After going through the timelines on here and PM'ing everyone who hadn't been online for a while and got another approval out the system for March, YAY!! So here is the definitive list as of 5.00pm my time!! And VJ is estimating a processing date of NOA1s with a date of March 17th. That's just 3 weeks away from our date dancin5hr.gif

April - 62 filers, 2 with NOA2 (3%) and 60 waiting.

May - 44 filers and 44 waiting.

Yay that is great to see Graham Thank you for the update!

Hi to the new May filers on this thread too!! good to see us all sticking together!

I'm really really hoping that VSC will fly though the rest of March and April's because its not the wait for the NOA2 I'm worried about now...it's the wait for the interview date in Montreal...right now their average is 116 days thats 4 months. One of the longest waits at an embassy. So thats what's driving me nuts right now. If I put all the dates together, my interview would be awfully close to Christmas, and gawd knows how many weeks they have for Holidays at the Embassy I was hoping to get down there by the fall...I guess I might have to change my plans

Trying to keep my head up Hope everyone is doing well this week. It's cool and rainy here, and supposed to stay like this all week...suites my mood I guess LOL What's everyone else up to?

Alex No worries, take your time .

Jenni Am SO sorry!!! All I can say, let's hope that it will change really soon. We still have some time untill approvals start coming in for May, so maybe your embassy will speed up too!!! Are you starting to prepare for your trip to see Bo?

Graham Many thanks for the update! How is your lovely mother-to-be doing?

Thank you Graham for the update and thank you Jenni and Bo for sharing the average days for Montreal.. that is where ours will take place also. Its nice to have a vague timeline to expect. I am looking forward to the USCIS website updating processing dates this month too!

Hi everyone. I just want to thank you. FInding this site and knowing there are poeple all going through the same waiting and watching process is comforting! Also when you got the NOA1 in the mail was it sent to address in the states or the fiance in the other country. We got the reciept number off the cheque but still havent recieved anything in the mail???

Ps thanks to everyone who is so welcoming :-)

Hey all

Ana: Thanks...I know it's still a faster process than some have to go through, and I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that things will speed up a bit.

I am getting ready for my trip - 32 days I'm trying to stash some money away so I can buy some things for the apartment when I'm down there Work has gotten a bit busier and I have friends coming home for visits soon, so hopefully the next month will pass quickly. Bo is going to Minnisoda next week for a week of training for his promotion position, so a little less contact for a couple days, but the training will pass his time quickly as well

How is your business trip going Ana?

Shiri: Where are you from? I wish I was able to be processed through Vancouver, but I'm on the East Coast, so Montreal it is...from what I've read on the forums here though, the people in Montreal are really great, so I don't think I'll be nervous at all going into my interview

So I was thinking, we should do a random question every so often, to pass the time..so my question to you all is: What things will you miss about your home country after getting to the US?

My list is as follows:

Tim Horton's Coffee

Canadian Beer

Poutine!

Canadian Music & Maritime music - ie: drinking music

fresh atlantic salmon

being close to water (i'm gonna be in the middle of NC - 3 hr drive to the coast and right now I live on a river , grew up next to the Atlantic)

I'm sure there are a bunch more things, but those are the things that pop out.

I'm in the writing mood today eh?

Melzy: THE USC will get something in the mail to say that they received your petition (NOA1)..It will probably take a couple days from when the cheque is cashed, but as long as it was cashed and you have your case number, everything is good Give good ol' snail mail a couple days Good luck and keep us posted!
