Hey guys im just a little bit upset after everything we completed all the requirements aside from the police certificate in canada...i cant believe we have to wait that long.....they said it takes 120 days or so for waiting......

I'm a little ignorant to the police certificate. I'm also Canadian and am wondering where you got the information from for your police certificate.

I will add my name to the list here,,, i am quite sad that i still dont have my rcmp police certificate yet.

I got approved for the noa2 quite quick and have pretty much all the paperwork except for the Rcmp certificate.. I did email them and was told that it is entered into their system and is being processed at this time... they are unavailable to give me a timeframe on when they will have it completed. I will continue to email them until it gets here. They are very busy and i understand that but this could hold up my process.

Just wanted to say you are not the only one :P

when did you apply for it?

Canadiandggal, did you apply for one from within Canada or outside? I think if you apply for them outside, it can take a long time (as with shairajj).

But either way, it's good to know it can take awhile. I'll have my wife start the process right away, even though we're only one month in on the I-130.

Do you know how long are they good for? 3 months?

My husband applied for his in Calgary, and was told it would be 1 - 2 weeks. But his is the name check one, he doesn't require the fingerprint one. And I think they (the Canadian ones, at least) are good for 6 months, but I haven't double checked that yet.

My wife applied for the police cert through the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)..it took her a few days. She had to pay a small fee for it. She lives in Canada still. And apparently the OPP Said they will have that document on file for a year..then it expires. (I am just going off what they told she and I at the office)

*EDIT*

They asked if this was for Immigration to the USA, and then did it for us.

For Canadians IN Canada:

You DO NOT need to go to the RCMP unless you have a criminal record. You can go to your local police station or the Commissionaires to get your PCC done.

We did ours through the Comms - went in on Friday, had it by Tuesday for $30.

Montreal: BEAT!!! Approved!!!!!

in canada if you do not have a criminal record you can just go to your local police station and get a name check done through the cpic database. i live in windsor ontario, but have also lived in quebec as well. i went in on monday and got a call tuesday saying it was ready. paid 40$. however you can only do th is in the city you live. if your are from another city or outside canada you may have to pay more and go through rcmp.

but still 120 days..lis a bit much if you ask me.
