I checked the CEAC website and it says issued today. Guess it will be available for pick up next week. I would like to thank the members of this site for their support. We really appreciate it. This forum was absolutely a wonderful resource during this process.

There is a lot to be learned in this process and I hope to take away from positive things from it.

Congrats

Issued! The interview was on December 2nd, on the 5th SEAC status changed to Administrative Processing and today, on the 7th it says Issued. Now it's carved in stone finally and I am out of any doubt

I did do a lot of front loading. I even sent them a 25 page child art style book I made (which I let the kids color) that explained our whole story with pictures instead of words.

OMG! OMG! I'm so happy right now!!! I didn't think it would be possible, but guess I got really lucky!!!

Yesterday, I sent an email to the embassy, requesting a reschedule of my interview to an earlier date! I just told them that this distance between my husband and I has been taking its toll on us and that I really miss him. Also, that I'm eager to start a normal life, as husband and wife!

They called me today!!! They re-scheduled my interview for the 28th of December!!! The lady was so nice :D She asked me why I want to do my interview earlier, do I have already my flight tickets or something? And I told her it's not that, i wouldn't risk paying thousands of euros before having my visa in hand. The only reason is that I really miss my husband and I want to be with him as soon as possible. And she giggled and told me okay, we'll reschedule you for December 28th, at 1 PM.

I'm so happy!!! I can't wait for hubby to wake up so I can give him the news! (He doesn't know about the email that I sent).

That´s awesome !

Congrats !

This is amazing... Congratulations!!! I have to try this! Did you have to wait for confirmation that the file was at embassy to email your request?

So now what ? What do you need to do next ?

221(g) for an additional sponsor or else pile of US cash in a US bank. They didn't like my husband's employment letter as it mentioned a salary in CAD.

That's all though :)
