Hi Fellow April Filers. My file was received in Texas April 1, 2013. I have yet to receive my NOA1. I am hoping for no delays, fingers crossed. It will be sent to Vermont and my interview will be in Montreal. As you file, please join this thread. Can't wait to follow all your timelines.

I think we should be the first group to try and not complain about the rate both centers are moving at! We all know we have to wait. It's so discouraging coming on here and half the posts are people

Hi Hannah,

My application just got received in Texas today, April 3, 2013. I was wondering how you know your application will be forwarded to the Vermont center for processing? Is there any place for me to check to know where my application will be sent?

Just from researching it, my fiance lives in Virginia and Vermont is the closest centre. Texas takes the money and forwards it. If you live closer to the California one, the it will get forwarded there. (to the best of my knowledge)

I've been hearing similar stories. My fiancee lives in New Jersey, so I'm hoping it gets forwarded to Vermont as well. I wish you all the best in your application processing! Hope it gets done fast =)

So what are everyone's realistic "wish times"? I'm hoping this will all be completed in 9 months from NOA1 to visa in hand. If it's sooner, I'll be very thankful! (and secretly wishing this every day lol!) From approval at NVC to my interview is a few months...I'm hoping if I refresh every second of every day, my interview date will be sooner than the average of 3 month wait!

Hi Hannah,

I am interviewing in Vancouver, so I think the wait is slightly less, from what I have seen anyway. I am not expecting anything before December. And given it looks like my kids are all leaning towards staying with their father (thats a whole other issue), I will likely not go down till after Christmas anyway. Although I would love to get married this year, I think it will be a new years wedding. Where are you seeing the average time between NVC and Interview date?

My NOA1 date is two after yours, I will be watching and waiting with you, every second of every day...

Someone had posted it is usually only a couple weeks for NVC to forward your case to your local embassy. Mine will be sent to Montreal. And the Montreal embassy's average is 3 months to get an interview. You are very lucky you are in Vancouver where your time frame is much shorter.

I still haven't gotten my NOA1. My fiancee had sent it in on April 1st, and the package was received at the dallas lockbox on April 3rd. The cheque hasn't been cashed either. I pray I dont get an RFE!

This wait is so nerve-wracking!!!

Hopefully none of us have any hitches in our application. Heres to a speedy processing! Cheers! :jest:

Do let me know when each of you receive your NOA1! Wish you all the best in your processing =)
