Well folks, this will probably be my last post until I return from the Philippines with my fiance (AHHHHHH!!!!!! still can't believe it). I will fly out tomorrow morning and will arrive at midnight on the 15th (his time). Best wishes to you all! The journey is long, but it does eventually end. Thank you all for the support and always being there to answer all of my silly questions! <3 

So happy for your! Safe journeys and all the best for your future life together

Hi!

We got our NOA2 today (yaaaaaaaaaaayyy) and we are wondering if we should call the NVC, or is it too early?

Also, for a Canadian, what is the window we should expect for POE? I know it's not an easy answer but some sort of educated min-max-likely would be helpful.

Thank you in advance!

I'm getting the same thing today!! In the little window I see the date of 2/6/18 and Page 1 of 1. Who has insight on what the different letters look like.. I HOPE this is not a "thank you for your call THREE weeks ago, however you are still within processing times..." My mail gets here so late in the day and I'm afraid I've already gotten my hopes up. I called in and of course Tier 1 has no other information than what I have.. "RECEIVED" 🙄 I didn't push further for Tier 2 but I'm so anxious!!! Ahhhhh!!! 

APPROVAL - Congrats!

RFE ....

 

The USCIS is rejecting my notarized Certificate of Divorce Absolute issued by The State of Massachusetts Probate and Family Court

 

also ..

 

saying they do not have indication of intent to marry from Danjiao.  Could have sworn we included a letter with a clear cut statement. 

 

Rapid Visa checked over all this ...... 

 

I sense a pissing match with USCIS ..... headed down to the Probate Court right now to tell them that the FEDS do not think much of their documentation.  WARNING to others who have the misfortune of living in Massachusetts.

AGH - They often say that they want a renewed letter of intent... the divorce thing is just annoying, but hey - its movement!

I did not get anything and I have read that in France they do not send packet 3 anymore, but to do the ds-160, then create an account on the US visa website, pay the fees and book the interview date.

All we got is an email from NVC stating that our case left to the embassy in Paris and then on the nvc case tracker it was already to "READY".. 

 

Does the piece of paper you mentioning is called ds-2001"notification of applicant readiness" ? 

 

I will call NVC monday and then the embassy !

Seems like our processes are different then. I wasn't sure if you'd mentioned packet 3 or not. Must have mixed it up with the Germans. The instructions for the Amsterdam consulate are pretty clear in terms of knowing that we get packet 3 first. I'm now waiting for the consulate to contact me on how I can schedule my interview. 

 

The interview request paper looked like the attached pic.

 

Any news on your case? Did you call NVC and/or Embassy?

I haven't had good Yorkshire pudding in more years than I care to admit (longer than most of you have been alive).  Grandma Beatrice made the best!  Her roast beef was WAY overcooked but damn, that Yorkshire pudding and mince meat pie will be in my fondest memories until my last breath.

Looking like a good day for the remaining, even the RFE means you’re getting closer to an approval. 

 

Let’s close out June this week, and any May.

Sweet, congrats!  It's too early.  It took me 6 weeks from Dec. 21 (NOA2) to Feb. 2 to get a case #, but the trend appears to be a little quicker now.  Give it 2 weeks, then call.

After NVC # then you have to wait till it's 'ready' at the consulate.  Then you can submit DS160.  It's been 2-3 weeks for some from DS160 to packet 3.  Then packet 4 seems to be within a couple of days.  That's when you can pay the fee (or at interview) and schedule interview and medical.  The Montreal website says it takes 2-3 months to get an interview, but I think that's slightly exaggerated (at least I hope so).  Then another 2-4 weeks to get visa.  The whole process takes longer than a lot of other countries

 

There's some Montreal specific stuff here: 

And Canadian stuff here: 

And several Canadians just ahead of you here:
