Yeah for progress!!!!🎉🎉🎉😊

Exactly!! Progress ... I was talking to Kseniya just now and I mentioned, you know I should send them a box of donuts so they can pick up the pace a little bit ... then my phone went off, "See Honey," I said ...  "just the mere mention of the donuts seemed to have some effect for our good friends at USCIS" :jest:

I should be the one saying sorry for mine (ignorance), because I'm not that familiar with the process for Canada. I just advised someone else to ask some people from your country on the March thread.

I've seen this post that seems quite accurate, but, again, better to check with other Canadians along with the Embassy website.

Did your notice go out yesterday as well? We are in the same batch as we got a notice today saying it was sent yesterday. Let's hope we get it before the holiday so we have the extra day to prepare and shoot it back to them Tuesday morning

I checked the tracker this morning before the email came and it was still showing the received date of 4/6. Maybe it's since updated? Have you checked your email? I feel like they batch send stuff out..

It will come.  Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but it will come.  Just keep on hanging in there.  The longest part is behind us, and the prize of being with our loved ones is getting closer and closer.  I really believe that we will have great news in the next week or two.

 

One day more. One day less.  One day closer.

Yes. My email is always on so I have notifications when an email comes in. So far, nothing yet. I hope I get the noa2 this week. It's gonna be 5 months for me in two days :(

Yeah, today marks my 5 months, and I'm still in "response to RFE" mode. And yesterday was my fiance's birthday, and we've been apart for about 1.5 years now. After being together for 2 years. 

 

Hang in there. It will come

The Tier 2 told me that i had an RFE ordered on Monday.  Does anyone know roughly the time it takes to get the mail form?

 

If it's coming from California, and you're on the east coast, generally 5 business days. That's what it took for mine.

Ok, i still haven't got an email about the RFE or tracker change.  I'm just going off of what the Tier 2 told me.  Did that happen to you?
