Okay, it's not dropping from $404 to $230, it's dropping from $330 to $230. Remember, there's a $74 surcharge ($330 + $74 = $404). The new fee is $230, so $230 + $74 = $304. So, it's only $100 savings.

And wow, nice!!! :D That is an awesome deal for a t-shirt AND transfer! *gets money ready* :D

Wow SAYLIN! you went all out on the Sig! :lol::dance: hehe

Now that i got CC, can't wait to get interview date assigned ! C'mon NVC ! Open already it's almost Monday :lol:

Darnell, you are not the only one that has been trying... sometimes you just gotta give up trying to help and put the energy on someone who appreciates it!

Sorry but provoking people isn't fun, nor is it polite/mature. If we are all stressed out, maybe we're coming in here to relax/get answers/feel BETTER...not worse. And for the record, every time I s

Yes, Darnell is is arrogant, with a touch of conceitedness thrown in. He's straight forward and to the point, he doesn't sugar coat it, to the point that it's sometimes rude. Sometimes that's what peo

Hello Guys,

Glad to be part of this group finallllly....

I just got the approval on Friday and awaiting for the case to be received by the NVC..

Anyone has any clue how long it is taking currently to receive a case #?

Once again thanks for all the great posts and hope I can receive guidance from all of you seniors..

Grats on the recent approval!

It's currently taking around 3 weeks from approval to case number assigned. Check out my spreadsheet in my signature to see those around you waiting on dates.

Wow SAYLIN! you went all out on the Sig! :lol::dance: hehe

Now that i got CC, can't wait to get interview date assigned ! C'mon NVC ! Open already it's almost Monday :lol:

Hehe, thank you ^_^

And good luck on getting your interview date! Hope you get it soon yes.gif

Keep in mind, when you'll get an interview date is dependent upon when your case is complete at NVC.

You only start listing schools from the secondary standpoint (so high school and above).

So, for high school, put the course of study as 'Academic' and the degree or diploma field as 'Diploma' (if you graduated and got a diploma).

And then for university, put the course of study as the subject you studied. Mine was 'Social Science', so that's what I put. And then I just put 'College Diploma' in the last field. It's technically called a DEC (French for a college degree), but I didn't want to confuse NVC with Quebec terms headbonk.gif. If you earned a Bachelor's, then I'd put that yes.gif

Oh boy, I hope it's not an issue for me. I listed all educational institutions for elementary school, high school, and college. For elementary and high school, I put N/A for degree (just put dates down). Under course of study I just repeated "elementary school" and "high school", respectively.., hope that's not a major issue... For college it was easy. I put his major under course of study and "Bachelor's" under degree.

For mine, i asked Saylin and went with her suggestion:

Most present to past

1) college , under degree or diploma, i put Degree

2) high school, under degree or diploma, i put Diploma

3) previous high school, under degree or diploma, i put None

Time between each 1) to 2) 3 month difference,

2) to 3) 2 month difference

I didnt get any RFE.

thanks to Saylin

Hope you won't get any RFE, if you do then just edit and send it back :)
