  1. Just before Christmas, hubby and I were reunited, and I got the green card shortly thereafter. Life is good! Thank you to everyone on here who supported and encouraged me through this process!

  5. Hubby is deployed. Probably going to postpone my interview because I would rather be in Canada until he returns. Any thoughts or advice are appreciated!

      p.s. sorry I haven't been on for awhile

  6. Well interview is scheduled... but not until after hubby goes to Iraq. Sigh. After 19 months apart already we are looking at another 9 to 18. So, I will go to the US in the summer so I don't forfeit my CR1, but will return to Canada until hubby is back

      But I have been told by US Customs officials that they will let me go visit him before he deploys at least!

  7. SIF! Come on Montreal! If I could get a DEcember interview that would be super sweet, but I know it isn't likely at all. A January one would be good too, then I might get to live with my husband for 1 month before he deploys to Iraq... Please please please!

      Thank you both!

  8. Nov 16: "We have everything and have asked Montreal to expedite". Nov 22 email: theconsulate requires that you do the 260 even though we already sent the 230. We do it that same day. Dec 2: same email again asking us to do the 260. Argh. What is going on and what do they want?

      Oh, that's soooo sad. Come on, Montreallll, good luck with this!

  9. Tues the 16th we were told they had everything and had asked Montreal to expedite. Monday the 22nd they email a request for us to do the DS 260 online. Today we are told to wait 20 business days. I am so disappointed and frustrated right now.

    1. Inky

      Did u submit documents for proof of needing the expedite? It sounds like they are doing a check which is why they ask for 20 days.

    2. claro

      claro

      Good luck with this. I'm still waiting two weeks now for them to enter my DS230 into their system.

    3. GnC2010

      GnC2010

      Inky yes we did, actually the 20 days was for them to process the 260 online app, but thank you.

      Claro- thank you, and good luck

  10. after emailing the DS230 3 weeks ago, we got an email yesterday asking us to do the DS260. Argh. Had to call to find out the Beneficiary ID #, as it wasn't on any correspondence. Sitll hoping for the expedite to come through before hubby deploys

  11. So the NVC has sent a request to Montreal to expedite. But, our case isn't complete at NVC. Any thoughts?

    1. Sweetcheeksss

      Sweetcheeksss

      If you get approved from Montreal, the NVC will send everything they have in your file (so far) to Montreal and from then on out, everything will be done thru the consulate.

      It's both a blessing AND a curse because at the NVC, you could call the operators there and get some answers if you were confused (or to check processing times). At the consulate there is no number to call nor are emails answered (at least, not very often) so you really can't check ANYTHING, it'll ...

    2. GnC2010

      GnC2010

      Thanks Sweetcheeksss. Yeah, I do like the customer service at NVC and will miss that once we don't have that option anymore

  12. NVC is trying to expedite our case along with the Consulate in Montreal! Fingers crossed that we can be together before he deploys!

  13. After being apart for 16 months, we have just found out that hubby is deploying to Iraq in the next 90 days. So, if we are lucky I MIGHT get my green card just in time for him to leave. So, do I bother or just stay home in Canada with my family until he returns?

      Oh it's so difficult being apart. I hope you have the chance to reunite for a while before he leaves.

      Thanks everyone. Claro- exactly

  14. Thanks for the link to the spreadsheet.

  15. Hey I noticed you mentioned on HEather and Matt's profile/wall that people who were done at NVC in June still don't have an interview date..? Really? How do you know that? Man that sucks!

  16. Just spoke to a VERY nice operator at NVC "Nicky". She informed me they do in fact already have my DS230 packet as of the 28th! Phew!

      You know the website where you sign in to check that your fees have paid? Apparently once the case is complete you are no longer able to sign in there. You might see people refer to it as "SIF".

    3. GnC2010

      GnC2010

      But, I am really liking the operators and encourage you to just call often for updates

    4. claro

      claro

      Oh, lol, I never knew what SIF was until now. Thanks. I'm going to try that. Yes, the NVC people suggested I call back and check with the operator as well. The last one I spoke with was Casey.

  17. Got an email yesterday that they ahve received our request to optin to electronic processing. I had sent them the DS230 over 3 weeks ago, and now wondering if it would've been better to just mail it in?

    1. GnC2010

      GnC2010

      actually that wouldn't have helped because I was waiting for a newer police check and sent them what I had in the meantime. Have just received my newer police check and emailed it off. Fingers crossed for a SIF soon!!!

  18. it's been 3 weeks since I sent the DS230, and no word (well, other than the fact that we may not have properly requested electronic processing). Sigh. Fingers crossed and anxious for good news!

    1. WH&DL

      WH&DL

      Good luck, cross my fingers for you too!

    2. claro

      claro

      I hope you hear something good soon. I'm afraid I don't have an original birth certificate so waiting on one to be mailed from Nicaragua and also two passport photos. It's delaying my DS230 submission and driving me crazy.

    3. GnC2010

      GnC2010

      Thanks WHDL and claro. And good luck Claro, I totally understand the frustration!

  19. NVC phone operator informed me I may not have opted in to electronic processing correctly. Hope I haven't delayed things too much.

      Heather&Matt

      oh no, I hope its not a major setback. Good luck!

      When I called nvc today they told me I can't sent the IV packet in email because its on only for some of the countries, not Nicaragua.

  20. IV packet sent 1 week ago. Hopefully only 1 week to go before we hear something...?

  21. Sittin' Wishin' Waitin'... Hopin' for the best!

    1. Heather&Matt

      Heather&Matt

      good luck! Looks like we will be waiting the 2 weeks anxiously together.

  22. That is cool that you have been instructed to use the DS 260 online- you must be one of the first. Let me know how it goes! I thought it was interesting whenI was reading the NVC website the other day and noticed they are rolling over to the 260 this month.

  23. Glad to hear your good news

  24. Hi Loto, I just saw that you had a problem with how they entered a birthdate- that sucks! Looks like you have it all under control now... wishing you all the best! You are such a supportive and helpful member here, I hope that karma helps you through :)

  25. IV payment is now officially paid, and I sent off the packet by email. Fingers crossed! Anyone know how long this step usually takes?

    1. GnC2010

      GnC2010

      Oh I just reviewed the EZ Guide and see it takes about 2 weeks. Then it'll be 'Come on interview date'! 15 months apart and counting...
