oh no. https://www.ontario.ca/page/get-or-replace-ontario-birth-certificate#section-4 it can take 15 business days + delivery to request one. and my interview is in 14 days exactly.

That really sucks. You may end up having to do the premium service option? I think this process is meant to suck us dry of all money...

Hello Canadians, at the interview did you need a long-form birth certificate? The one I have is just card-size and quite worn. I am not sure if I should request a new one which we do have to pay for. @gob332 @eastcoastgroove @calahjosh931 @PR&PR

I believe you need your long form.  I only knew this from reading this forum, so I ordered one far in advance.  I believe it came within 2 weeks in New Brunswick.  I would definitely order one and if it doesn't come in time, try with your small one. Worst that will happen is they will make you send it in once you get it.  Maybe there is an option to expedite it too when ordering??

As a Quebecer all I have is a long form, but I have read that you do need the long form indeed, it is even written on USCIS website: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country/CA.html

We only have the long form in Manitoba too.

But you said you got a letter from NVC. So, how did you notified? Will the beneficiary receive a email or phone call/txt message.

I (US citizen/petitioner) got a letter in the mail from NVC about a week after I had called them and received the case number. It included the NVC case number and other details and advised the case has been sent to the embassy.

My fiancé (the petitioner) received an email... but I called and got my case # the day before he got the email. We were an electronic file. No Hard letter saying NVC got our case. (from my understanding we are suppose to receive something in the mail with packet 3.. but packet 3 is also online so I'm sure the letter is coming.. just takes some time).. ill use the online system prior to the mail anyway.

Scott has sent me the documents with DHL Express.
It took about 36 hours and was 49 bucks.

Good to know this in case it ever did come down to an urgent need of getting them there...
Was it DHL that actually delivered the mail to you or someone else once it got to Germany?

Hi, April filer here! 

Just wondering how many of you March filers are still waiting for NOA2?

I know a few of you have decided to join the April forum now after feeling 'left behind' but I'm wondering how many more of you there are! 

Wishing you all the best of luck

There are plenty of Marchies left........ Some I can think of right off include.....   @Ste&Sel @SimplyBlessed @AfricanQ @FutureMrsBennett and from February filing is @Camie

 

They don't do them in order, that's for sure!

Hi Dear March Whiners,

I haven't been on the forum for a great while, but was wondering if there are still many people waiting for NOA2?

We're at a 150 day mark now...

My opinion only..... and for good reasons, I believe that you have to be very close to approval

 

Are you calling Tier 2 at least every week?

Feel free to come and join us on the April forum . I know it can feel quite overwhelming seeing everyone moving on without you

I have submitted my congression inquiry from my case receive march 16. On day 160 now. Hoping this somehow forces them to look at Colombia cases again. There are still 3 other Colombians in march that have not received approval and no Aprils. I assume there is some freeze on Colombia approvals currently and I am hoping this inquiry dislodges that freeze.

[Ste&Sel 151]

I have just sent a letter, and 13 other pages to see about expedite based upon our nonprofit needs to my Senator, of course at day 163 do consider this expedite at this point. Praying for us and every other March filer still left.....do see there is quite a few with similar case #'s as mine still open....so we don't feel totally left int he dust.

Aug 4th I prepared a 17 pg packet and faxed to my Senators office for a USCIS inquiry into the status of my 129f. I called to confirm receipt. They told me 3 to 5 days it would be assigned to casework. 12 days later they said it would be assigned to casework in a week or so.  They never did anything with it before I received NOA2 19 August. On 20 August I called and thanked them but to never mind- It resolved itself.  Today I received an email from the Senator:
