even by 2 days that would help you out money wise a lot. The other place can get them to you in 2 days, but it's 60 bucks more, which would STILL pay for an extra day at the hotel you found.

It would be very weird to me if Medisys got him his in 3 days, but took longer for yours.

Oh, and remember. The HPV vaccine is no longer required so you wont need that.


thanks, yes.. I was jumping for joy when the article came out.. I'm one of the ones that said I wouldn't be taking it even if it was still a requirement :P

I have been pushing my doc for my vaccination list. I have all my shots up to date, even the tetanus one...just need the damn list from him.

- I called the other place they still don't know if their doctor will be available but if they are I can have April 5th.

Medisys needs 3 full business days................ my appointment is on the 8th. In order to get my results by April 7th at 12 noon - I need to have an appointment April 1st.

Well I'm sure Mathew was off by 2 dollars, so the $215 was right on that part. But when he did his they told him 72 hours. As long as you have your medical 4 days before your interview(I wouldn't risk picking up your results the same day) I don't see a problem.


Maybe I'll call them again and check lol

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

Did you seriously already get your p4???

I HATE CANADA POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mathew still hasn't gotten his Christmas Card I sent out a month ago. His mom got hers just fine a week and a half ago. And she lives in the freaking north pole. Laval is 20 flippin minutes from Montreal and...grrrr. just grrrrrrr!!!!

He'll probably get his P4 letter the day of the interview.


F you, Canada Post. I hope someone puts wheaties in your underwear. :angry:

EDIT: After my big rant I had Mathew go check his mail. It's there. LOL. I scared them and they rushed over to put that in there!!!

And Maggie, Mathew went to Medisys and he says his medical was $213, and he got his results in 3 days. So plan for that.


lmao .. good. Yeah I got mine yesterday so I would have assumed he'd have it before or the same time as me.

I booked with Medisys.. for right now.. April 1st, 1:00pm. She told me I had to have April 1st to ensure I get the results in by April 8th Interview and that it was 215$.

I'm waiting to get in with the other place, because they only need 48 hours to get me my results, so I could book for April 5th, but their medical is 275...but I would still save money.

CanadaPrescriptions of the 'Ladies Only' kind... ifyouknowwhatimean
I did what was called the billings method.. for 10 years... without a pregnancy happening. I've never used birth control. Basically you track your cycle... (and not too get too graphic here but...) .. in order for a woman to get pregnant as you know.. she has to discharge the mucus plug..Basically this method is used to teach you how to recognize the fertile and infertile times by whats going on in your body...

good luck

For thosse of you waiting and preparing for Interviews with Montreal.. I just submitted my K1 Detailed Review of what went down. If you wanted to review it.

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL AND I can promise..the interview part is the easiest and smoothiest compared to getting all the paperwork and approvals before hand!!

Okay, guys & gals, really quick questions!

On the I-134, number 3, where it asks "Relationship to Sponsor" - in regards to a co-sponsor (which would be my Aunt), what would she put? His relationship to me (fiance), or his relationship to her (er.. future nephew?? lol)??

And it's 3 years of tax returns for Montreal, correct?


I'm not sure about the sponsor thing...

I also was wondering about the I-134 myself.. if electronic signature was allowed for it at Montreal..or if it has to be signed?

I looked into expediting but because he doesn't have orders yet I'm not sure if they can expedite. It's still not 100% that he will be going but it is like 85%. there was a possibility he would be going in April and I would have been calling and emailing every day if that were the case! Hopefully I'll have an interview date when I call tomorrow. :)


good luck!!!!

CanadaK-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal

Congrats to everyone that got a date today. By the time I got home from work it was too late to call! I will definitely be calling first thing in the morning! I was checking the forum quite a few times today. Seeing every one get their interview dates is giving me so much hope that i will be scheduled too. I was getting pretty worried. My fiance found out that he will probably be deployed to Afghanistan in August. I am glad I might be able to spend a few months with him. Hopefully we will be able to complete the AOS on time or at least not have anything for him to do as he might not be in the country!


Expedite...and I hope he is safe if he ends up going :(

CanadaK-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal

I need to take a poll please. Our original, preferred wedding date is April 9th. I'm not feeling too confident we'll be able to make that work with Montreal's scheduling situation. I already have deposits with vendors for April 9th, who will allow us to change our date and not forfeit our deposit, so long as they're given sufficient notice. If we decide to push our wedding date out, I don't think we be in any better predicament in May, or June for that matter, and I don't want to have to do this again (push our date back). I would like to know what everyone's gut feelings (obviously no one know for sure) are on August 9th. With a P3 log date of 11/25/09, do you feel that an 8/9/10 wedding date is safe? I would like to plan a date we can feel pretty darn comfortable with so our friends and family can make arrangements. Thanks for your opinions :)


I would love to know what people think about this actually, because I'm logged with a PC date of 12/09/09 .. and our wedding has deposits down for April 25th, 2010.

come february, If you don't get a March Interview, then I know I am probably not, and may not for april either so wedding would be out for April 25th, 2010 .. so Im going to keep an eye on you. :)

Good luck to you...and honestly to me August 9th sounds like plenty of time..but I am just guessing.

CanadaK-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal

I hope for your sake you get an interview. April 25 was our first date choice, but then when we started looking at how long the process takes we moved the date to June, then my matron of honor told me her baby was going to be born that day, and now our date is July 11, 2010 which I am hoping will fit in with interview process at Montreal. I am praying for expedited interviews for ALL!


Well, even if i don't end up with an interview before that, it won't be so bad. I'd really love it to work out that way and be there sooner rather than later lol.. but..everything can always be changed and adjusted =)

July 11th, 2010 sounds wonderful, I hope it works out and you have a beautiful wedding day!

CanadaK-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal

I called NVC this morning and my petition hasn't been entered in their system yet :(. I was hoping it was already there because next Monday is a federal holiday and I wanted the package to make it to Montreal when the office is open. The DHL packets of late have only been 2 pounds so hopefully they aren't getting too much new mail. There was one just before New Years was 9 pounds though.

I am praying for a July 11, 2010 wedding date. I haven't paid my deposit on the church yet but I will likely do it next week.


I already paid the deposit for my April 25th wedding.. I don't think that was smart though LOL

Oh well, we can just adjust it hopefully...

Don't be frustrated, although its hard to be patient sometimes.
Montreal was back-logged last year, but I managed to get my interview 2 months after I sent pkt 3.
I dunno if it was luck, but there is hope for anyone else waiting.


I love the support these forums offer =) :thumbs:

CanadaK-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal

hello everyone!
so i have been patiently awaiting for an interview date as well and today i got an email letter from US VISA? here is what it said and it is from Washington:

This is in response to your email to the U.S. Consulate in Montreal, Canada concerning your nonimmigrant fiancée visa application. Your email was forwarded to the Visa Office, Public Inquiries Division in Washington, DC for our response.

The U.S. Consulate General in Montreal is facing a backlog of immigrant visa cases which affects their ability to schedule immigrant visa cases. This backlog was caused by an unforeseen and unpreventable staffing shortage. The Consulate is making every effort to reduce the backlog.

The Consulate will be unable to complete your case until all the documents you were asked to collect have been submitted to them and reviewed by them. Please send all requested documents in one mailing to the Consulate. Do not request an appointment unless you have all your documents collected. Scheduling an appointment before you are fully prepared will only delay completion of your case.

For future inquiries you may contact our office directly and a Visa Specialist will be happy to assist you. You may reach us at 202-663-1225 Monday thru Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST.

Any information in this transmission pertaining to the issuance or refusal of visas or permits to enter the United States shall be considered confidential under Section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) [8 U.S.C. Section 1202]. Access to and use of such information must be solely for the formulation, amendment, administration, or enforcement of the immigration, nationality, and other laws of the United States under INA 222(f) and as specified in FAM guidance. If you have received such information in error, do not review, retransmit, disclose, disseminate, use, or take any action in reliance upon this information, and contact the sender as soon as possible.


We trust this information is helpful.



Has anyone else gotten this! I'm going to call the number because I don't want to send my originals and I haven't even scheduled a medical yet because I was waiting until the interview date. I'm so mad because I figure this is going to delay my case and I'm getting married June 12 :( Thought you all might be interested in what I got.



What did you ask them? Because to me that just seems like an automated response/reply covering all grounds as to what could cause a delay and how to reach them....

CanadaK-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal

I just made my daily call, hoping to hear something different, especially since all the CR1/IR1 February interview scheduled (congrats to you all!), but no. I was told that I was the fifth person that's been eligible since the end of November from MTL that called today. She said MTL is in such bad shape they've gone and asked Washington for help. Then she included, not with the visas of course, but with other things. She still told me to call everyday and good luck that we hear something soon. Who knows what to believe when it comes to MTL. They're in bad shape, they're really trying to get through the backlog (told to a number of November interviewees), they've hired staff, they've asked Washington for help... This is ridiculous! I am particularly frustrated that the fee increased at the consulate by so much...right in the middle of our petition. I'm sorry that I'm not all that optimistic today. Maybe tomorrow. Hopefully some of us K1ers will hear something soon.


Good luck to everyone.

I know it's been frustrating... hopefully Novembers will get pushed out with interview dates soon.

I was kind of hoping they would open up the East Coast Consulate train the staff as well when hiring the new staff for Montreal to help handle the interviews/backlog.

But I suppose since I don't work there - I don't know exactly how it works.

Hopefully it'll all clean up soon. Best wishes.

My fiance called 2 days ago. They told him that Montreal has hired and trained a bunch of new staff so they are no longer short staffed and should pick up the pace and clear out the backlog soon. *shrugs* We'll see I guess.


Heres hoping this is true... :thumbs:

He's at Cherry Point air station in North Carolina.
