Hello fellow Canucks.

Just to keep you all apprised of our case. We logged in yesterday and got three NA's.

Also, wife got a job in the city where we are moving back too.

This morning my wife got a phone call from the NVC requesting her tax returns from 2013, 2014, and her job offer letter. Which is weird because since she hasn't lived in the US, hence she made no income, but made plenty of income here in Canada, so they wanted her Canadian tax return for the years noted above.

congrats again.

that's awesome that she got a job....things are working out just perfectly for you. isn't life great when things go as planned? :)

Race you to the back of the elevator. According to Saylin, thats the hot spot.

I'm going to put your worries to an end then. I had my interview Wednesday and my passport is available for pick up today. That's 2 days. Now if you go back and look at Canadians over the past months,

Merry Christmas to you all as the holidays loom upon us! I still have this thread followed, and just want to express that Saylin's general NVC thread is still a wealth of information that would help

from what I've seen around here, 7 days from CC to email seems to be about the only consistent thing! LOL

Sounds like your daughters will make CC/interview in time for school to start, and hopefully, the NVC will find that lost document for you. Good luck!

Anyone receive their actual green card yet? How long did it take from POE?

My lovely bank will not add my husband to my account without his actual green card. They will not accept the stamped Visa :|

It's a bank that services the NSA, so I guess they have enhanced security requirements.

Oh well, we're used to waiting...
