I generally agree with what you have to say on this forum but I must take exception with this last statement. Maybe we should in more cases down here but it just ain't our way or Boston harbor would

136 people aren't going to change a law. 136,000 people maybe. The count is so low because we at VJ are such a very very very small piece of the prospective immigrants out there. Also, I didn't "come

Thanks! Also I noticed that you received you package 3... and you received your NOA2 around the same time as me...

I still haven't received any indication that my consulate received my case and I didn't receive package 3.

I'll have to call again today. I wasn't able to reach any one at the NVC last night.

I'll tell you, you take control of your file at this stage! Mine went by so fast because I really was ON IT. Basically once i got the text that told me it was sent to NVC, I called NVC everyday until they told me they had received it, then I still called until they gave me the MTL number, then I called everyday until I knew it had left. I gathered all the info I needed and prepared my packet 3 response. Once it had left I monitored the CEAC website and the second it said "ready" I sent in my packet 3. 2 days later they emailed me packet 4 and I booked my interview right away. Keep on top of things it really speeds up. My fiancé just sent me a picture of a letter we've received yesterday saying the NVC had sent our file to the Montreal consulate. My interview has been booked for since Monday. Thank god I didn't wait for them!!!! Good luck!!

I dont have all the docs because my fiance is in the navy and currently deployed... I just need to get in touch with nvc so I can get my case number then afterwards call the consulate about my particular situation. Im gathering proof of our relationship... so to be honest im not that in a rush. Only thing that worries me is the expiration on the noa2.

. Im worried about the expiration of my NoA2 as well. I just renewed my passport Im waiting to get it. I dont think I can schedule an interview with ab expired passport. I know its my fault. I should have renewed it earlier. Hopefully I shod be able to schedule in a week.

its funny that you mentioned the passport. I have to renew mine too I just realised it will expire in less than 6 months so I have to renew it .

by the way I received packet 3 from my consulate today :) is it possible to ask for an extension for gathering the docs my fiance has no way to send me docs while hes out in the sea lol even just a month more will help.

well guys, i got a letter from my congressman's office today. uscis states that my case was flagged and needs additional background checks. they also said they have no idea when the background checks will be completed. they stated in the letter that this is a matter of national security...

this is hilarious and complete bs. i'm 24 years old with NO record. i've never been married and have no children. i'm a college graduate and am employed full-time. this is just ridiculous. becca and i have decided to explore our options of me going up to canada. she has a lot of opportunities up there and i can work from anywhere. this has been a huge waste of time.

wow thats crazy. But maybe they just need to do additional background checks and of course anything that involves immigration is a matter of national security. Just be a little more patient you will get your NOA2 if you have nothing to hide. Where would you move to in Canada?

We were exactly in the same situation as you both, and security checks lasted for 2months. The good news is you've probably already been in security checks for a while as i figured before, so you might not have long to wait!

It's funny because it sounds like we have similar backgrounds, similar age, also a graduate, been working, no marriage/kids, no history of anything - not even a parking ticket! We'll never know why the FBI was checking us out for so long, but the good news is once you're out of that, it took 2 days before we were approved!

After getting a request for evidence in early august, TSC recieved my response sept 4th, and we got accepted sept 11th :). Almost an 8 month wait, in the last two months i had my congressman hassling tsc for me, im not sure if it helped. Just wanted to share hoping it can keep others positive! I was worried, they said allow 60 days for a response to my new evidence, but it took just over a week. Hoping its smooth sailing from here! Hang in there everyone, keep on keepin on!
