My fiancé had his medical exam Tuesday as well and same! He had to get three shots (one of them being the flu shot). He also got his packet for the embassy that same day. They even gave him a sealed envelope for use when we adjust his status after marriage. It all went very smoothly, it was a long afternoon (he was there from 2-almost 7) but he said it was worth it and we are feeling so much closer to the finish line.

 

His interview is on the 14th of July but unfortunately I won't be able to join him for that. Do you think that will have a negative impact on how things go at the interview? It's not mandatory that we be present, is it?

No it is not mandatory.  Colombia happens to allow the fiance to be accompanied by the US Citizen petitioner.  Not all countries allow this.  But, I was in a position that I could make this trip and be with her for this.  If anything it helps prove authentic and bonafide relationship thru physical evidence (me actually there), which is a big factor in the interview process, especially in Colombia I've heard.  But if you are not there with him, then just have a good relationship evidence packet put together as specified in Colombia Fiance Packet 3/4.

Hey fellow Canadians, some of you have mentioned you had to resend packet 3 multiple times. How did you know to resend it or not? I sent mine on Monday 19th and still have not received an answer. I did receive the confirmation that it was indeed received and that they normally answer within a 10 business days range...Which would be tomorrow...They are observing Canadian Day on the Monday 3rd.

How did you get  to talk to Tier 2? Any tips and tricks?

 

I was never able to convince the person on the phone to transfer me to Tier 2...

 

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always get transferred to a tier 2 officer. Just be calm and be nice as much as possible (i know it's hard). Don't ask them right away to transfer you. Let them do their job and help you first. I usually ask for my current status. Then politely tell the tier 1 that you called few weeks ago and was able to speak to a tier 2 officer and he/she informed you that your case is still... (tell them the status). Then tell them that tier 2 asked you to call again some time this week to follow up.

When you track it with your number NVC gives you, it will say Ready on the CEAC tracker

Thanks. That's what I thought

Haha yeah this whole process has been a trip, thank god for this forum otherwise I would be clueless.

Yes, we are definitely in the same batch. I don't know about you, but I am finally starting to relax, after months and months of uncertainty.

This is so trippy...I checked my NVC case status in the morning, it said "at NVC" then again 3 hours later and it said "Ready" then checked again a couple of minutes ago and it says "at NVC". I can't be making this up, i even updated my timeline with the details given when it said Ready..

EDIT: Nevermind. Already figured it out! Ignore post 

 

 

 

Sorry this is probably something that has been asked but I can't find it anywhere!!

 

I just called NVC and got my case number. I checked the status and it says "At NVC", which is what the woman told me.

 

My questions:

1. How will I know when it gets sent to the Embassy? What will the status say? 

2. When can I make my appointment? What will the status say?

 

Again, sorry if this is a redundant post! And thanks, of course, for your help!!!

I definitely feel more calm as well!  

Now that it's coming up pretty quick I almost can't believe it.

Guys,  do the US Citizen needs the CENOMAR when my fiance will have her interview innthe Philippines?

we are confuse because some people said she have to bring 2 CENOMR's with her. 

Pls help.

I have a question... How long does it usually take to receive Packet 4 after sending Packet 3? My case says "READY" since Jun 19th. I sent Packet 3 required documents to Montreal via email on Jun 23, but still haven't received Packet 4. It's been a week  Is this normal? Should I send it again?

 

BTW, I haven't received anything directly from the Consulate in Montreal. Should I expect anything besides Packet 4?

I am on the same boat, but I sent everything on the 19th and still nothing. I have received an email confirming they received my email and should answer within 10 business days normally.

Hi guys, tomorrow Friday is going to be the 59th day since USCIS received my response to their RFE. They asked me to wait for 60 days before I call them again. Any chance they would help me tomorrow, especially weekend and July 4th are coming...
