Canada	Montreal Interview Experience - 10/9/07	Congrats. Thank you for the review. You have answered a question for me without me even needing to ask it. I will make arrangements to bring my 13 yr old daughter with me to the interview, whenever that may be. My daughter is not too thrilled at moving either. I'm hoping that once we are there she will realize the opportunities that have been opened up for her. Once again.... CONGRATS	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-12 05:54:00

Canada	I got a new job!!!	Congrats on the new job and pay increase .... I spent a month in Chicago with my fiance in March. He had to work and while he was at work, my daughter and I toured the area. Its tough but as Nini said...look towards the end of the road and what will be waiting there on arrival.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-16 15:56:00

Canada	NVC	QUOTE (Krikit @ Oct 16 2007, 05:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I honestly would wait to get the medicals until after you've received p3. The reason being that you need it to be current (less than 1 year old) when you apply to adjust status. Since this whole process takes a long time, you may be risking a request for a whole new medical and vaccines here in the US. Which will cost you an arm and a leg. No pun intended. LOL I think that's what I'll wind up doing cause I sure don't plan on having anymore needles	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-16 19:32:00
Canada	NVC	QUOTE (cartoboy123 @ Oct 16 2007, 08:15 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Police certificates are required for visa applicants over age sixteen and then, from every country a person has lived in...not province or city! Carla Thanks Carla.....I'm glad I don't need to get a police check for her.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-16 15:42:00
Canada	NVC	QUOTE (Nini & Bee @ Oct 15 2007, 09:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I totally understand that feeling - I used to pester Bee all the time for news. And it's Nini, everyone gets that mixed up all the time It was automatic to type Nina...but won't make that mistake again Nini....	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-15 20:16:00
Canada	NVC	Thanks Nina....I keep asking Larry daily - any mail????? Dang it all - thought I had edited the first one. Can I have our medicals and my police check done now even though I don't have anything from NVC or Montreal? Does my daughter have to have a police check done as well? She is 13. Edited by BH45, 15 October 2007 - 08:14 PM.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-15 20:10:00
Canada	NVC	Just wondering - which one of us will receive the notice that NVC has our application and is ready to forward it to Montreal?	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-15 20:01:00
Canada	Stress taking its toll	As you say, things happen for a reason. When I find things happening, without any real rhyme to them, I turn it over to God and let him carry it. He has strong shoulders and tender loving hands to hold both of you while you travel this path filled with obstacles. Trust in Him to guide you through. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Canada	Good Luck to jenmac75 & Melyssa	Wishing you the best of luck.....safe travels.....looking forward to reading about your experience	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-17 05:37:00
Canada	Montreal Review!	Congrats....MTL doesn't sound that scary....hope when mine comes along, its as good as your experience	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-17 20:01:00
Canada	Just venting	I know how you feel. We didn't have to wait for divorce papers, but we love each other dearly and being apart is tough. Keep good thoughts ... it will all come together.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-19 21:38:00
Canada	Daughter and MTL Interview	QUOTE (Udella&Wiz @ Oct 19 2007, 10:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You will need everything on the checklist for her as well.....with the exception of the divorce decrees and the Police Certificate if she is under 16. Therefore you need her: Passport Photos Birth Certificates Forms filled out for her Medical All this will be in Packet 3 so no worries. My daughter is 15.....the Dr appointment wasn't overly popular with her, but otherwise not a big deal. At the interview in Montreal - they didn't even speak to her (despite the fact that you can't miss her at 6' with masses of curly hair ) Frankly - she was just there for the electronic fingerprints and nothing more. Does anyone have the exact age when they have to attend? 14+ I think ? Kelsie is 13 ... so I'm hoping the medical will be straight forward for her. I know she won't have to have x-rays or the blood work. Will be interesting when the time comes ...	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-19 22:07:00
Canada	Daughter and MTL Interview	Hi again. I'm trying to get prepared for the interview at some point, hopefully this year. Any way, what I'm wondering is how will I know if my daughter has to come with me to MTL. She is listed on the I-129F application. I will have her DS 156 filled out. As well, she will have to come with me for a medical too, right. Thanks for your help. This site is a fountain of information and assistance.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-19 21:17:00
Canada	What Montreal said about the X-ray	I'll be taking my x-ray. I would hate for that to be the reason my visa is held up. Besides, I don't live close enough to Montreal for a quick trip - more like 14 hours one way.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-19 16:17:00
Canada	NVC and time	I just spoke to NVC and a very nice woman. She informed me of the 2 to 4 weeks it may take for them to receive the application from CIS. However, she also said it could take up to 90 days. I know it's a long process but jumping jiminee..... If you don't have patience when you start this process, you should have lots by the time its over. Thanks for letting me vent.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-24 06:51:00

Canada	Cheers!	Any comparison for liquor.... ....I'm sure my dad could have gotten better than 41 miles per gallon with liquor. He wasn't an alcoholic, but he did like to drink when there was occasion to drink.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-28 18:07:00
Canada	We are under contract! We're buying a house!	Some day, after I get to Chicago, we too hope to be able to get our own home. Till then, we'll survive in our apartment. Congrats on your new home....enjoy and may God bless it with love and joy.	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-28 18:14:00
Canada	The betting pool	ok...i'll take your bet and bet a bacon cheeseburger that our NVC notice will arrive by November 9/07. I'll if it's not here by then. Will mean I'll have to keep working into the new year.....	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-25 15:28:00

Canada	Contacting NVC	QUOTE (trailmix @ Oct 29 2007, 11:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (BH45 @ Oct 29 2007, 08:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know that most applications are taking up to 38 days to be approved. Does anyone know when the best time is to call the NVC to talk with a person and have them check manually? I appreciate the input. I have called at all different times of the day - sometimes you have to redial 5-6 times, but eventually you get through. They say early in the morning or just before midnight it's easier to get through - haven't checked that out myself. They are open from 8 am to midnight eastern I believe. Have you been trying the automated message system and found they still haven't acknowledged receipt of your file? That's what we've been doing - getting the automated system. I'll suggest to my fiance that he try early in the morning or afterhe gets home from work, before he goes to bed. Thanks, Trailmix	BH45	Female	Canada	2007-10-30 06:16:00

I met my fiance in a chatroom 2 yrs ago. We met October 2006 but were very cautious about making a commitment at that time. Once I got home, we realized that we loved each other and wanted to be together. Before making that commitment, we felt that the kids needed to meet and we all needed to spend time together. So in March, my daughter and I went to spend a month with Larry and his sons. We all found we can live together which is really good. On the Thursday before Easter, Larry proposed and I accepted. Before I left to come back to Cochrane, we had the I-129F application filled out and ready to be sent in. We have been approved and I am now waiting for the paperwork to go from NVC to the consulate. I have been reading here on VJ that Montreal is slow. How slow is slow? I would love to be able to start my new life with my new hubby for the new year. Anyone think that is possible? Oh ya - my id.

Guys, Kelly is a friend of mine from Yahoo chat, i've known her for quite some time, her and her fiance were going through the process on their own so i suggested VJ to them, i hope you will make her feel welcome! and help her out if she needs some help!
