M&K2010

Thank you so much 😊. I hope that you get to see your love soon & that goodbyes at the airport are a thing of all of our past. 
Good luck to each and every one of us! 

You are so right, cheeseburgers never get old! 😊
 
Thank you so much for the information, appreciate it!  I will definitely get mine in the next couple of weeks then. One other thing to check off the checklist!  
 
Thank you, hope your weekend is great as well! 😃

Cheeseburgers never get old
 
So I got my police certificate already because the Embassy website here says literally it has to be of "recent day (not older than 1 year)". The lady that issued it to me warned me they normally are valid for 3 months here in Spain, but when I told her what the Embassy says she said then I should be fine no doubt.
Actually, I have just checked Canada's USEM website and they also say the certificate has to be issued within a year prior to the interview
 
I got an additional one in case I needed it for AOS, but I'm 99% sure that's not the case, because I was reading the form instructions the day before and it wasn't listed there. I've seen some people got asked for one later on the process, but I think that must be some exceptions and not the norm.
 
I hope that helps. Have a great weekend

Thank you, it was really great to see him and spend some quality time together. Hopefully the next time we see one another it will be when he flies up to Canada to drive the truck with all my belongings and small car in tow and of course me in the passenger seat...of the truck that is. 😂  Fingers crossed 🤞 & knock on wood that this will happen soon 😇🙏🏻
Awwww that's really sweet of him to say to you. Nice to know there are other cheeseburgers out there lol 😂 
So I read in one of your other posts that you already got your police certificate. I was thinking of getting mine done as well. I live & work right across from where they do them. I was wondering though, how long are they valid for & will we need them for AOS? 
I am trying to get everything organized and ready for when that glorious day of knowing we are approved and NOA2 is issued. 😃

Wait... What? My NOA2 is 4/11 ( received date 4/6) and my estimated is between 7/19-7/24. My reaction just now was 😶😨😱😡
 
Then I took a look to your timeline and I think I figured it out. You say your service center is Texas, that works faster than California. But I wonder, and I'm fairly sure this is the case because of what you put there, if you just mistook the lockbox for the service center and the usual them sending your case to California with a transfer?
 
I'm sorry to be a party pooper welcoming you here like this, but I know putting your hopes in the wrong date can cause additional stress  Be very welcome here anyway and don't hate me
 
I'm going back to sleep for a bit... It's just 7am and don't have much to do today Things sure move a lot here while I'm sleeping, lol.
 
Welcome back to @M&K2010. Great you could visit your fiance and have a great time. Airports are sad places right now, but that will be over soon
And you two are not cheesy but cute. We are not particularly cheesy... He's more than me anyway. Imagine the other day he told me no matter how much he enjoys playing his video games, he'll always prefer to play Mario Kart with me  😂
 
 

Thank you so much 😊. I hope that you get to see your love soon & that goodbyes at the airport are a thing of all of our past. 
Good luck to each and every one of us! 

Congratulations on getting to see him for a couple of weeks.  What you describe sounds wonderful to me.  Being with the person that you love and having a wonderful time together doing anything is great.  I couldn't agree more about leaving them at the airport, that is so hard to do.  I have had to leave her at the airport twice now and I am hoping the next time that I go see her, that I can stay until she can come back to the US with me.  Not sure if that can happen or not, but I am very hopeful.   I agree about wanting to start our lives together and moving forward knowing that we are doing it together.  Good luck to us all.
 

Hi fellow April filers & welcome to all the new people who have joined us here in this thread. I just got back from Texas last Wednesday from visiting my fiancé 😃. We had an amazing time together as we always do!  We went and saw a couple of movies while I was there, which is always fun. My fiancé also taught me how to play pool, he's a good teacher because I actually did really great..,I also think I'm a quick learner so it helps annnnddd I actually beat him at one game. It was down to the 8 ball. I was pretty impressed with myself and we had a wonderful time.  We then went to the River Rock Festival to see some amazing rock bands. Godsmack, Def Leopard, The Offspring, Three Days Grace just to name a few were all playing. It was really hot but totally worth it!! We also enjoyed a lazy Sunday just chilling, sharing some laughs,eating ice cream and watching movies. We are both super cheesy, we call ourselves cheeseburgers 🍔 lol...it's definitely love ❤️ 😍. We also spent Memorial Day floating the lazy river...that was too much fun. But alas, the dreaded day I go home, saying goodbye at the airport seems to get harder each time & my eyes always get wet 😢but I am very grateful for the time that we spent together. Now that I am home again though I tend to get lonely & always miss him dearly. I live on my own and most of my family lives in BC, so it makes it hard. I know that there are people out there that have gone a lot longer not seeing their loved ones...I hope you are all reunited with them soon!
 All I know is I cannot wait to never have to say goodbye at another airport again. I also cannot wait to start my life with the most amazing man I know & love! 😊❤️

Thank you! this is very useful information. I was wondering if I should vaccinate myself since I don't have the records.

Good morning, April filer here 😊
I was reading through all the other threads as I often do and saw your post. You do in fact get a new receipt number. At least we did in our case. My fiancé wrote $530 instead of $535 on the cheque. We would have been March filers but alas we are not. We ended up calling USCIS when we noticed others getting their NOA1's and we had not yet received ours.  The agent on the phone gave us our receipt number regarding the rejected file. We received a new receipt number when they received our package back with the correct fee. 

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and my fiancé and I are April filers now. Originally March filers but we sent the incorrect fee, for some reason he wrote $530 instead of $535 on his check. So anyways, they sent the package back and it was resent to the Dallas Lockbox April 3rd, 2017 and it was received April 5th, 2017. Fiancé just received Text message today with Receipt number and that the official receipt notice (I-797) is to follow in the mail. Happy to know that the visa is finally starting in the processing stages. Wishing all the filers a smooth process & thankful to have you all during on this journey with us. All I know is it will all be worth it, specially when we don't ever have to say goodbye at an airport again. 😊😍
 
p.s thank you for starting the thread Estibaliz

Hi we are April filers. We mailed our application April 1st and received our NOA 1 today April 21. 

Hi guys!! 
 
I am also a April filer. I shipped my application on 4/5 thru UPS.  I got my NOA1 text/email on 4/12 hard copy on 04/17 . I'm super excited and going a little bit crazy. lol i'm not a patient person and i can't stop thinking about the wait we have. I have become addicted to checking the USCIS website to check the "my case status" and checking the processing times (even though it barely ever changes).  I know there's not going to be a change for a couple of weeks but that doesn't stop me from checking. lol  
 
Want to wish everyone on the April filers GOOD LUCK!!!
