CanadaMontreal: "There are no available appointments at this time"

 
I have also been checking daily... but if the interviews go very quickly, I guess it can be in a few hours - so if i check at 10AM and interviews come up at 2PM it means I could be missing the only window in weeks! ClockWatch2.gif  This is dreadful so again, I suggest we all try to let everyone know when things move! heart.gif



I'm so sick of waiting now. It's too long. ??????

I got the same problem. I've been waiting for almost 1week already. Not sure if I should go for medical check up now while I have no idea when my interview date is gonna be yet.

CanadaMontreal: "There are no available appointments at this time"

So I am finally at the place in the process where I can book my interview and medical (Montreal, Canada), and of course the website repeatedly gives me the message "there are no available appointments at this time", with no info on when to check back or when the next block of them is for.
 
Any tips on booking one?  Do they come open in blocks, and how far out do they book them, months, weeks?
 
Is it pretty easy for out-of-towners to get their medical appointment close to their interview?  I sure hope so, I don't want to go to Montreal twice.  Luckily it's not far (I'm in Ottawa).
 
Thanks for any info anyone has.

CanadaPlanning to cross the border by car from Toronto to US

One requires a compliance letter from Toyota, check inside ur driver side door or the engine area, as there may be a sticker saying it is compliant.  Some manufacturers don't or won't give u a compliance letter.  When u call up Toyota, ensure u have ur VIN # handy, as they will ask for it.
 
A list of all ur contents, doesnt have to be complicated, can group things togther (ie clothes, electronics...)  Many times they don't even look at it.
 
Many people try and get into the USA ASAP--cheaper gas!!




Thanks for your advice. I'm just a bit confusing a bit the compliance letter and the sticker of compliance. Are they the same? Do I need to have either one of them? I meant, if I have the sticker at the door, do I still need to call up Toyota for a letter? If so, what happen if Toyota don't want issue the letter for me?
( I will call up Toyota on Monday . I just need more advices for now.)

Thanks

CanadaTwo questions about K1 VIsa

 
Congratulation!
 
We sent our case one month later than yours. Last week we just got the approved notice from California Service Center ( the same as yours:). Now I am waiting for my P3 and then going to book the interview and medical examination.
 




Thanks.
If you already get the case number, you can just get P3 online. Here http://photos.state....ket3-k1-mtl.pdf

Don't wast your time to wait for it. They will send to you by mail, but it's gonna be too long to wait or you just wasting ur time.

I was waiting for P3 for 3 weeks too, then I got suggestions from people to do like I said above. After 2days submitting p3 online, I received p4 in my email. Guess what, it was about 2weeks after I received my P4, the mail of P3 just arrived. Lol

Once you get p4, u can move to the next steps.

Good luck.

CanadaTwo questions about K1 VIsa

Newbie here. My fiancé and I sent our K1 visa application last December. I have some questions about the visa procedure. Luckily I found this site last night.
 
The first question is about medical examination. According to P4 introduction, I should bring my vaccinations record to the doctor. Unfortunately I dont have the required record, and so I am thinking to get them at some travel clinic before the medical examination. Based on the information I have collected, I should have MMP, TDAP and Chicken Pox for my age range. I am also confused about how many shots I should take for MMP and TDAP. For MMP, it seems that I should have two shots. And for TDAP, is one shot enough? Or I should wait for at least four weeks to have another shot.
 
The second question is about the timeline of K1 visa application. I read one post and it said that it might take 12 months or longer for no non-Canadian citizens to get the visa issued by Montreal consulate. Is this true, or just case-by-case? The post sort of scared me. For my case, I am not a Canadian citizen. I am holding work visa now.
 
I would really appreciate your any suggestion or advice! Thank you all in advance!







I'm not Canadian citizen, nor PR. I'm holding student permit and work permit.
We sent out the package start from Begining of Nov 2013. I just got the K1 visa approval 2 days ago in Montreal. I could have done everything since the first week of March which was even earlier then my actual date.
It did not take that long. If I'm not wrong, started from Oct 7, 2013, everything goes pretty fast as they have changed their systems to be in electronic way.

As long as you got all the documents as they require, everything should be fine.

Don't remember what it/they're called. Dude, I could do a search, or you could do a search. I prefer that you do it.
 



I did do the research, but I only found compliance letter is the important thing.

Btw, I wanna ask you something marriage in LA.
What are the steps? How long does it take to get marriage certificate to submit to immigration for changing the status? Which place can we go ? Any appointment require for marriage?

You'll need some paperwork to import your car. Do a search on the forum for all the info.


I knew there will be a compliance letter from the car company needed. Any other documents, I'm not sure. I'm still searching around for info.

Please advise .

Thanks.

I think everyone goes into AP, gives them time to double check, print the sticker and send out your passport. I'm in AP right now but I assume based on what the interviewer told me that it should be done and issued sometime this week.


You should be getting ur passport back on Friday.

CanadaK-1 Visa Packet 4 - How long will we have to wait to receive?

We sent it over email as well as a paper copy.  We have a lawyer, he said it usually takes about 6 weeks processing time once they received the Packet 3.  So right now we're just waiting basically.


Mine was only 2 days after submitting the package 3.
You can schedule the appointment after you receive pck 4. Then u can go ahead for medical exam.

Yes, the first 2 anyway.  The 3rd you will have to do at POE as it's a mystery what goes on it.


Thank you so much for your info. I was kinda frustrated when I was looking at the 3rd. It's kinda weird form I have ever seen and got no idea what to fill up.

Save this one for the border:

Make sure the VIN is on all 3 forms, you will take these forms to the DMV to register your vehicle after CBP approves them.







Can I download those forms and fill them up in advance? Or they will provide us the forms with special paper other than our regular sheet?

CanadaCrossing the border at Detroit with Car.

 

To import my car I brought the compliance letter from Toyota and then a copy of my insurance and registration with the VIN# on it.  It's also a good idea to bring an estimated value of your car- they won't charge you anything to import it but they wanted an idea of the value for their paperwork.  I used Kelly Blue Book.  I think that's all..... the other forms they will have there for you.

Thanks for your advice. is there any custom forms which i can fill them up in advance? so will not get stuck there (POE) for too long?

The p4 tells you how to set up your appointment. Here is a snipet from our p4.

 

Schedule your visa interview appointment

Please visit http://canada.usvisa-info.com/ to obtain information online or via telephone concerning scheduling an interview appointment for you and those family members included in the petition. If you have not previously registered your information and selected a Loomis/DHL courier location on this website, please do so now.

 

You must have the Passport Number, Date of Birth, Nationality, MTL case number, and visa category for each applicant (principal applicant and all family members, including children) ready in order to access the website. When prompted to select ?Trip Purpose?, you must choose ?Permanently Immigrate to the US.? After entering your information, you will be prompted to select an appointment time for you and your family.

I did go through that, but when i came to one step it asks me to add family members while i don't have anyone who is going with me. What should do? I can go all the way to the schedule my appointment. Please help.

CanadaWaiting for Package 3 from US consulate in Montreal

It's my first time here. I am not sure if it is the right to ask for helps / ideas regarding K1 visa processing in Montreal, Canada. 

 

On Dec 31, 2013 my fiancé received a letter from U.S Department of Sate Bureau of consular Affair.

In the letter said, " NVC received your fiancee's approved I-129F petition from USCIS......, with the case number and other related information". 

 

I checked the status online base on the case number, i found the status stated as " Ready".

Case Creation Date: 24-Dec-2013 Status Updated Date: 13-Jan-2014

 

However, i have been waiting for package 3 since then till now (Feb 5, 2014)ClockWatch2.gif , there is nothing sent to me. And I have no clue how would it take to to wait for that package. Or do I need to just download package 3, fill up and submit it by now? 

 

Please help. crying.gif

I think my I-94 expires I believe May 31st. But I still haven't received my marriage certificate and I need that to file. So you're saying that I'm fine with filing it mid June?


Just make a phone call to the country court where your submit for marriage certificate. Just ask them if they have registered it yet. If they said yes, just go pick it up. That would be faster than waiting for the mail from them.

We got married on April 22, 2014. We already got our M. Certificate on May 5,2014.

Those boxes are for actual deportations. . .and other punitive actions. Excluded/Deported can be at the border, deportation can be an order in absentia or that you attend, judicial proceedings can be whether you win or lose, they still want you to acknowledge it happened. I would have to research "rescission" but it sounds painful.

I'm glad to hear that! I think that even if they would ban you they would write it somewhere right? Only think I don't understand is the 212( a ) code! Because there are not other letters or number after it? does it mean just deny entry then? OMG! So worried!

FORM (235(b )(1)) is usually used for voluntary withdrawal of an application for admission. Are you sure there's nothing more written in your passport?

Yes, on my passport the only stamp I have is the WITHDRAW on top of my B1/B2 visa with code 212(a)...I look over and over again but there is nothing more and that form is the only one I got! They also said to me same thing they said to Alexandra...was more in the States than my own country!
