Extension is expiring, this is taking forever!

[rising spring 0]

hi everyone,

i haven't posted on visajourney in a long time! but now i am getting impatient and am hoping for some input from others who are waiting for their CRI89 to get approved.

i got a request for evidence in august and sent in my evidence 2 weeks later. i haven't heard anything since. my NOA (aka, my extension) expires in 2 weeks, and i need to go to canada in november. last year when i was waiting for my NOA, i needed to travel, so i had to go to an infopass office and get a stamp. now i fear i will have to do that again (the office is 2h away).

has anyone else been waiting for over a year?

i am browsing the forum and finding many people who filed in may 2009 and are already approved! why oh why is it taking so long for mine to be approved? i understand that i got a RFE... how long can it take after an RFE? i am getting impatient...

Assuming you responded to the RFE with what they needed - I wouldn't think it would take much longer to hear something. What was the RFE for and what did you respond with?

(With such a short time to go before you need to travel, it would probably be a good idea to schedule an infopass appointment.)

it was a request for evidence of relationship. so i sent in a packet that included documents such as: joint insurance, joint bank account, joint car ownership, joint lease, shared utilities, signed statement from my mother-in-law and from a good friend, and some pictures.

i am bad at remembering dates, but i think i sent it in early august.

khushi, it was a joint application.

and yes, i think i will probably have to schedule an info pass appointment. uggh..
