Hi,

I changed from F2 to J1. After getting my Ds2019, i got a date in the consulate in Halkifax, Canada. I didnt have any problems with getting my J1 issued there, the VO juts asked which school i was going and stamped my visa with a 2 yr residency clause. The whole process was pretty easy.

Infact you can call me at 901-493-9598. or email at geetikakhare@yahoo.com .I would just want to speak once before I go to Canada. My appointment is for 8th June at Ottawa.

Geetika,
All the best for your visa interview. Could you please share your experience after your visit?
 
Its v easy

It has been a year and I am sorry I didnt post my experiences. Well, it was very easy, they just wanted to see my DS2019, my valid visa before, my MS degree for which I came to US and letter from ECFMG who are my employers. Thats all. Its a well oiled machinery as they say. The interview took less than 5 minutes. It is a fairly easy process.
