Montreal Interview Tracker -- Part DeuX [Ara2000, AttaBoy, CDN_CPER, Dongky, Enduring, GC Indian, Ja

$12 is a good price. I am not sure I\'ll get it in Philly area.

I have an impression there are more than one kinds of photos required. Can you tell me what they are called, how many for each?

Thanks.
 
Attaboy>>>>>>

The operator said that the next step is to send for the visa number and then they will send the P4 to attorney some time during the first week. I will update as soon as I hear some thing...
 
Only one kind of photos

As far as I know, there is only one kind of photo involved. We supplied four at the time of interview, and one for the medicals to Panelphysicians. NVC will provide you the specifications in Packet 4. These are the same specifications that INS provides for AOS applicants. (At the time of your interview, the person who checks your documents may trim one photo.)

Call your local INS office and ask for photo shops. They might recommend some.
 
Congrats gcdrone

Just a quick question for PCC from canada. What information is required at the local police station (passport, I-94 etc)
 
Thanks!

Thank you very much for the information. It\'s very helpful.
I would like to have my physicals at Dr. Howard Seiden in Toronto too (reason: same day result). But it seems they only do physicals on Mon., Tue, and Wed. I called them for making an appointment but nobody picked up the phone so I had to leave a message. You know, I have my interview scheduled for 4/18, just wondering if I can set my physicals on 4/15 - is it too late?
Again, thank you very very much. Last but definitely not the least, congrats to your success in GC... and enjoy...
 
Children At Interview

I had heard and wonder if anyone can confirm that children under 12 do not have to be present at the interview. If this true it would sure
be easier than trying to entertain small children for hours at a time.
 
Re: charlesL

Many people have reported getting their medicals done just before the interview, so doing them 4/15 for a 4/18 interview isn\'t too late. Just make sure that the doctors can accommodate you on your preferred day.

We decided to get them done a few weeks in advance so that we would have some time to take care of any issues that might arise.
 
Re CGM:

I saw a family with two kids under twelve appear for the interview. At times, the consular officers have used their discretion to let the kids stay in the waiting area. The kids do need to come to the consulate when they are included as dependents. (Don’t know about kids who were born in the US and are US citizens by birth.)

As an aside, food is permitted in the consulate, especially for kids. Although the security officer didn’t let us in with our drinks, they allowed packaged items – cookies, doughnuts, chips, pretzels, etc.
 
question for gcDrone regarding immunizations

gcDrone, we\'re headed up to Montreal for visa processing in April. On the Seiden website, we reviewed the immunization requirements for ages 18-64 and went to our physician to ensure compliance. However, in the State Dept. instructions for medical exam, they list other immunizations like hepatitis B, influenza, pertussis which were not listed in the list on the Sieden website. Did you end up getting more immunizations than you expected?
 
Re: jeff23

For adults (18-64), the following immunizations are required:

- TD
- MMR
- Varicella

A verbal declaration for Varicella will suffice. If you haven\'t had any booster shots for TD and MMR, they will give you the shots at $10 a pop. We did not receive any other immunizations.

Other immunizations listed in the State Department instructions are usually not applicable to this age group. Call Dr. Seiden\'s office to confirm for your specific case.
 
UPDATE: Plastic Cards Received.

Folks,

I am happy to inform you that we received our plastic cards today. The cards were mailed from Mesquite, TX via regular mail. The processing date was 3/15. As mentioned earlier, our POE was Port Champlain, on 3/9.
