Congrats to Jeff & Qingyun AND Amy & Aldo. your Dates are just one in front of mine :whistle: , so you are giving me hope also. I was "touched" on December 4th, but due to expedite request. Still NO ANSWER to that request. At this point, I am fully expecting a rejection :devil: . I got another letter from USCIS yesterday (Form Letter) telling me to contact that brilliant call in service that is so helpful and well informed. :devil::devil::devil:

Hello everyone, I am visiting VisaJourney since the last 3 months and would like to Congratulate everyone who is providing information on the immigration process. I have discovered so much information that helped me a lot. I just decided to register, this is my first post and not sure how it is working but I will found that out with time. My US Fiance and I as started the process in september just following my return to Gatineau QC after spending the summer in California with him and my daughter. If everything goes smoothly we are planning to get married on August 15, 2009, in California so in less than 9 months. But I can say that I am a little worried about the wedding date because I have read a lot on this site concerning the Montreal Consulate waiting time being really long. Anyway we keep our spirit up. By the way, I just want to let you know that I am French and I might make some mistakes from time to time while writing. All the best to all of you.

Le passé est source de connaissances, et l'avenir source d'espoir. L'amour du passé implique la foi en l'avenir !!! The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future!!!

Welcome aboard our quiet little waiting train. with the recent touches and August starting to move, maybe August 2009 will be no problem for you. The probelm might be that you get approved too soon and need to get married before that point, but I wouldnt expect that to be a problem either. I think you have up to 6 months to enter the US, then 90 days to get married. So should be OK.

Thank you Grace and Chuck to have Welcome me. Being approved too soon will be less of a problem than being approved to late. The next 6 months I need to focus on selling my residence, packing, moving the houselhold, looking for new school in California, preparing a wedding and making sure professionally to live the office with a well trained person. No doubt in my mind not to be approved, once they touch it. Positive Energy is the most wonderful Power full of Love. It will be the same for you too.

C'est en aimant que nous apprenons à aimer!!! We can only learn to love by loving !!!
