Yay!!! Let the countdown begin. My husband's interview is in 34 days. God willing, everything goes smooth...he will be here in my arms in 43 days!!!

I hope everyone going through interviews will get approvals! I hope the CO's get in touch with their inner Oprah and just give away Approvals, "YOU GET AN APPROVAL! YOU GET AN APPROVAL! YOU GET AN APPROVAL! EVERYBODY GETS AN APPROVAAAAAAAL!" :)

(that's me getting in touch with my inner shsl73 -- i'm outgoing when I warm up to people. :))

Amen sister!!! Great vibes you are sending out!! Now if we can just get that interview date I will be on cloud nine!!

Hi, so I followed your advice and called nvc. According to the representative, my case was completed May 9. But visa is unavailable. They are processing November 2014 applications. So we are 6 months behind since we applied May 2015.

Yes! You can interrupt any programming on here anytime hehehe. Next week we switch places you come back to the US and get things ready and I go to Nigeria and get things done. But before I go just want to rub off on your victory as it was done to you so it shall be done to my hubby and I. In Jesus Name. Amen!

In Jesus Name, Amen! Amachuma you will have victory with your interview. We've already claimed it, so shall it be.

Safe travels on your journey to Nigeria! Definitely hope I can travel back there soon myself. Hubby will be here 2 weeks from today, but hoping I can use what's left of my 24 month visa before it expires. ;)

Just means someone is looking at it and getting things ready for your interview. nothing to worry about. it's a good thing.

there's a tiny piece of me that's worried because visa is not guaranteed, but I'm trying my best to leave it in God's hands.

Hey guys...just out of curiosity:

Our case has been recieved by the embassy and has been "touched" (updated) 3 times since then.

Does anyone know what they are actually doing when they update it?

Probably a stupid question, ahem...

26 days and 16 hrs until interview, wahh!

Hello Rosegrove!

How do you know the Embassy touch your case? where you can see that, I am also waiting for an interview in June 9, but Ceac said only "Ready"

Thanks a lot

Congratulations. But bring your albums if you want they do not keep your originals. It's fine.

Also I don't have you on the spreadsheet and you have no timeline. When was your CC and when did you get your Interview date? Thank you.

Oh, sorry! My first response to this was silly. If CC means case creation and not case complete like I first thought CEAC says 18 Aug, 2015. We paused our progress at the NVC level though so the time lapsed between creation and interview assignment is not indicative of current processing times for Montreal. We sent our paperwork in to get the ball rolling again on April 12, 2016.

edit: actually no this reply is sillier. Thread name durrrrrr

Edited by Hawthorn

6/23 - Approved!

Now to hope Canada Post doesn't strike before my passport arrives from the consulate :unsure:
