GRAHAM: Thanks for yet another update!!! I also noticed that we moved up on Igor's list. This one was a huge jump: from 172 to 163 :). Glad to hear that Megan is feeling good. What an exiting time for you guys! So sorry you are not able to hold her hand through those little things! :( Hopefully, it won't be much longer for you two.

As to me, doing just fine. Getting a little frustrated by the wait, buy, hey, who isn't :).

Jenni: My business trip was fun. I was visiting my team from another region (like province in Canada) for a charity project I was monitoring in one part of Ukraine. They did a great job and it was fun to sit down and relax with them after two months of crazyness and travleing all over the place. Feel so accomplished. This project is like my last gift to my country before I move away :).

Decorating your first appartment together! How exciting is that? If you need a place to look for cool things, be sure to visit IKEA (a lot of my friends are raving about it).

Melzy: I used to work with a girl from Australia and she brought us some vegemite - so tasty!

I will miss:

Ukrainian bread

Salty fish they make and I seem unable to find in the States

Sweet cottage cheese (all I could find was salty!!!)

A word of advice to everybody, once you make it to the U.S. be sure to check out World Market. It's an amazing store where they sell wines and beers and foods and decor items from around the globe. I used to go there so often to pick up German chocolate (my guilty pleasure).

hi Ryan,

Im a May filer - my fiancee filed everything through the attorney in indianapolis and we waiting for progress from him- the Waiting period is killing us but im hoping all goes well, i new here and i thought i could elate to wht you are going through.

Jaqib

Thank you for the reply, Jaqib. Welcome to this site. Lots of great people here to help you pass the time and keep you informed.

Speaking of keeping one informed: Jen, I had never checked into the average wait at the Montreal Embassy. Needless to say, I was not expecting that type of wait.

Maybe drop Chantal an IM sometime and fill her in on that? That's not a conversation I'm interested in having with her right now.

I've had her study-up on the feedback from past interviews at Montreal. I think you both will pass that with ease.

I'll be having me some poutine by the end of next week. I'll be there 10 days over the 4th on my vacation, so at least I've got that to look forward to.

Thanks to all of you who dropped me well wishes.

Bye for now my friends,

Ryan

Good afternoon May filers. Looks like not alot is going to happen for this month. Surely July will be a better month for the May filers. Be nice if a few us get the NOA2.

Keep your chins up, it's getting closer as the days passes.

Good luck on the journey Tarantula.

Lara is doing really good Alex. She might be heading to work in Houston, Texas for a few weeks as it's busy there. She is planning one more visit to the UK before I move over, all depends on her schedule. Hows things with you? Hope your well.

When do you think that the first may approval will come?

1 approval a day is not much.

A have a question for you?! Can I do the medical exam before my Noa2 or do I have to wait?

Morning, guys :) Hope everyone is doing well and finding things to do to stay busy! Am really delighted to see all those approvals coming in for March... next thing we know they'll get through April and it will be our turn.

William: I was abou to give up hope for July, but who knows? How is Laura handling the process?

Alex: You certanly can try and get your medical done. You just have to figure out if they need your case number. If they don't - go for it, if they do, you'll have to wait for approval. I read couple times about ppl getting medical done ahead of time. Now, also consider if you wish to use the same medical for your AOS to see about the experation date.

So, any other under 26 years old ladies out there pissed off about recent addition to the vaccination list? I mean the Gardasil, aka the HPV vaccine? The cost of that one does not make me happy :(.

Hi Ana!

“Now, also consider if you wish to use the same medical for your AOS to see about the experation date.” Oh ! that was something new! Ok
