Congrats Beauhoe!!
Any documents required other than passports and the hard copy of the email they sent us?
Dear friend,
For your appointment at the consulate, you will need:
1. Passport (s)
2. Hard copy of the email and
3. Two passport photos (can be different from the one that you provided with your application and no need to write any information on the back). This applied to all member of your family. One of the photos will be on your landing document.
The treatment was friendly. They will ask you to wait for about 10 min and then give you a document saying “you are about to get your PR visa” (smile on my face), however, we need more information from you. Just fill out the form with your first, last names, your high and the color of your eye (same for all member of your family) on the same paper. You will need two copies if you have more than three children. After you return that form, they will ask you to come back in two hrs (your case is in NY so you may take less than two hours or more, I am not sure).
Two hours later, you will be served with:
A) Your passport with the visa
B) landing document
C) A five pages doc. (information) and
D) A large envelope.
You will be asked to review the information on your landing document and your visa for mistakes (in my case none).
While reviewing my information, I was asking myself: why do we have to wait for so long if getting the visa is so simple? At the end, I feel empty with a lot of gratitude to God and all the wonderful people that I get to know on this forum.
Note: Dear friends, if you are on the waiting list please do not panic, be calm, pray and enjoy other thing in your life. Your turn is just a centimeter away.
Cheers,
