I think it's the best feeling in the world when the immigration process becomes almost predictable - and then does what you expect :)

I knew that Monday was a holiday, so the NVC voice system wouldn't update until today rather than Tuesday as usual... so I called this morning and my case was complete!!! I'm so excited :D

The way things have been working with cases going to Montreal it's actually really possible that we'll have an April interview, which I had totally given up on!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but thankfully we only have to wait a few weeks to find out.

Good luck to everyone waiting, Jame's Shortcuts DEFINITELY pay off!!

Congrats riblet.. I was kinda :angry: when I read your post, since I had sent all my doc's in before you, and when I called and talked to the NVC yesterday they said it was still being reviewed. So I called the automated message system this morning and guess what.. MY CASE WAS ALSO COMPLETE!!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Doesn't it feel good?

Congrats again.

devblt - Glad I was able to share the Wednesday updating info :) I'm sure it made your day, just as it made mine. I guess that's the one benefit of going through the NVC during Christmas & New Years, and all the holidays were on Mondays, I figured it out pretty quickly :)

kyle_lairic - sorry you were delayed, good luck!!

Congratulations!

I think it's the best feeling in the world when the immigration process becomes almost predictable - and then does what you expect :)

I knew that Monday was a holiday, so the NVC voice system wouldn't update until today rather than Tuesday as usual... so I called this morning and my case was complete!!! I'm so excited :D

The way things have been working with cases going to Montreal it's actually really possible that we'll have an April interview, which I had totally given up on!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but thankfully we only have to wait a few weeks to find out.

Good luck to everyone waiting, Jame's Shortcuts DEFINITELY pay off!!
