January Filers at the CSC - How are you doing?

[Cecile and Bryan 0]

Yay! Congratulations Cecile! :dance:

It's good to hear that you weren't required to have the co-sponsor after all, though I still would've done the same as you and found one.

I'm glad the lady was so friendly, always makes things easier!

Kim - thank you for the information, I wasn't sure what an infopass appointment was!

Yes, it was a relief to hear that we did not need the co-sponsor. Too bad we spent $50 to have all the paperwork on time Oh well, better be safe than sorry

Congratulations Cecile!!!

Maybe it will be my turn soon

I am sure your turn will come very soon

And, good luck to Pam tomorrow!!!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Yeah, you never know, had you not turned up with the paperwork you may not have had such an understanding lady and they might have demanded to see a co-sponsor!

Anyway, all over now! I hope Pam's experience is as good tomorrow.

It's Alex's 22nd birthday today! He already opened his present from me last week because that's the kind of impatient boy he is.

Thank you everyone

Our visa is APPROVED!!!!

It went very smoothly, it took less than 2 hours. No co-sponsor needed. no proofs asked. nothing to worry about!

I wrote a long text in the train with details, I will probably type it tomorrow.

That's awesome news Congratulations :D

That must be a guy thing... I received my bday present like 2-3 weeks ahead of time and, of course, I had to open it right away haha

LOL about the men opening the presents soon after getting them! My man is opposite! He is way against opening any presents ahead of birthdays or Christmas! I was going nutty waiting to open my presents from him that arrived before both Christmas and my birthday haha!

Congrats again Cecile, glad to hear all went smoothly. Isn't it sort of ironic that such a HUGE process, so filled with stress and anxiety ends with such a short, simple, and almost not necessary interview? The most stressful part for me was back when we were waiting for the NOA2.

Great to hear you're on your way to the states!

And Happy Birthday to Alex! Mine is next week! WAHOO!

And happy birthday to Alex!

Levi Heather: Since you are going through the Vancouver Consulate as well, I thought you might be able to answer my questions and concerns. Valerie and I received notification from NVC that our file had been sent to Vancouver on 7/9/08. Here it is two weeks later and we haven't received our packet 3 yet! I know your timeline shows it took two weeks, so I guess it's normal. Val lives right outside Vancouver, so I guess I was hoping that it wouldn't take nearly as long. Anyways- we are planning on getting the checklist and the DS-230 faxed back the same day or the next after receiving the packet. But, I'm starting to get a little paranoid, because we have our wedding booked for October 3, and even though it's still 2 1/2 months away....I'm praying for an interview date in September!! Are you aware of the current interview dates being scheduled? This process has been driving me crazy ALL of 2008!! I'm just looking for a little relief!

I think you should be getting packet 3 anyday now This process is very stressful I agree! If it was mailed out to the consulate July 9 by DHL the consulate should have received it the 11th. Levi received packet 3 in about 2 weeks but your dealing with how quickly the consulate actually mails it out then Canada Post. Levi's interview is August 27th so I would say you probably will have a September interview date and I think its not unrealistic to plan for an October wedding at all...

Also.. When you're feeling the most stressed out and you're totally sure it's been lost in the mail thats when it will show up That's how it worked for us anyway!
