I was just told 6 weeks...

so they're really backed up, just wait, meanwhile you can Check if you get everything ready for the AOS form and ds260 form, money(believe or not, i waited for 3 weeks just for the money, because my case# came out the end of month and all my money went to bills), all the tax forms, birth certificate from both of you, marriage certificate, passport photos taken, police certificate etc, have them scanned and those documents needs to be scaled down to less than 2 MB, it will help greatly reduce the wait time. and check, double check, triple check to avoid a checklist, otherwise it'll delay the processing time even more. too bad we can't take control over the data entry stage, but we can def be on top of sending all the paperworks. my 2 cents 

there's nothing really you can do but keep calling and wait at the moment, it took me 10-11 weeks to get a NVC number in Canada. Even though the supervisor will step in, they have 2-4 weeks to respond. I understand everyone wants to see the beloved family member sooner, we all are om the same boat. 

Hi everyone,

A little history about myself:

I entered Canada in Sep, 2010 as a student, gained work permit upon graduation. The work permit ran out, so someone suggested me to make a refugee claim(LGBT related, I was bullied and threatened in high school) within Canada. So I did, but it was a no go for me, because the refugee board don't think I'd face persecution if I got back to my own country. I'm in Judicial Review process. 

fast forward, 2016 I married to my husband, who is a US citizen. Filed i130 right away. The case is currently undergoing NVC. I'm wondering, what should I say when the Visa Officer asks what do i do in canada? Should I just dish out the whole refugee claim thing? Or I should say I'm a worker in Canada, as a server so and so forth. I'm a little concerned.
