i think i belong here,.. supposedly our case is already complete at the moment since our case was approved last january 14th, by that time my husband scheduled to take his vacation and visit me, resulting for delay processing. Last friday March 13, we are expecting to have a case complete news, unfortunately, i have some missing document that needed to submit.. Hopefully this week, a case complete news will be ours.. and have an interview by May..

Good luck to us!!

Hopefully you will get a May interview but it will all depend on when your case is completed and how busy your consulate is. Most of us here have been completed since January/February/early March. Good luck! :thumbs:

I would have been lost without VJ! I don't even want to think how long it would have taken us without all of the guides and help from other members! :clock:

I will definitely keep posting, although I think a short break after my POE is due!!

We still have "Removal of Conditions" and naturalization to go through together. :yes:

For this week let's see some action from Montreal!!!
