Hi Priscila... no, we still didn't get our NOA2 yet, we got our NOA1 on December 28th which it means we might get our NOA2 by the end of this month or so (3 months), can't wait for it. I wish I could share my anxiety with someone that is the same situation as me ? lol

Anyways we will see it, hopefully I will have good news soon.

Good luck for us. ?

 

You can share your frustration and anxiety with me since we've got the same NOA1 date ;)

We just scheduled our visa interview!  Montreal has the reputation of being backed up for 2-6 months, but we were able to schedule our interview for the end of April!  Sending love to all of you who are still waiting.  Things really do move quickly after NOA2.

Hello and congratulations! How did you get notification that your case had arrived at the NVC? we have an NOA2 notice of 2/23/17 and have yet to hear from the NVC. Just curious and thank you for a reply.
