Hello everyone hope you are all doing well! I'm still in Canada visiting my hubby, so I will be attending his iterview with him on May 3rd! It's coming up, we are soo nervous especially with all his background police stuff.

And to top it all off my vacay with my hubby ends 2 days after his interview and I go home May 5th.

I also read about this DHL thing, I don't quite understand what we need to do. And what it si for, Does anyone know?

Thankyou! :star:

Montreal is no longer using Canada Post Xpresspost envelopes to return your passport, they are now using DHL and you need to register for it. I am not familiar with the process because it is new since I interviewed in 2009 but here are some links to the Canada forum that discuss it. If you do a search you will probably find more. Good luck at the interview!

Hello!! I filed April 22 and received my NOA1 April 29, so I'm borderline April/May filer. My case was last touched May 13... Two weeks seems like an eternity. But we do what we have to right?

It's been about 2 weeks since Geert immigrated, (we've been busy so sorry for the late post) everything went smoothly at POE other than it was a long wait around 3 hours (long line) , we are doing well and happy to finally be living together, thanks everyone for being that extra support we needed on this journey it's made the experience more bearable. We got the welcome letter today, but still waiting on the Card and SSN~~! I hope everyone else is happy and well!

May 2010 CR-1/IR-1 Filers Thread

“Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (Corinthians 13:4-7)
