Just received our NOA2 - 12 days! Wow...was not expecting that. CSC is certainly approving petitions fast these days. While I'm definitely excited, my thoughts and prayers are with those going through

its frustrating to see people we file before them getting approvals whiles we are stuck wherever we are

Will this processing times ever improved.. oh TSC what's going on???

What's going on is they're backlogged and had a GOOOOOD holiday season, hahaha. According to a researcher on here's conclusion, it may start to pick up and get to 5.5 month processing again. Hopefully soon! :)

Thanks everyone!! We decided i will fly on the 26th, just to be sure i have the visa, and it will give me some more time to prepare :)

avrora9002. Congratulation happy for you please can you tell us the question they ask you in the interview ? :idea::idea::goofy::goofy:

Hmm let's see...

She asked: How did we meet?

What is he working?

How old am I? How old is he?

Have me met again after I left the US in September?

How many times have I been to US?

How did we communicate the past months? (she took a quick look at our skype chat logs)

Where are we going to get married?

Have I met his parents?

What do my parents think about this?

What do I love about my fiance?

That was all, if I remember correctly :sleepy:

Just thought I would do an update on where we are at. I just sent the barcode confirmation for the DS-160 and emailed the checklist back to the Vancouver consulate on Jan.10th. Hoping for a February interview or early March interview! In the mean time I am getting a few vaccinations I know I need so that when I get confirmation of my interview date, I can book the medical asap!

If you emailed your packet 3 to Vancouver they will respond back with packet 4 within a day. Then you can setup your interview then book with Dr. Cheema. I'm flying to Vancouver from Calgary this Friday for my Dr. Cheema medical then on the 20th will have my consulate interview.

All the best - things really go fast now!
