NVC Filers - April 2012

Your timeline shows it wook USCIS 1 year to approve your I-130, am i not mistaking?

They had to have one of those rare interviews during their I-130 process. That holds things up quite a bit.

YUH...MMEH! Sushi AND poutine...that is AMAZING!

And I'm gonna wear my shirt on the flight I'll let you know how many comments I get.

That's an awesome idea...keep a count! (Maybe I should sell 'em? )

[Saylin 1,605]

Ya, no kidding! I'm not gonna tell Mr. Sheeshka. I'll answer skype that evening at his parent's house and see how long it takes him to figure out where I am

It's a little earlier than what I wanted, but I'll spend an extra few days in Winnipeg eating sushi and poutine while drinking timmy's with Shell

Ohh, that sounds like an awesome plan!!

Enjoy the poutine for me Can't wait to have some in June!

I've been thinking about wearing my shirt when flying to Canada in June. Wonder what the border officers would say

Thanks. I'm not holding my breath, but thanks for the hope...

for me, i have no choice then to leave it to God, now i am focusing on June interview, enough time for our co sponsor to get her tax return transcript 2011 ready to be sent to me in Haiti. " The dark threatening cloud however has a silver lining "

Don t you think it is an error in the date that he is adding to complete his timeline?

We shall have a toast to you over our bowls!

I was just thinking to myself.. what do I tell customs..

"I'm here for my husband's interview in Montreal."

"Then why are you in Winnipeg?"

"Uh slight detour for sushi.."

I'll probably stick with my usual story, I'm here to visit family and friends for the summer.

That's a good way to look at it. Trying to find the silver lining...gonna look until I find it...

Just stick with visiting family and friends. If they further inquire, then tell them. As I learned, don't offer anything unless they ask. Stick to the point.

And pray for a nice officer

Good Luck Rujby. Soon this will be a distant memory and you'll finally be home with your wife and soon to be born daughter.

I don't think so, they had to have an interview at a USCIS office during the process. That adds a lot of time.

Trav followed that advice on his last visit when he got pulled into secondary. went like this:

"You come here a lot. That's a lot of luggage for a weekend."

"Yes, sir. I know. I am visiting family and friends."

"How much money can you access?"

"about 1500 dollars."

"Are you married?"

"Yes, sir."

"Do you live with your wife?"

"not right now, no."

"Do you drink?"

"I'm a youth pastor, sir. That's not a good idea."

"Oh yeah, guess you want to be a good example...*insert random small talk and jokes here, and insert Trav realizing his blood sugar is plummeting here as well*"

"Yes, I try to be a good example."

"Enjoy your visit!"

*insert happy tearful hug by me and Trav looking at the guards apprehensively*

..."Shell, hug me when I've got a doughnut and we're outside. I have a story for you..."

LOL i know...maybe he should be the one interviewing

[meno-is-mine 37]

I have fantastic news...well for me anyway

My uncle has credit card bonus ####### he has to use up with Discover, there's nothing he can use it for, or wants but it gives miles for United Airlines.. and he has enough I can get a ticket to winnipeg for $30, but it HAS to be before May 11th. So tomorrow I'm booking my ticket to sunny (maybe) Manitoba

NICE!!!

Email sent to congress, with Trav and his mom copied. I'm SO tired. We'll see what they come back with.

Hope it turns out ok...
