Sent package to Montreal...fingers crossed!!!

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years! Since I last posted, my husband moved to New Jersey and I have sold the house and moved in with my parents until my visa is approved! Just a recap for everyone, I had my interview in August and was denied. Sent in passport (long story, but officer at consulate phoned me and said there was a mistake and to send in passport for visa), 3 weeks later passport sent back to me and this time they asked for proof of domicile. Sent in the package with a lot of info and 9 weeks later I was denied again with message "AMCITS must return to USA and re-establish domicile". So, even though husband was only visiting and had no status here, he found another job, accepted it, moved to a new state (New Jersey), rented an apartment, and started a life down there. Meanwhile, I'm up here with kids, sold house faster than expected with turbo fast closing date, living with parents now and just WAITING. So, today I sent in hopefully my last package. The package included: a cover letter from me with what I am sending, a letter from my husband, employment contract and employment pay stubs, apartment lease, storage unit lease in NJ, day care/school letter we got from NJ daycare saying that they would have room for our kids if/when we move down there and that's it. So I hope that this is enough! What do you guys think??? Keep me in your prayers....and hopefully my family can be together again soon.

It's enough.

Hope they are speedy at issuing the visa!

Wow, so many changes in your life! Your husband now living in the U.S. should be the missing link that was needed at Montreal. So sorry you've had to go through all of this. Living with your parents, for the kids anyway, will be fun for awhile! Hope you hear something very positive soon!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. It's been very hard on us and yes even though I'm living with my parents, it will be a great time for the kids to spend time with their grandparents....and they love them so much!

Since I haven't been online for a month, can anyone tell me how the timeline is going for Montreal....when you have to send additional info? I know there were a whole bunch of us waiting but just wondering who has heard, who hasn't and what time length have people been waiting? I know I read a while ago that one person actually got their's back within the 4 weeks (WOW!!), and I know another VJ'er and myself had waited 9-10 weeks back in the fall, so just wondering if it has changed.

Thanks everyone!

The most recent is MissMystery, she waited almost 2 months. Other than that I think the only other person waiting is Jonesg111 - and he still hasn't heard back - the difference with his is I think they are at a standoff.

Well...here's hoping to a short wait AND an approval!! Why is Jonesg111 at a standoff? I'll try to research it here to find out, but if you have time let me know what going on there....is it the same situation as mine??

Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and prayers!

In a nutshell they tried to prove that his wife was in Canada only temporarily - that was a no-go. They sent in further information - denied. They have now contacted their U.S. representative (senator or congressperson - I forget). The reply they got back from MTL is that they are waiting for more information.

So no, not really the same as yours as Jonesg is sticking it out - he isn't going to return to the States to get domiciled. He's really the only one of the denials sticking it out - I wish him tons of luck!
