Process moving too fast!

[T & W 2]

My Canadian Fiance and I were shocked to find that our NOA2 was approved in 11 days. As I am sure anyone on this site can relate, this entire process greatly impacts your ability to plan for future events/ vacations/ and travel. I was hoping some of you more experienced VJ'ers could give me some advise.

Our original "plan" was to submit K1, and during the "avg processing wait" we would enjoy the holidays together in the US, and go on a family cruise in March 2010. My finance is now expecting her Packet 3 to be delivered any day now, and has delayed her US travel plans until she gets it.

So my questions:

1. Is there anything in Packet 3 that should keep my Candain Fiance in Canada (for the next month) such as the physical date? Does she schedule her own physical, does the embassy schedule it? or dose she get that in Packet 4?

2. What are the repercusions of "delaying" the Packet 3 return, by simply holding on to it for 30 days before returning it so that we can enjoy xmas and new years, then send it back to the emabassy when she returns to Canada soon after new years?

3. Can I delay the Packet 3 or the interview process long enough so that I can "push" the interview until after March 2010 (assuming its about Dec 2009 when she recieves packet 3) and be able to take our mexican cruise without dealing with the Advance Parole process, which we will probably not have time to complete in this small window anyway.

Any insight or thoughts would be great. Thanks in advanced.

It actually is normal to get approved quick, I got my petition approved in 21 days, congrats on your speedy approval, as per delaying the packet 3 maybe someone whos is going thru K-1 could inform u properly, but the way Montreal is setting their interview u might have to wait 2 to 3 month for an interview.

Wish u all the best!

-> I do not see any reason why your Canadian fiancee should be in Canada as far as mailing packet-3 goes. However, your fiancee will have to schedule the medical and she has to be in Canada for the medical and get it done by one of the approved doctors by the US consulate. Medical can be done anytime after receiving packet-3 and your before your interview date. I would advise to hold off the medical till you mail packet-3 to the consulate as it is valid for one year and you will not have to another medical while the AOS procedure.

2. What are the repercusions of "delaying" the Packet 3 return, by simply holding on to it for 30 days before returning it so that we can enjoy xmas and new years, then send it back to the embassy when she returns to Canada soon after new years?

-> Holding off packet-3 doesn't matter, a lot of members on VJ, including me, have done it (Please look at my timeline). She will however need proof of strong ties to Canada when she comes to visit you for Christmas and new years as you guys have a K-1 in progress.

3. Can I delay the Packet 3 or the interview process long enough so that I can "push" the interview until after March 2010 (assuming its about Dec 2009 when she recieves packet 3) and be able to take our mexican cruise without dealing with the Advance Parole process, which we will probably not have time to complete in this small window anyway.

-> This is a touch and go situation, I mean I can advise you for Christmas but March is a bit far along. But if you mail Packet-3 before that and the Consulate schedules your interview, please change your travel plans as the interview is much more important (this is what I would do). I hope my answers help you, take care and good luck !

U think some folks that are going to be interviewed in montreal getting there petition approved quick due to the back log in montreal, some folks here got approved in 5,11,21 days between there noa1 and noa2, knowing the fact that we might have to wait at least 4 to 5 months to get a interview date. Man! im confusing myself , it might look like a stupid question but your thought willl highly appreciated.
