I wanted to have him there but he only has the one week off (September 4-8) - his work is weird they make you book your full years worth of vacation in January!!! its insane. so I might make him come out for a weekend but since I probably wont get that September 6 date we are hooped.. I cant imagine getting a medical next week.. seems short.  its okay though. And ya I'm 31 and my fiancé is 44 so I get what you mean you are a little bit younger so I'm sure that it will help have him by your side for the interview not only that but also for support! its a tough process to go through! and to be alone in a diff city aswell!

Aw that sucks, and I don't think I'll get September 6 at this point either but, September 13!! High hopes for that date, hopefully I'll see you that day it'd be nice to  

@gob332 haha aww that's adorable and a wonderful birthday surprise.

Will do! I did a review of my medical as well, I used Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas.

ooh that's who I'm planning to use! He's got one of the best reviews especially with service. Do you mind linking me to your review? Also, how long did it take before your medical stuff was ready to pick up? 

Just now, Nathan&Amy said:

You can also get the medical done in Toronto if that is an option for you.

I am! It's much easier and we plan to pick it up again on route to the interview  ps please post as much about your interview as you possibly can.  I'm so excited for all the upcoming interviews, fingers crossed they are as easy as everyone says.

I was also wanting a SEPT 6 interview date!!! but I highly doubt that will happen now. Did you do your medical already? I am waiting so I can do it all in one shot (spend a week or 8 days in montreal if I have to.. ) I am worried that ill find an interview date and a medical day wont be available.. (I live in alberta so I have to fly no matter what for the medical its just easier this way)

 

I know it sucks!!! haha just wanna be done with the wait to be together. And noo I haven't, I believe we can't book the medical until our interviews all booked. And yes omg Im really worried about no available medical day being available too! I'm from Ontario so it'll just a long drive for me, other provinces have it much worse. Is your fiance(e) joining you for the interview? Lol I'm making mine come to the medical and the interview. We're both pretty young ( I'm18 and hes 22) so I feel like we'll  need to show as much proof as possible.

still in transit boooo hopefully it updates later today or maybe tomorrow? longer than I expected for electronic

Ugh same, not that I'm not grateful to be this far along I just hoped I could be able to book a Sept 6 interview. Lol I keep checking the tracker every couple of hours hoping to see a change. We have the same nvc timeline so if i see something I'll be sure to let you know!

How long did it take other Canadians to get theirs to 'READY'??

Maybe i'm freaking out for no reason but when I go to check my case on the CEAC website it only shows up under visa type immigrant? Is this for everyone else too or was my case improperly filed? Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I'm getting prepared to fill out the DS160, and I read one of the question is about your visits into the US for the past 5 years. Does anyone know if there's a way to find this info online? I really hope so.. being a Canadian I've easily gone a couple of times so the dates are long forgotten. Thank you guys so much in advance

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but you almost ruined my night when you said you got an approval.  I was super happy for you, but really dejected about my own situation. Background: There were 6 RFEs all within 10 case numbers of mine all issued on 7/31. One was the case just after mine, so I've been hoping my folder was in what appeared to be a stack of cases that were all worked on the same day. When I thought you got an approval letter in New York today from that date, and I didn't get anything here, my hopes were crushed. Now my hope is restored! I know an RFE isn't as good as an approval, but your case was reviewed! I almost wish I had an RFE just to know someone looked at my petition and it isn't on the roulette wheel still. Congratulations!

No, my god I totally understand. My initial received date was March 20th but seriously I was so envious of every single approval but so happy for them, because I couldn't even imagine the relief until it happened to me (I don't mean to gloat!!!) And lol i thought the same about the RFE until I got it, it's like a new layer of worry. Good luck to you, I hope you get your approval very soon!

Congrats!! Just curious does your case status still show received?

Yess! Well, we got an rfe so it shows as rfe received  

Hello March Whiners, 

Long time lurker, first time poster. 

The hold up for us has been extremely stressful. The feeling of uncertainty has honestly got to be the worst. We filed in February but we're denied due to the fact they had issues cashing in the money order (although we got it right from the postal office here). We filed again in March and have the NOA1 date as Mach 20th. After the excruciating wait that we're all going through my case was updated and we got an RFE (July 17th). Btw, I'm from Canada and my Fiance is from NYC. I know each case varies for and RFE but would my estimate that this would push things back by about a week be somewhat good? 

Hope to continue to see everyone's approvals. Good luck!
