      Haha. Well, sounds just about the same as US immigration. Although, if you include the $600 cost for ROC, then no, lol.

    3. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      LOL. Yeah, there's no ROC for us to worry about either (or anyone, as long as you prove your marriage is legit. :) )

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      Definitely sounds easier and cheaper overall then!

  2. Loves when a good friend brings a sick girl that misses her husband some Tim Horton's...it's like liquid gold, good for what ails ya :) Now to just get the NVC case number and I'll be supremely happy!

      LOL...sure doesn't feel like "almost at the end"...ever notice that? :) We have to hang on, he's got a scholarship that we can't lose or else he'd be coming here. We do what we have to do, right? LOL...they better enjoy their weekends after not giving out information to people! :P

      No need to be impatient for the green card though as the visa in your passport and the stamp you'll get at POE acts as a temporary green card for a year. It's the SSN you need to be impatient over ;)

    3. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      LOL, yeah...it'll be a good day when that card arrives :)

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      Most definitely! Hopefully yours comes in the mail quickly so you don't need to go apply for one at the SSA office.

  8. Oh yeah....NVC has our case...it's a happy day - now just waiting for the case number :D

      Actually, this person's someone we've been in touch with a good bit now. Did you miss the part where I said "we'll just hear Congress tell us we need to wait longer"? :) I'm not expecting anything but it feels better (momentarily) to know someone's at least ASKING something...let me be happy, lol. Don't burst my bubble so quick, it took me two weeks to get it re-inflated :)

    3. VisaJourney2011

      VisaJourney2011

      Sorry :-) i hope you get NOA2 Very soon!

    4. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      LOL it's ok...I'm sorry if I sounded touchy, I didn't mean to! We both hope you hear something soon too! :)

  11. ...flight back to Canada leaves in 18 days. Travis hopefully follows within 3-4 months...

      Sounds like it's for the best to move back then! And woo, a non-killing job is always good, lol!

    3. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      LOL no kidding! Work shouldn't equal death, ideally. :)

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      No. Although it seems in a lot of cases, it does!

  12. Wow, I feel crummy...don't even want to work anymore, normally I'm so strong but this process is turning me into a wuss! Would give anything for a hug, let alone an approval...

      BesosforMexico

      And then I catch someone who updates their status to noa2 who filed after I did and it's driving me crazyyyyyy. Haha. Don't get me wrong I am happy for those getting approved.... I'm just ready for it to be meeeee

    4. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      LOL...oh yeah, I know what you mean...CSC, when is it OUR turn?! :) Please, good news today? :)

      hi again

      can a senator's office give some help ??

    4. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      I read your information - I have NO idea what to say...it sounds like a mess. I think the people responding to you have answered you better than I can. Sadly, I only know about Canadian/US issues - the simple stuff. :(

  17. I'm throwing my hands up in frustration. USCIS hasn't even given my app a blue dot anymore (under "initial review" or "decision" or anything). The apps directly above and below mine have been touched. If they've lost my app, I may cry :(

      Def. Before you know it, the long wait will be over :).

    4. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      Sure hope so :) But you've been there done that. Cute picture, btw! :)

  19. Going nuts waiting to hear ANYTHING from the senator...anything at all...even "oh yeah, they threw out your case - you were right" would be great right now!!!

      WHAT?!? That's not ok...REALLY...:( We got nowhere with the congressman, so one of Trav's friends (who's got a contact with the Senator's office) gave us their details. Here's hoping, but wow...

    3. VisaJourney2011

      VisaJourney2011

      yeah... it sucks..

      Tomorrow is the end of that 30 days USCIS gave us. so if we don't get it by then...

      Then i guess my congressman will call USCIS again... i don't know what will that accomplish. So sad but nothing we can do...

      I just gotta stay strong.. and don't give up.

    4. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      That's right - stay strong, and don't give up. Keep on doing everything you can! One day we will have all the answers we can handle!

  20. We passed we passed we passed!!! Visa approved!!! :D

      Trust me you will be a pro in a few months! I have been through the whole process coming from Canada to the US on a series of Visas then green card then citizenship I thought it was over finally no more immigration papers... but NOOOOO i found me a Canadian wife and it all starts over. C'est la Vie! Eh?

    3. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      LOL...I thought I was doing well until I found a typo on what I thought was the I-130 we sent in. Turns out, Travis had to calm me down some and say "you resent it to me, and we made a correction remember?" Phew! HAHA...Travis says "the best wives are from Canada" :) I guess that which does not kill us will make us stronger...papercuts and all?
