CanadaNo problem

Lucky you being able to wait together, I'm glad there was no problem at the border.

K1's do not fill out the DS230 part II, that's for immigrant visas only.

Have a nice stay :)



Hi Riblet thanks for the kind words and the info on the DS230 part II one less thing to be concerned about lol
It'll be a lot easier now, waiting here

Allie and Lorry

Glad you made it there. :)

You don't need to fill out DS-230 Part II, just DS-230 Part I.

Return that and your checklist (and whatever else they need now) as soon as possible because Montreal is still horribly slow!

ETA: nevermind, you already returned packet 3. ;)



Thanks Misa Yeah I'm in the waiting game now packet 3 is gone :)

CanadaNo problem
Hi all just wanted to let everyone know I made it here to WA. to wait out my interview time with Lorry.
I had no problems going through US Customs and Immigration. They asked the usual stuff "where you going, for how long, what do you do for a living, ever been to the US before and when"
I was a bit concerned they would question the length of stay ( 2 1/2 mon. ) It didn't seem to be so much of a big deal afterall. I'll be here in WA. till May 12. Hopefully Montreal will have something for me by then.

While I am in here I do have a question I'm wondering about. Does the form 230 part 2 come with packet 4 or do I have to download it ? I did get a form 230 part 1 with packet 3 but no part 2 form

Take care everyone good luck Thanks
Allie and Lorry

CanadaDriver's License information for all states
Hey good site thanks. I read for WA. it says need to present Social Security # as one of the regulations. Wonder if that means I'll need a job before I can get a drivers license.

Canadamontreal: what to bring
Sorry if I left you confused even more. I forgot to put the K behind the DS- 156 form I still have with me

The duplicate forms I filled online and sent were the DS-156 sent with pics attached

The form I still have and bring unsigned on the interview day is the DS- 156K

And Mo states it would be wise to have copies of everything with you
AllieNot TellingCanada2007-03-25 09:36:00
Canadamontreal: what to bring
When I sent my packet 3 back in Jan. I had to send the completed 230 form, the checklist along with duplicate DS-156 filled out online and include my 2 pics attached to each one of em.
The DS -156 is still here with me I bring that unsigned on my interview day they told me
Maybe they have changed things again because I was at the time of sending mine confused about the pics attachedor not
As previous to that time people were required to have 2 passport pics on the day of the interview .
I called and they told me send them attached as requested along with the other forms mentioned
I Hope this is of some help to you

CanadaPlanning your life around Montreal
How true. So far we've experienced most of what you say in this process They are as rude and non caring at Montreal as USCIS personnell are on that check status # they have listed.
Must be part of the job qualifications in order to work at those places

Another thing would be:
Brush up on your classical music listening because you get to hear lots when you do call

CanadaHow long...

You should be able to see that info in reading people's timelines. Mine took 5 days weeks from NVC to Montreal for mine and I think then 4 days for packet 3 to come It's all listed in my timeline

I'm sure it'll all work out for you and your Wife, but it does suck having to wait longer because of someones ignorance
I'm also hoping that ignorant lady gets what's coming to her.

CanadaMy Interview at Montreal on Friday, Apr 13th
I think they should be complained about to whom ever thier supervisors are. As long as there is no feed back about thier ignorant attitudes they'll just continue on unknowingly to the powers that be

Yes, shoe removal is the policy at airports in Canada too. At some so is the removal of hats and yeah in Canada the people scanning seem to be a bit more happier and tolerant

CanadaMotels in Montreal
I've made many trips to Montreal over the yrs. to watch hockey games
The past 5 years I stayed at Tour Centre Ville on Rene' Levesque Blvd.
Only minutes from the US Consulate
Last time I stayed it was $97 but that was last yr. in March and was probably an off season rate.

AllieNot TellingCanada2007-04-19 11:45:00
CanadaPacket 3
Yes they have thier own forms in packet 3 that they want sent back
In Jan I was informed by them to fill out and send back : the checklist, the DS 230 form,

DS156 forms which isn't in the packet but is done online then 2 copies printed with the bar code that comes after entering it. These DS156 forms are taken to the interview

The DS 156k form they sent I still have and take with me when I go. It's filled out but has to be signed in front of them

They also included an I-134 form to be done 3 copies to be notarized and signed. These are also to be taken when the interview happens
Lorry had done up and had the I-134 notarized before we received the packet 3 . After reading on here that they were picky about using thier forms we did another 3 with the form they provided

They explain it all in the cover letter. I also was told to send my 2 passport pics attached to the DS-156 forms
Seems they are changing all the time. I wasn't sure on the pic thing and was a bit confused, so I called and was told "yes send them attached read the instuctions we sent in packet 3"
They are so proffesional at that place lol lol

No, they're not on strike at present. The Union is threatening that a mail strike could be a possibility in the future. I was wondering if anyone else heard this in Canada
AllieNot TellingCanada2007-04-18 11:57:00
CanadaAnybody else hear this
Hi all, I'm here visiting Lorry in WA. since Feb. I have my brother in-law checking my mail at home in N.S. for my interview letter
To-day in an email updating me on what mail I have he was saying there is talk of a possible upcoming Postal strike looming in Canada.
Has anyone else in Canada heard anything on this. Don't get much Canadian news issues here in WA.

Thanks Allie
AllieNot TellingCanada2007-04-18 10:26:00
CanadaThere is no god!!!!

Not related to Tims----last yr in BC a group of A&W restaurant workers won the lottery, something like $15 million. The hiccup was that there were 1 or 2 that occasionally played, but during that weeks lottery, they didn't pay (thus play) so when the group won, those that had not paid, tried to lay claim to their share. Anyone hear the outcome of that? last I heard that the ones that did pay got their share, but it was based on as if everyone had payed. So, the unpaying peoples share was put into a court orderd trust, until it could be decided. Never did hear the verdict.



Yeah Flames last I heard that was going to be tied up in court and they wouldn't let the money be released to the winners.
The group had a Lawyer who in an interview played the Lortto 649 advertisement where they say" you can't win if you're not in". He was showing since the other few weren't in that draw the advertisement itself claims you can't win if not in
I haven't heard any thing more on it though
