I-130 VISA interview set for Montreal
Just thought I would let you know the exciting news. Yesterday I received a
letter informing me that November 14th will be the date for my visa
interview. Yippee!! I just wanted to let you know that! The petition was
originally filed back on January 5th, 2002.
Thanks for the advice over the past year!
Sincerely
Wes Newcombe
PS Will let you know how the interview goes!

Re: I-130 VISA interview set for Montreal
Sorry I haven't not responded until now. A getaway weekend with my wife to
celebrate the nearing of the end of the immigration process.
To further clarify my posting last week, I am a recipient of a US spousal
visa sponsored by my USC wife. I have been fortunate to have my wife living
with me in Canada during the entire process and have not been separated from
her unlike many of those who I have learned about here in this forum. We
life on a border city (Windsor, Ontario across from Detroit, Michigan).
During the entire process, I have crossed the border some 40 times without
hassle but I believe that our plates and car have been well established as
frequent crossings and not a risk of immigrant intent. In fact, there were
two occasions where my passport information and name was typed into the
computer (one of which was a month ago) without any further questioning, but
wishing me a good day.
As for the timeline in our situation, please find it listed below: (copied
and pasted from Computer file)
DATE INFORMATION
01-June-2001 Mailed out UK police certificate application
05-July-2001 Received UK Police Certificate in the mail - Clean record
Actual Timeline Begins
05-January-02 Mailed off I-130 petition via Priority mail with sign.
confirm.
09-January-02 USPS confirms delivery to INS box (online tracking number)
24-January-02 Received first NOA in the mail
22-May-2002 NSC automated message confirms that our petition is approved
07-June-2002 Received 2nd NOA in mail after coming back from Vacation
23-June-2002 Received 1st NOA from NVC including Choice of Agent form
25-June-2002 Wife received from NVC the I-864 / A package & checklist
29-June-2002 Mailed off DS-3032 priority mail with delivery confirmation
01-July-2002 NVC received DS-3032 (Choice of Agent) in the P.O. box
16-July-2002 Mailed off I-864 / A package priority mail with delivery
confirm.
18-July-2002 NVC received I-864 package and $65.00 fee
23-July-2002 Received 2nd letter from NVC (DS-230 Package)
31-July-2002 Mailed off DS-230 Part 1 with fee ($335.00) (priority mail)
02-Aug-2002 NVC received DS-230 package
23-Aug-2002 Received RFE on I-864A (NVC made an error-called to confirm)
24-Aug-2002 Returned RFE with explanation (included supervisor name of
individual I spoke with who confirmed that it was their error)
30-Aug-2002 NVC receives the returned RFE (mailed from Canada)
15-Sep-2002 Received a new RFE on DS-230 Part 1(I messed up a date of where
I was living - I was ticked off on myself for this error)
16-Sep-2002 Sent Correct RFE and mailed DS-230 Part II as requested
24-Oct-2002 Received Visa Interview appointment at Montreal (Nov 14/02)
05-Nov-2002 Medical Physical for US Visa to be conducted in Windsor, Ont
14-Nov-2002 US Consulate in Montreal Spousal Visa Interview
I figured that because of the two RFE's (one of which was NVC's error), the
whole process could have been done in two months. Instead, the whole process
started Jan 5/02 and will hopefully end Nov 14/02. Good luck to all those
who are going through the visa process whether fiancée or spousal. Thanks
for all the advise given to me over the many months of posting. I will be
certain to let you know the results of the interview and the eventual POE
entry. Take care!
Sincerely
Wes

Re: I-130 VISA interview set for Montreal
I butchered my posting with a lot of gramatical errors. Thats what I get
for not proofing it before I mailed it off.
The last paragraph I mentioned that the whole process would have taken two
months if I hadn't received two RFE's. It should have read that I believe
the whole process would have taken approximately 9 months instead of 10
months from start to finish.
Sorry for the confusion!
