Congratulations. You are updated.

Thank you :)

Wow, I am glad to hear you got the interview date. Looking at your timeline, things have moved really fast for you, especially once you got to the NVC.

Congrats. Today was the day lol.

How does it feel lol.

Today was the day for Canada appointments, for sure!

Feels like...I wish I'd been able to book flights a while ago, it's going to cost some bank to get there. :(

I'm trying to get an estimated timeframe from case complete to interview and I don't see Belize on the case complete/interview spreadsheet.

Can anyone tell me where I may be able to find this information?

My only suggestion, if you were not able to find it on the spreadsheet...take a look in your country portal's and Belize member's timeline's and estimate from there.

Some users have included their case complete date in their signature.

Ok so the new status after a 23rd Oct. CC and an email confirming the CC on the 30th oct., is we are put on a supervisor review. What does that even mean after a CC? We called, and of course could not get hold of a supervisor who could throw some light on what's happening. We had no checklists or anything at any point in the process. Anyone?

I am in shock!!! NVC just sent an email to my husband that they have approved our expedite request, and that any further questions we have regarding processing and interview dates should be addressed to the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi!! I will be calling them on Sunday ( the start of the week here in the Middle East) to get my interview date!! ????
