Is there any chance you can get expedited to avoid having to uproot yourself...?

We made a request to have it expedited in October, a couple of weeks before my work permit was due to expire. They denied it.

And because we're both in Canada, we can't make an InfoPass appointment or really talk to anyone to have it reviewed faster.

But I'm sure you'll be fine, July 2014 is a long time away and I think July filers are having better luck than those of us stuck earlier in the year! :)

Congratulations! Ours when over to CSC on the same days as you, so I'm praying that someone is looking at our case too!! Out of interest, did you get that 'your alien number has changed' email/text that lots of people mention on here before you got your approval notice?!

Congrats again

Thank you! Yaa!!Hopefully yours is next.It came as a shock, but it wouldn't make any sense for yours to not be coming up real soon! We got no notice of our alien number being changed, just an approval out of the blue.

wowww that's SO fast after it got there to get approval! So exciting! What now?? haha. I feel like I won't know what's next after approval. Congrats to you!

Thank you! Haha ya that's how I'm feeling, ok now what?! I've read so much but now its go time! Good thing it takes a bit to make it to NVC, that gives us time to let it soak in and get back to business!

Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for youuuuu dancin5hr.gif

Thank you so much!!! goofy.gif

Yay! Congrats! Our case also went to CSC on the same day as yours, so maybe we will be hearing something soon! Honestly, so happy for you!!! biggrin.pngbiggrin.pngbiggrin.png

Thank you! Yaaay! I hope so too for you! It seems like CSC is really pushing them through! Good luck, you're all on the NOA2 home stretch!
