Don't worry, there's 2 of us in the same exact situation as you! It's probably because your local office for the fingerprints is busy.. (Mine is Dallas and very busy from what i've heard). You'll get some news soon

We did our Walk-in Biometrics schedule today....it was a successful one! .....ASC here in fort myers, is not soo busy. After fill-up some forms, we did our fingerprinting after announcing two people and It's our turn right away...so quick and easy. They're very nice and doing excellent job!

Mathew did his biometrics today and the charleston office was absolutely deserted. He was in and out in 10 minutes.

Now I'm just waiting for our case to resume processing.

Canadians always take SO much longer than alot of other countries.... *stomps*

Or they lose all of our paperwork...

I think they really have something against canadians haha!!

[brightskte 18]

I'll never understand why they think it's so fun to lose our paperwork. Thank goodness what they lost of ours wasn't something that took some time to replace.

My husband just got his biometrics letter this morning (that must have been why there were the touches on 8/9). His appointment is on Sept. 3. I am not sure if we will attempt a walkin appointment or not. I have to check out the Grand Rapids, MI Application Service Center to find out.

I think things on the immigration/paperwork front got more stringent post Janet Napolitano taking the job at Homeland Security. I know in my former job w. the Canadian government, EVERYTHING on an international level went insane after she became Secretary. A nice little sampling of her I-Don't-Trust-Canada stance is here (from 2009):

Blah.

Anyways: I have a good friend whose husband (from France) sent his AOS/EAD/AP on the very same day as I did (Chicago got both of our things on July 22nd). Guess who has their biometrics appointment letter in hand already (as of yesterday)? AND nothing was lost and/or RFE's of any variety.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy for ANYONE going through this process quickly and unscathed, but based on almost 2 years' worth of observation, Canadians have their work cut out for them compared to ALOT of other countries.

Mine is Dallas as well I guess that is why it seems like it is taking forever to hear anything.

[brightskte 18]

Just got the email that our case is back to processing. Now hopefully they wont need anything else.

But knowing my luck they'll have lost his medical, too and we'll get another RFE for that. I hope not, but with as many medicals as they've been losing lately for Canadians I'm expecting it.

Hey, don't worry - in the end, you'll be fine, you'll get the GC - it might just take a while. Our K-1 journey took foreeever, also because of events we couldn't have foreseen and that were beyond our responsibility. Meanwhile, a now good friend of mine just rushed through the entire process from I-129f to visa in hand in merely 5 months... It took me more than a year after I was refused entry to come back to my honey. It just takes patience and a lot of strength. Good luck. I'm sure you'll get your appointment tomorrow - btw it depends on how fast USPS works, too.

Anyway, good luck
