WHAT!????!!!!!!!

First... I totally sympathize with all of us awaiting our approvals and especially TSC folks that have to wait longer... but I have to say.. your timeline and posts GIVE ME HOPE that it'll happen.. eventually!

This is a process that we all have to go through.. Some are luckier than others.. and there are some that takes EXTRA long for various reasons... Please understand TSC'rs I'm NOT trying to pick an argument... but what I LOVE about our "November filers family" here is that we SUPPORT each other and we're happy (and sad) for the experiences we're all going through.

I say fly your "timeline flag" with pride... I'm happy that you'll be with your fiance soon.... CONGRATS AND HUGS!!!!

Ah Romet, you are the best! Sending love and hugs right back!

CONGRATS PHEEBS!!! SUPER EXCITED FOR YOU AND YOUR FIANCE! The process is different for all of us, and I've truly appreciated everyone's help and am truly grateful for everyone's individual experiences... no matter what the time.. we are all here with the goal of helping each other. So I'm writing this to say thank you Pheebs... and to everyone else.

Thanks so much!

Congratulations! So excited for you! :D Interview sounds like a total breeze, my fiancée will be happy to hear it. How long did you wait outside before they let you in, and was it a long wait inside?

I got there at 7.40am and was inside at about 8.10am. I posted a UK consulate review with more details :) I'd recommend getting there as close to 7am as possible! It was soooo cold out there and by the time I left (10am) the queue was even huger!

Just had someone who has never spoken to me before PM me and ask me to change my signature because it hurt them to see my fast approval/my complaint regarding USPS taking so long to deliver my package, so I've hidden it in a spoiler. I deeply sympathise with what all the TSC filers are going through, and I have no wish to aggravate anyone, but I think asking me to change it was slightly unfair, however I have done so because I really don't want to be causing anyone unnecessary grief! Anyway, the reason I am posting is to appologise if my signature upset any other TSC filers, or anyone at all for that matter, I didn't mean to be insensitive. :no:

That's crazy, I think that person might be a bit overly sensitive.... I also say just leave your signature as it was! I really feel for the TSC people but we didnt pick CSC, it was assigned.

Anyone that has wings with a big heart answer this please.. We have the same question ???

Thank you very much in advance!

I think I read in another thread that you can put either, but I used my CSC one starting with WAC and I had no problems (I have an interview date).

Did they mail or email you the Packet 3 and RFE? Why did you get so many police clearance, I think all you need is the Canada Police clearance correct? Please let me know what the RFE is for, copy of work permit?

I received it from mail, (ordinary), I am a national of Philippines, so I need clearance from there, I lived 10 years in hongkong, and so I need another 1 from there too and I am more than a year here at Canada, definitely I need a clearance here too ? the RFE is my legal status here at canada, yes it's my working permit, but the link they provide for me to send it is confusing, they said I need to email it in the link they provided but when I opened it, it is a website!
