Wow! Nice job. It's looking like emailing your docs in is the way to go. That was very quick.

yeah, that's why I am still kind of in shock. Hoping it's not some flub in the system.. lol

Agreed on emailing the docs, guess it makes sense as there is less chance of something getting lost.

And thanks for the good vibes and well wishes!! :goofy:

Woo-Hoo!! Checked CEAC today and it took longer than usual to log in, then BAM! 3 N/A's!!! I called NVC to ask if something changed and she said my case is being finalized as the N/A is there but greyed out. She said we should be getting an email in the next 5 - 7 days regarding the interview in Montreal. I started crying at my desk at work.. lol

The hubby completed the DS-260 last Wednesday and I submitted the supporting docs via email last Thursday.

Was your scan date 1/6, and you got your Case Complete today!? This gives me hope that maybe I have a CC too! I was told two different things and am not completely sure.

Well Jason completed the DS 260 last Wednesday the 6th, then I emailed the AOS and supporting documents to the NVC on Thursday. I called NVC last Friday to make sure they had everything and the rep said that when you email them in it's different then mailing as there technically is no scan date since it's electronic. I was good with that answer.
