NVC Filers - March 2012

[Saylin 1,605]

If they mess it up, I'll whack them with their own handbook! I figured I'd come prepared. I'll be nice about it.. I promise! I would hate to get this far then cause an international incident!

Haha, print out that portion of the handbook and shove it in their face if they look confused or disagree with you

Don't hurt your noggin with that hammer! I had that thought before too, and was SO confused the first time I went through Toronto! But then again, that airport messes with my head...so badly...

I love Minneapolis too, and Trav loves it even more! He doesnt' even take the tram anymore and requests a longer layover so he can just walk between terminals. It's a really nicely laid out airport and the walkways are pretty nifty LOL...what's a Sbarro??

Yeah, took me a second to figure out why you did POE in Toronto and not Winnipeg. I need my sleep

And yeah, I'm flying back to Canada in June, and of course my layover will be in Minneapolis, and I'm making sure it's a long layover so I can enjoy it. And oh my gosh, I forgot about the tram until you just mentioned it! That was my first airport tram and when I first went on it, I'm like oooooo. And yes the walkaways are pure awesome.

And Sbarro is a pizza place

Awful pizza sold in airports and travel centers...

[...]

Hey now, it's not awful! I love it! I always go to that Sbarro when I'm in Minneapolis!

oh it's beautiful here! But still the middle of no where!

I'm going to do my best to not eat much on the trip (as if I could LOL), because Trav's promised to take me for dinner to one of two places (Sonny's or Cracker Barrel...we haven't decided yet, unless we go for slightly fancier which I doubt lol). So...well, as yummy as pizza sounds - Sbarro will have to wait lol. And wow, is it ever beautiful there. One of my favorite places on earth! Middle of nowhere is pretty much perfect.

Random question!

What's the "instruction package" in the NVC section of the immigration timeline for CR-1/IR-1? Was I supposed to receive that prior to case completion, or is it the email in which you get your interview date?

On a similar note, our case number on the USCIS website still says "Initial Review." Oh bureaucracy.

I lived in Canada for four years, and I have to say that Sbarro DOES seem excellent in comparison to the Canadian pizza I had

The instruction package in the timeline is referring to the DS-230 package.

And wow, still on initial review, eh? Silly USCIS

LOL...sleep well Saylin! And ooooh - if I POE when you're going through, and I see someone on the walkways that looks like you once landed in Minneapolis...I'm sticking my hand out while standing on the opposing walkway for a high five Something about a stationary-yet-moving 5 really intrigues me!

Thanks I really need the sleep. I've been lacking sleep these last few weeks >_<

And my expected flying dates are June 1 and June 7th. And I'd definitely high-five you! Then probably turn around to accompany you for a nice chat while waiting for our flights

We have Sbarro in Toronto, but I never eat there, haha.

Favourite pizza place on the PLANET

Their best pizza:

drooooool

Ahh, you have Sbarro's in Toronto?! Lucky As far as I know, there's none in Sbarro. Closest place was in Plattsburgh, NY (where I was first introduced to it).

And ugh, you have Cici's there too?! Where I lived in Florida for 2 years, there was a Cici's too. My first one and LOVED it. Wish there was either of those places here in this tiny South Dakota town

Alright, I'm going to bed now... hungry... will probably dream of pizza

Night everyone!

Ohh! We could have a chat in Sbarro! I've never been, LOL Your dates are actually when I was hoping to fly so we may just cross paths I'll keep you posted!

NVC keeps telling me the same... to wait 15 days from NOA2, but i still call anyway...

I just called NVC at ~6:30 pm EST, after repeatedly getting a busy signal (weird), I waited a solid 11 minutes then 'Cindy' told me that the case is in the building but hasn't been scanned into the system...grrrr (Cindy was really nice though)

We've got similar dates, meno-is-mine. I'm hoping we get case numbers this week!

I just woke up and reading posts from last night... You guys crack me up

Cool!!! I sure hope so!!! I keep calling. No dates yet, but I'm not so sad. USCIS wait was the worst and I survived that. This isn't so bad, but I will still keep calling... Hehe

LOL!!! That's awesome!

Good morning people, our case will surely be completed this week, in Jesus name. My wife will mail our joint sponsor proof of citizenship this morning via USPS ( express mail). NVC will receive it wednesday. I am now expecting to have a CC the same wednesday or thursday. Friday will be the day where another step of the process begin. I claim it in Jesus's Name! AMEN!

Another UK case complete! Now to keep an eye on when everyone gets their interview dates. Gutted that I'm almost guaranteed to miss my Sister-in-Law's wedding in 6 weeks, but I'll be happy if I can make it for Emily's birthday in 8 weeks. Fingers are crossed
