Definitely add 'Supervisor Review' as the first part of the subject line. This will pretty much guarantee it will be looked at today. Hopefully something comes of it good.gif

Saylin, I got the IE already but no invoice yet.. :crying:

my mom got the letter from NVC last feb.21 stating that they received the choice of agent. Do you think I need to write also for supervisor review? if it is, how will that works?

What? Why do you need that? Didn't you follow the email template and send that in? You are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

I sent an email with the info, but it wasn't signed, then scanned, then emailed.

I believe people have been having better luck lately scanning the form and sending it instead.

I believe people have been having better luck lately scanning the form and sending it instead.

I had the beneficiary send the email template and got a response only a day after people who sent a scanned copy. I think its the same, honestly. More of a coincidence that the second scanned "supervisor review" copy gets an acceptance quickly. It was almost exactly two weeks after it was sent. Seems to be the normal timing.

Patience, even in this stage, is a virtue.

This is why it's so much easier to just follow the email template. That way, there's no printing, no filling out, no signing, no scanning, no attaching. Just one simple email.

Oof, if only we'd had this this morning! The Mister went to the Montreal consulate for his interview and was DENIED due to lack of evidence establishing domicile in the US (never mind I showed bank records, voter registration, valid license, letters from his work/my school indicating end dates, proof of ownership of a HOUSE in the States! :ranting: Oy...oy oy oy...) I had no idea they took this domicile thing so seriously, otherwise I would have really gone all out to make sure we had our bases covered. Fingers crossed we get it right next time!

Yeah, Canada is really strict about proof of domicile. That's like the only thing Montreal is hard at. I'd suggest looking at this thread in the Canada regional forum: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/164618-proving-domicile-when-not-living-in-the-us/ It's all about proving domicile and although it may have started years ago, it's still current and has some great information (hence why it's a pinned thread)!
