Called NVC this evening and they received my case yesterday... Whoo!! The girl was really sweet and after she said it would take 30 business days and she heard my reaction she said, "I know it's hard, but at least it's here." Lol

Saylin, please update the spreadsheet. Received at NVC on 2/27/14. Thanks!!

For those of you keeping track because of their own cases, NOA2 was 2/19/2014 from CSC.

Also, does anyone know how long it is taking to receive a interview date for Paris, France? Trying to look at the big picture and figuring out when I can see my hubby again... Preferably when he comes to the US to stay lol.

If you are not a Canadian citizen yes... with proof of your valid visa.

Thank you for your reply.

I am Canadian citizen, then I do not need to prove residency.

Is it in DS-260? I do not have a case number yet.

Thank you again.

Kind regards,

The I864 specifically does not need to be notarized.

Thank you for your reply.

I am Canadian citizen, then I do not need to prove residency.

Is it in DS-260? I do not have a case number yet.

Thank you again.

Kind regards,

Lukiduki

No you don't need to prove residency which is why it's weird that the other person is having to when they're also a Canadian citizen.
