KBA

Hello, has anyone travelled to Canada and back that can share their experience? My husband has several doctors appointments in Canada and so we are thinking he will have to quarantine in Canada for 14 days prior to his appointments. When he returns to the US, we are guessing he will have to quarantine here for 14 days. We are weighing the options to see if he should even bother right now. Any assistance is appreciated! 😊

must be!  fantastic news.

Yes! Just got notification that the AP/WAD are on their way! 

Hi, I received a notification that a “new card” was being made today...is this the EAD?

Yes, now you juat wait until you get the scheduled interview notice. 

 

We had a lot of trouble too with the k1 visa part but were really lucky with this part of the process and received the green card in 4 months. Don't give up hope, it might be quick. Good luck!!

Ok thank you! 😊 So we just wait for notification in the nail, correct? 

New to the forum...we filed my husband’s paperwork in July along with advanced parole and employment. He went for his fingerprinting months ago. What happens next? Just sit and wait? Should I be checking anything online? Sorry to be clueless...we had quite the ordeal just getting his K1 visa so we don’t have high hopes that anything will go quickly with this either! Thank you in advance! 😊

For my time here, one of the most memorable is @KBA I still can't believe the power they had as a couple. I think you can check the timeline by going there.

 

But this was not a normal wait for 99.9% of the people here: I say the regular longest waits at worst times was 200 ( but our average 2 years ago was 180-200 days)

 

I am a highly anxious person and by my 200th day I was going into real negativity. I am now sitting here with my now husband watching TV shows, have an awesome job and really happy life - and that thought ( back then a dream of ours) was the only thing I needed to remember everyday. And to be honest, people in VJ reminded that to each other every day.

Yes, I think our wait was definitely one of the longest! (Take a look at my timeline, it’s not pretty) But we are finally married and submitted the AOS paperwork...and hoping things go smoothly from here!

Hello. I just got a notification in my email.

I'm still here. I'm just about to go to bed so I'll fill you guys in on what's happened and what's going on 

Thank you for thinking of me. That's really lovely and brought some well needed smiles. 💜

Hope you’re doing ok!

Does he not have a Euro standard license?

He’s from Canada and the license is in French.. because they use different letters to indicate things such as a CDL license (which he has) they want it translated 

I am working on AOS paperwork 😬 and am wondering do we pay a separate fee to apply for AP? Thank you! 😊

Hello, my husband came to the states from Quebec and the DMV needs his license to be translated from French as he has a CDL license and motor cycle license. The DMV told him to go to AAA to have that done and they don’t do it. Anyone else been in this situation? Many thanks! 

My now husband was detained for 5 hours and denied entry. They thought he had immigrant intent. He returned with all his financial stuff and proof of ties and still got denied. He waited 8 months before trying again and I went to visit him instead. Then when he tried again he brought a copy of the NOA1 and they let him through. We were really worried about our case because of all this but finally got approved! So I’d say don’t worry!

3 weeks from what point?  Once it shows “ready” on the CEAC website or? So they emailed you the packet 3 request?

Yes for us that’s how it went...after it turned to ready 

I would consider the CR1. You will get a green card right away.. etc as mentioned in other posts. My fiancé is Canadian and we waited 1 year and 2 months for NOA2 for no good reason...shouldn’t have happened especially with a low fraud country and nothing in his background to warrant it. If we had it over we would’ve done CR1

It took approximately 3 weeks for our case to be “accepted” so that we could submit  packet 3. I actually wrote an email inquiring about it and next thing you know I got the email requesting P3. Once submitted, we got P4 within 2 days. 

We waited 456 long days for NOA2. We still don’t know and won’t even know why our car was SO delayed...hang in there for now and try not to worry. We made ourselves crazy overthinking it all

Awesome, thanks so much for the info, very helpful! Congrats on the approaching interview

I would work on the DS 160 and getting your police report if you haven’t yet 😊

Hey how was your P3 experience? I see it took you 21 days after consulted received. Did they physically mail or email you it? Thanks! 

Yes we tried emailing it sooner but they said they were still processing our case..etc. We did receive P3 by email a few days after but overall it took longer than we thought it would to get P3. Once that was submitted we had P4 within a few days. All correspondence has been through email.

Just wanted to start a new thread for those of us who received our NOA2 in Nov-Dec and will be interviewing at the Montreal consulate in the new year.

 

 

My fiancé’s interview is 1/16

We waited much longer so I would not throw in the towel just yet...at the one year mark we hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit for writ of mandamus. 6 weeks later we got an RFE...something that could’ve been taken care of much sooner. We still don’t know WHY we were so delayed. We almost gave up and went the CR1 route but then things finally happened. 

Interview is scheduled for 1/16! Was too tight to try and get things done before the holidays and he wanted to be able to come visit. Fingers crossed as we finish up this long process! POE in February hopefully if all goes well. Thank you everyone for your help and support! 

Finally got P4 so we are getting there!
