I'm approved! So happy... after 4 months of waiting our I-130 is finally approved!!! I'm so glad!!
Ok so now I need to focus on James' shortcuts? Can someone (perhaps bradyvicky??) who has just finished their I-130 case help me? Before I was approved, I scanned James' shortcuts briefly but I was totally confused..

I'm currently in Vancouver and as I have seen discussions from before, I guess Vancouver does not process I-130?? I guess I will have to go to Montreal huh?

Anyone with any information to follow that'll be great!! I guess the first thing that I can do right now is get my police report?

Congrats on your approval. Sorry, can't offer specific Vancouver help but yes, definatey go ahead and get that police check done. Take a look at all your paperwork too - make sure you have everything you need so you can get moving on the next step of the process.

Is the police report valid for 6 months or one year? I was trying to remember - because if it's only 6 months, then it's possible it might take that long until your interview (not to be a downer!! sorry)... but NVC stage often takes 2 months or so, and then Montreal is averaging 4 months or so. Maybe it would make sense to wait a little bit -- that is if the police report is only good for six months, otherwise, just ignore me

A fellow VJ'er asked Mtl,and they stated the police report was good for 1 yr. All cr-1 (ir-1) intervies are completed in Mtl

Good to know! Thanks
