I'm praying its only 4 months. Ours is 

 

NOA1 April 23 2021

NOA2 May 25 2022

 

I have yet to hear anything from NVC and its been almost a month and a half. I'm scared it'll get stuck there now. 🤷‍♀️ 

To NVC can take about a month (at least in my recent experience). So lets say your case arrived June 25th

The shipping date had already passed on the 21st. Even if it arrived on the 19th, its possible it wasnt proccessed by the time the shipping date came. 

 

The next shipping date is tomorrow and Wednesday. Due to the holiday, it might be Wednesday thursday but who knows.

 

I wouldn't consider your case stuck yet. This would likely be your first shipping week since reaching NVC. Everyone I've seen recently at the Montreal consulate was in transit the first shipping week, so following that formula its pretty likely you'll hear back this week unless things somehow slowed down again.

 

If you look at my timeline, mine took almost a month and a half too.

It's very nice to know you guys experiences that how long I will receive the case number from NVC?

My case is

Noa 1 : April 1 2021

Response RFE: April 14 2022

Noa 2: May 4 2022

I sent an inquiry to NVC on June 28 2022

 

Until now It was 62 days from Noa2 and I didnt hear anything from the NVC.
Many thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m from June 2021 filers. I have a question about I-134 and overall sponsorship. 
 

I am the US citizen and I was living abroad for my studies. I moved back in November 2020 and I was unemployed until September 2021. So my 2021 tax return isn’t very bright with Unemployment Insurance and only 4 months of salary. But until we get our interview, I think I’ll have about a year’s worth of pay stubs showing a good salary. I’m also good with my managers so I can get reinforcing documents from them. 
 

Would this be enough to satisfy the embassy about the sponsorship?

I'm in a similar situation. I had a great job and lots of good tax returns, but because of the long wait, I quit my job to do contract work so I could travel overseas and spend a few weeks with my fiancé every 4-6  months.  So now my paystubs aren't quite as good. But I believe that as long as we are over the minimum poverty threshold we are ok. From what I've read from others, the higher up the tax bracket you go, the less income reinforcement is needed. My concern is I really don't have a traditional job, so I don't have any fancy letterheaded paperwork from a boss or corporation to show. I do have a decent amount of savings and no real debt. I also work in healthcare, so I can get another "real" job as soon as we get out interview. Fingers crossed we'll both be fine

It’s a tricky situation for sure, and it’s hard to find good info on this topic. But it matters and we need to know if we need a co-sponsor or not. 
 

I think you should be right about being okay as long as we are over the threshold though. Good luck to you too

Figured, congrats! If you're not already in it, join the k1 montreal Facebook. Canada needs a specific type of birth certificate and the police cert people often get the wrong type. Pinned are tons of guides on all the steps which will help, as every consulate has different steps.

Thank you! I'm in that group, and went and got the criminal record check that doesn't have finger prints on it etc, I have the long form birth cert. Hoping thats the one they want?

No finger prints and also it must state OTHER for what its for or whatever. 

And yes, long form birth certificate is right!

We received an RFE on June 1st, didn’t receive anything in the mail and waited 10 days before we called and they then emailed it over. Anyways we responded the next day which was 15th I think and were approved on July 1st

Thank you. I appreciate the response. I will wait until Monday before giving them a call if I don't get anything in the mail.
