Couldn't agree more with you Kikapoo. Even if I'd get RFE in NVC it's not as worst as how I feel with USCIS. But I hope no RFE You're counted that's why you were invited! Yes, that would be THE

Crazy that I was thinking the same that the holidays are over so the NVC can get back to work. I could not really enjoy the holidays because the NVC is slow. Will our waiting ever end???

You're very welcome! I hope mine's easy as well. I'm concerned my two previous denials into the US will come up, but hopefully it won't be a big deal.

I was already planning on bringing a completed DS-230, just in case. Hopefully, Montreal gets updated with the new DS-260s soon. It's already been a few months now that the DS-260 has been mandatory. What's taking them so long? headbonk.gif

And I was planning on putting my big immigration folder in a plastic grocery bag. No purse for me, as weird as it will be.
