Wooohoooo you guys are on your way!!! Congrats!

Thanks

I just wish I could cheer for you guys as well.. like Rachel once said (I believe it was her but I might be wrong), it feels kinda weird to cheer while knowing theres others still waiting for their NOA2.. guess it is a bit mixed feeling :/

Hi again Cecile and Bryan, yes its strange...but its foreign beauty thoug...lol..joke..just try to give you at least smile... we need to smile sometimes for this kind process...well, so far if i checked online our case in uscis its says same thing that they forwarded our case in NVC, and my Fiancee on the other world already got our approval of Notice in mail like 3 days after we knew online our approval, so now, were still waiting i hope not for nothing, and i did call nvc twice already but same thing happen, they dont have still our case number, so im just wonderin how that happen since most of january filer here already had their???..hmmmm...strange..really...
Lets hope and keep on Prayin, we got our case number soon......

USCIS processings are quite random. they don't approve petitions in chronological order, I wouldn't be surprised if they waited longer to forward some petitions to NVC. But I would still call USCIS, to know if they really forwarded it or not, and when. I don't want to scare you, but I have read about people whose case was lost by the post office between USCIS and NVC.

I hope NOT!!!! whewww....amazing ordeal for us....i will try to call uscis then, maybe today, but uscis says, they already forwarded our case in NVC last May 29.....hmmmm.....nvc where are you?...

why dont we ask for Igors list to make a table for after NOA2 received, and timeline we got out case number....??? that may sound helpfull...

At the same time, I also remember people saying it took almost a month for their case to reach NVC after NOA2. that's probably going to be the case for you. Apparently you are not the only one who was approved at the end of May and who is still waiting for NVC to get the petition, so that probably means they sent them late.

you nail it there, if thats the reason then...why other can wait, i can wait too, that helps me a lot to understand, better....so far i see only 2 case here that have NOA2 and dont have their case yet, the rest.....waiting for for their GRANDSLAM....
Goodluck Cecile and Bryan im hopin the best of all...

Thank you

YOUR WELCOME....

Hello Justin, I'm glad you could join us. You're right, this forum is a life saver. I'm hoping that you receive your approval soon. We all need to move to a higher plane of existence - namely the NVC.




Congratulations - I've been off for a few days, and happy to see such good news!

I'll fix up the new list tonight and post it - been a bit busy lately..... damn brits

Just for an update, i just called USCIS and i ask about my case, the lady that i talk too jsut told me to call NVC, they ddnt give me any hint when or they already forwarded my case in NVC, but shes nice and accomodating....still here...

Good morning all Congrats to Lucie and Damon on the NOA2 Welcome Justin Really good news from the ENT Andrea! Glad it was nothing serious..... If you received your NOA2 then CSC is done with your case and you should call the NVC... They can give you your new case number and tell you if its been mailed out to the consulate yet

hi Levi_Heather...thats what ive kown so far...if you see my timeline, i already call nvc twice, last week and today, but nothing new...still thye dont have our case number from uscis....

Are you calling 1-603-334-0700? Seems like it would have been long enough for them to receive it by now....

yes i did call that number, i call this morning my time here in Philippines, i call like 11:30 am here which is its 11:30 pm in nvc......it took me only like 4 minutes to get hold the operator, just patience......and of course money...waaaaa....expensive calling international and make me wait.....

Wow I think I would call and ask what they think the timeline on that would be and request they track it if possibe? My NOA2 was after yours and NVC already received it and forwarded it on to the consulate..... But every situation is different.

i know its like case to case basis, so who knows, i mean i did my part, im really trying hard, who i can call just to get the update ncv, uscis, i try hard, and i think i die tryin.....joke......
l

im sorry its late up nite here, im goin to bed, hope theres always good news for us tommorrow..GOODLUCK EVERYONE AND GOODNITE!!!

Hmm guys... something weird just happened :S

Nothing bad... on the contrary.. I just got home and found a brown envelope in my mailbox from the consulate containing package 3 aka the information package :S

I don't get it, Michelle called NVC yesterday and they told it was sent to Amsterdam on the 16th... the envelope is stamped at the 18th..

I guess I've been totally off with the DHL but I still don't quite get it :S

Oh well, guess it doesn't matter as the most important is the envelop itself Imma check the DHL site again now tho coz I wanna know the real dates lol

Hmm.. now I really don't understand it anymore.. :S

NVC said the following:

Received June 12th
Sent June 16th

between today and June 10th there is only 1 package sent to Amsterdam, which had EXP 16 JUN 2008A as reference number, it was picked up on the 17th and it arrived today...

Then how can I already have package 3 (which has a postalstamp at the 18th of June and was delivered today)?

Hmm...maybe NVC lies just as much as CSC, only they make themselves sound LESS efficient? Or maybe they send information electronically as well so that the embassies know what they're going to receive...some wait for the hardcopies before they do anything with it...maybe Amsterdam doesn't wait. I dunno...I'm just hypothesizing.

Don't know how that happened but CONGRATS Now get busy filling it out

I agree, I doubt they're gonna let themselves sound less efficient.. like you said, I think indeed they may have send the information electronically and have the 3rd package sent to me right away... I guess I go with that explanation


lol thanks

and yeah, guess I will be filling it all out this weekend.. just read it all but I want to take my time for it so I have less chance of making mistakes

Thats so exciting! Levi still hasn't received our packet Should be anytime now.......

I have my fingers crossed for you! I hope it gets there soon!

Thanks Andrea I'm pretty sure the consulate received it on the 12th so its been a week.... Probably up to Canada Post now

Huh...well...I'll refrain from any commentary on Canada Post then.

I think so too, he should be getting it soon

Not the best I know! Although Levi had mailed a package to me back in October and didn't get it..... Didn't get it......... Kept blaming Canada Post.... Imagined it traveling the world........ Then last week I got it!!!! It had been in my apartment managers office the whole time She said it got buried on her desk so she found it when she cleaned!!!!

I would be so annoyed!! I sent a card to Dennis and a card to his mom on the same day...Dennis got his, but his mom's never arrived! Although they think his mom might have a sticky-fingered postal carrier...because they've had several greeting cards that never arrived.

Suspicious Levi was really upset because he said what if it had been something important?! He had sent pictures, a letter and a DVD... He ended up replacing the pics and DVD and bringing them when he came at Christmas so now I have two of everything! Want a copy of Trailer Park Boys Christmas special?

hehehe! At least it wasn't super important...whenever I have to send something really important to Dennis I do it through Fedex or UPS so that it can be tracked. It's just so much more expensive! Before he came out last time I sent him a copy of the entire K1 packet and a copy of the NOA1...so it was a flat, fairly lightweight package and I sent it with the cheapest Fedex option that provided tracking...it was about $50! Oh well...it was worth it...I would have just stressed and worried if we'd just been waiting for it to arrive regular post. I keep hoping that I'm going to have to get him a copy of the NOA2 for this trip

That would be awesome!! I'm hoping Levi gets packet 3 before he comes as I said before so they better get in gear!!!! Would be SOOOOO much easier to get it done together! Of course he'll still have the medical and police stuff to get done....... Does he have to mail any of that ahead of time? Can't remember...

Ditto here. Mary is coming to see us next Wed! So X fingers that she gets P3 before she leaves. I've going nuts trying to get a letter from my employer quick in case is gets here before she comes down.

My opinion is that if you are going to mail something internationally, and you want it to arrive, it had better be sent with tracking data. I sent my fiancee a letter and a t-shirt, and it never arrived, and I chose not to have the package tracked nor insured. Lesson learned.

Do you know if the NVC sent it on to Montreal yet?

I got the new job!!!!! I am so ecstatic but also nervous! My boss said to def jump for the chance and show them what I can learn and do! It is at Michigan Rehabilitative Services building and I will be the new Vocational Assessment Coordinator! Fancy title aye? Don't ask me what I will actually be doing as really don't know 100% yet haha! What is scary is they said "we want to try Stephanie until September and see how she does" so yeah basically I really need to show my stuff! My current boss said she would be happy to take me back if it did not work out though so not too worried besides of course humiliation if it doesn't work haha....I have no idea on details on when I start or pay but my boss told me several times it would "be a substantial raise" soooo I am EXCITED!!!!

Now to get approval and this would be best week EVER! haha

Just got the letter from NVC today - pretty sparse information wise - dated 6/16

"This letter is to let you know that within a week the petition will be forwarded to the appropriate visa-issuing where your visa interview will take place"

Then the WAC# and the MTL# and the address of the Montreal consulate.

I tracked a package leaving NVC to MTL on the 16th which arrived on the 18th. How can I know if it was that one or not? I guess I will have to keep checking DHL to see if there are any more packages. Once the cosulate has the package, is there any way to track it on its way here - do they use a courier or good old CanadaPost snail mail??

Carl

CONGRATS STEPH!!!!!!!!

Great news on the new job. I hope everything works out perfectly. I'm sure you'll impress them! And yes, let's add a NOA2 to this week to truly make it the best week ever!



And for our updates, I leave for Costa Rica in three days. My dining room table is COMPLETELY covered with paperwork, all sorted and covered with post it notes. I'm so nervous for the interview. I'm also stressing cause Greivin is having some trouble with the Medical. I am PRAYING things work out by next week. We don't fly home til the 5th, so hopefully things will all come together before then and we can fly home together.

I think in the long run, everything balances out. We got lucky and waited only 4 months for the NOA2, but the stress and difficulties since then have been enormous. For those of you waiting longer, I can only hope kharma treats you kindly and everything is smooth sailing once you get the approval.

I feel like I need to fall into a coma until all of this is done.

Woohoo Congratulations Sunny!!!

Well here comes Friday and another week down in the books!!! Hopefully today is the day. I wake up everyday and tell myself "THIS IS IT"!!! Come on already CSC! Good look everyone.



Good LUCK!!! Sorry.

Congrats Sunny!! Good to hear some things do go nice




And for me.. lol, I just found out that I have to write a letter to some organization which will then tell me if I can or cannot get my (own) court records... blergh.. I totally forgot I might have to ask for those, guess it sets me back for a couple of weeks :/

Guess my country is weird in this... it's impossible for me to grab my own policerecords, the consulate has to do this for me, the only thing i have to get is the darn court record

Good luck all will go great!!! Not much longer now!







Don't I hear you on this one! UGHHHHH



Ughhh how annoying! But I bet you will get them no problem and be on your way to your hunny!!!

I'm pretty sure packet 3 comes Canada post... Pretty sure Vancouver got ours on the 12th but Levi hasn't received 3 yet... I haven't found any info on how you could track it once its at the consulate til the packet is received or I would have already tried it CONGRATS ON THE NEW JOB STEPH

Whew, finally!

Have everything! Well, I still don't have the affidavit of support but Alex will post that tomorrow, so I'll send off Packet 3 anyway.

Received police certificate - it's the only professional looking piece of paper I have! It's in colour, has my photo on it, is on thick paper, and, *gasp*, has been signed by a real live human being in pen.

YAY

Looks like Levi should be receiving Packet 3 soon!

I hope so but he didn't get it today Hopefully before he leaves to come here on the 27th......

Hey there everyone! Well let's hope this next week brings packet 3's to those waiting and NOA2's for those of us still waiting for those too! My timeline on here says anywhere between June 19-July 4th sooooo here's hoping and praying we DO hear something by then!

Gareth and I had a rough day yesterday just both of us so irritated with this whole process and the waiting. We have not seen one another in over a year now Of course we made up and realized we should not try talking when we are both so irritated with everything haha. Today was nicer and I am just missing him like CRAZY.

I am excited to start new job as that shall help take my mind off it a little bit! No idea when I start but should be by July I would think! Hoping to find out pay and such this week eeeeeeeee so exciting!
