shanon,

gosh there are no words for how sorry i am you have to go through this it's already a hard process without this mess. is there any chance that you will be able to go to the interview in october? i know the usc is not required to go but i feel confident that in our case for example that we would NOT have received an approval had i not been present. it is so unfair that we are at the whim of another person who can just decide your fate like that. my best thoughts are with you both.

mae!

sorry i missed the congrats on your wedding! i hope it was wonderful and you are enjoying your new life in the U.S.

Shannon, I'm very sorry to hear about all the bull, um....yeah. I hope everything works out.

Well still nothing here. I'm not the only one waiting, there are a bunch of us waiting on the Montreal consulate, looking like another couple months still for an interview.

Hello all! How's everybody doing? Got to say we got some good news :D Well, our AOS packet is on its way to Chicago and we are so glad that we won't have to pay the new fee. Everything went smoothly so far and we're hoping that it will keep up until the end. We're newlyweds but obviously, instead of going into our honeymoon, we worked like slaves in going here and there for the paperwork, assembling our packet and mailing it out right away. We did it! Now, the waiting begins again. I can't wait to be free from Immigration BS! :dance::dance::dance:

--Mae

P.S. Wedding pictures soon...

Congratulations David and Mae :)

I emailed Montreal on July 24, then decided to just call them on the 25th, while Jim was here.

The very NICE lady on the phone told me, August or September, but nothing else. I checked my email before we left to go spend a couple days in the States before he went home and got, it will be at LEAST 6 months. (from the NASTY lady :crying: )

When I came home, the Canadian forum was reassuring me I'm next in line on VJ for my interview, and that the email really meant from the time I filed... I'm going to try calling again later in the week.

Is there anyone here who hasn't heard anything about an interview yet, besides me?

Here are ours: http://picasaweb.google.com/JCandDiana/Wedding :wub::wub:

Sis Dianaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! (shout) Well, the AOS is like we're back to square one for me, worrying, stressing out, sleepless nights, etc. :lol: We managed to file before the fee hikes but I guess we're one of those who got stuck at the very bottom in their mailroom. Still waiting for our check to be cashed and it is taking so long. I am agitated and fidgeting everyday so I'm hoping and praying that USCIS will finally look through my case before I get old from too much stress and pressure.

On the lighter note... you are so darn sexy sistah! Wow, hot bride! :thumbs: Loved your pics and you and John look sooooooo happy! I am happy for you!

BTW, here's some of our pics... not much though... http://www.friendster.com/davidandmae

Take care and hope your AOS journey is going smoothly!

*hugs*
