Melusine how was the border crossing, did they ask you anything about your application in process? I'm getting nervous I'm meeting my honey in Florida next month for a vacation!


Jill, I visited Nick just over a month ago and had no problems.

I went through the peace bridge. I brought all sorts of evidence with me, letter from my employer, pay stubs to prove I worked there, bank statements, credit card statements. The officer didn't look at any of it.

I told him truthfully I was visiting my fiance. He asked me when we were getting married. How far along in the K1 process were we. When was the last time I was down in the U.S. He even joked with my dad about getting me out of the house. It was a breeze.

Be confident and truthful in your answers, and you'll be fine.

I'm not positive but I'm thinking the train as well. It's cheaper than the bus and much more pleasant. And obviously much cheaper than flying. At that point I'll be looking at some time off so I can afford a day spent on the train as well.
Then after the interview we'll take the train together back to Toronto, and I'll help him pack up while we wait for the visa to arrive. Then we'll drive down with his stuff. biggrin.gif


That sounds loverly!!!! smile.gif
What time do they open again? LOL I'm gonna call now.

Hacking into people's accounts?
Come on.
No offense to that person that got denied but one of them must have let it slip to the embassy in some way or the other.
I've never heard of them gaining access into people's personal email accounts.

I really don't think that's the case and I don't believe they are going into people's private and personal email accounts.


you should read it...they didn't get denied for their email...it was crazier then that....the guy spelled his name wrong or something stupid...anyhow..she said their file was 3 inches thick and she saw stuff that only existed in her email account...check it out...."I aint lying!"


I know, I read it a few days ago.

I think she may have been mistaken with what she saw....again, no offense to her whatsoever I just don't believe they do that.

I feel like crying constantly.

Ugh, I HATE having time off and either we can't get together for work reasons or b/c tickets just cost too much. It feels so wasted.
Is your birthday over Memorial Day weekend?

I hope we have one of those super exciting days or couple of days where a whole slew of us are scheduled (which sounds likely that that's how they work it).

I think I am just feeling extra bummed b/c Scott just left. sad.gif I would be happy if this ends up being our last visit b/c the next one is in Montreal.

I'm MTL2008 as well


Hello Everyone,

According to our lawyer in LA and our Congressman the interview process is unlike the petition process ie. priority dates. The interviews are filled in batches ie. Monthly. So depending on the numbers one could have sent in packet 3 a month before the other but their interview dates could technically fall on the same day.

Until there is enough of us to fill up the month they won't issue interviews thus the inactivity for some Feb/Mar/Apr couples waiting for dates.

Here is the part that sucks...the later into spring/summer we go with no dates the longer the wait times get due to "holidays". In the spring/summer the number of interviews they book per month decreases by almost half due to understaffing.

Anyhow....we are farther along then most....keep calling....sooner or later everyone will get their day!

Good Luck

I hear ya laura. I haven't seen Jeremy since January and it's so hard. This was a difficult week for us and I have been really depressed.
I'm so beyond sick of waiting and I don't have much to keep my mind off it now. In fact it's really hard to concentrate on doing anything because
all I can think of is going to get this interview over with. I don't even want to try to distract myself anymore, it's baloney. You guys are all lucky that you can each still go both ways (us/canada). It's been on me for almost an entire year to do the traveling and I can't anymore ($$/vac days).
Bleh.

I think it also had to do with the fee increase in July. Just bad timing.
Everything happens for a reason and happens when it's suppose to.

June or July??? #######??? An entire year for a K-1 is just unreal. I realize it probably wasn't going to happen in May anymore but July is when we filed last year. I just can't believe this. I sure hope you're right Rae that they're over estimating the time. I mean geez someone just got May 20th recently, how can they have filled up an entire month or more in a week?

I feel the same.
So I'll hold out on a little hope that there are still early June and mid-June slots to be filled, and that we all get one.
I agree, an entire year is stupid. Especially when others wait far less and there is so much inconsistency. As Rob&Jin pointed out in the other thread, "only" 5-6 months behind the first people who started getting their visas.


I don't know why things went the way they went.
You guys filed in July.
I filed in December and I'm in the same exact spot as you now.
I feel very lucky and almost like I don't deserve it yet.

I wish you both a very soon interview date, stay strong. You will be with your sweetie's!!!!

This is completely my own opinion, but based on what I've read here, MTL tends to say it will take longer than it really does. They were still telling our lawyer 4 months around March and they've been scheduling in 2 - 2 1/2.
Laura, at least they emailed you back. They ignore me. cray5ol.gif
Bastards. ranting33va.gif

Or maybe I'm just in denial b/c I will be really really upset on many levels if I have to wait till July. In my heart, I feel Scott will be here in June.


Keep on believing!!!

I was SHOCKED they emailed me back just now..I only mailed them literally like 4 hours ago.
I'm sorry they ignore you.

I hope you guys will be together in June too. I have a feeling we will have an early to mid June interview too. I hope to be in the States by late June to early July. smile.gif If it doesn't happen, it doesn't....Nick and I will be together!!! star_smile.gif
