Richard I forgot you are a dirty stinky March filer. Your word means nothing in this forum. J/K. With the way things are I am sure you got your cruise done properly cruises are cheap right now. Some of my friends just booked one and my jaw dropped when they told me how cheap it was.

We are all playing the waiting game and I am glad that we all have each other to get it out of our system.

Cruises....I wanted to go on a cruise for our honeymoon but since we can't leave till we get advance parole.... no cruise for us sad.gif I told the kids maybe next year instead we'd go on one.


You can do an Alaska or a Hawaiian cruise... they don't leave the country smile.gif



Well....last I looked there was a BIG chunk of Canada between Alaska and the rest of the states....they don't consider that 'leaving'? Really? Well I wouldn't pick Alaska cruise anyways...I'm leaving Canada for goodness sake....NO MORE COLD! lol Hawaiian though....yeah I could deal with that one. Where are you going on your cruise?

4ever...i just hope we al get our noa2 soon. never got one touch, i have no idea what to expect and it s killing me.

Minimule, did you see my post a few pages back with packet 3 info?



OoOoOO noOOoOo I didn t, im gonna look to see if i find it , thanks



I've been reading other threads where people have been told they will never be in the system. Updating/ overhaul or something. I will probably never be able to see mine. Email notifications seem to be not working. Old fashioned snail mail seems to be the only thing they got going on right now. So everybody....GET outside and watch your mailboxes. Richard and I will hold down the fort till you come back with good news!

Can anyone tell me, how I would know or find out if my documents were "touched"????



Apparently if you can see your case online and the date changes then your file has been 'touched'. I can't see mine but mine is alot more recent then yours. Seems their site has gone to the crapper lately though because some people get their NOA2's and have never been able to access it or if they could nothing ever changed. Not something I'd really bother with because it would just be another thing I'd be hitting refresh constantly over and obsessing about. lol I'm sure yours will be coming anytime now anyways. Just because we aren't seeing a lot of approvals here doesn't mean there aren't any happening. Unfortunately we are just a drop in the bucket.

They give you an estimate of 4 months for an interview but thats not usually the case. Also, its summer time and things seem to slow down a bit then. When you are seeing people from March not having interview dats yet, it may also mean that they have no updated their timeline. Many people forget to do this.

As for the cost of the envelope, it should be our responsibilty to pay it. The consulate can't be expected to pay 15$ for every person's ExpressPost. It has to be Expresspost because they have to put your passport with visa included in there and you have to sign for it when its delivered at home or when you pick it up from the post office.

Waiting really does suck the big one. And each case is different. Hopefully the wait won't be too long for you guys. I only just got my NOA2 and every day waiting for it seemed like it took forever. but once you have it, stuff really does start to fly. Don't give up hope! smile.gif



The person from March I was speaking about was actually posting in the thread "waiting for an interview at Montreal" .....their timeline is uptodate. As for the cost of the envelope. Between medicals and fees this is going to cost us 4k just to get to the AOS stage so if I feel like complaining about a 15 dollar envelope....I will.

I am not angry Richard. I was just voicing my frustrations with the process. I also said that I am no expert. I am sure that there is sound reasoning for the way that they do somethings. I also agree with my D_n_M that they can't hire a full time call center either. I am of the opinion that some of there procedures may be a bit outdated and in need of streamling. My office is practically paperless which was an absurd notion just a few years ago. Thats my main point. I will get off of my soapbox now even though it was never my intent to stand on one.



And we love you! lol

Anyway....good morning everyone!!!

Lil' - 6 months?? WOW...that is insane! The Netherlands is about a 5 week wait...I'd go nuts if it were more!

Richard - Mary?? Was that her name?? I thought it was something like Marie.... huh.gif



Yeah... Marie... now that does ring a bell or two... although, I thought it was more Spanish... South American or something

LOL... emotional retard... thats funny... I have to admit that my SO is handling this much better than I am as well... Although, she is also starting to get impatient.... but in 26 days she will be here for 2 1/2 weeks (assuming the BP lets her in the country)... that will take the edge off.

Hi, my name is Richard and I am an emotional retard! smile.gif


More Spanish, huh? Hmmmm... huh.gif

I am also having more trouble with the wait than my SO....I've always been an impatient person though. And he's a saint for putting up with me..LOL! rofl.gif luv.gif



Yeah patience isn't my strong suit either. We flip back and forth on who is the more calming influence and the voice of reason. Its usually him. lol

This whole process is unorganized, inconsiderate, and for the most part typical! The only thing we can do is wait wait wait... calling doesn't help.. getting a third party involved doesn't help. The system needs an overhaul! Where's Chip Foose when you need him?!?


I agree..this whole process is ridiculous. They quote 6 months for NOA2 and then 4-6 months for an interview date. There's people on the Canada forum now who sent in their packet 3 and it was logged in Montreal Mar 23, 2009.....and they still don't even have an interview date?? That's what I have to look forward too. UGH! They also don't give you your visa the same day either. You have to provide them with a self addressed mailer and they send it to you. lol They can't even eat the cost of an envelope. This would be funny if it wasn't my life they were messing with.

Yeah I couldn't believe how slow the consulate is here right now. Its Canada for gawd sakes! lol We can easily cross the border, stay for 6 months yet 3rd world countries are getting their interviews within weeks while we are waiting months and months......I'm praying that its just a 'slow period' and they'll speed this up, do some hiring...ANYTHING. Its bad enough that as big as Canada is we only have 2 consulates that handle k-1 visas. Toronto of all places doesn't do them, only Montreal and Vancouver. I'm one of the lucky ones I suppose....I only have to drive about 7 hours and spend only one night in a hotel there. Oh...and only 3 places do the medicals. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. If you are unlucky enough to live on the East coast you either make 2 trips or one long one.

There is my rant of the week! Its been driving me nuts since I first starting reading about this process. You try to be patient and understanding but sheesh........

LIL one! where have you been.... I miss you too! *HUGS*

I have been looking at the numbers on the approvals and it is not as dismal as I thought. If you only look at the 'new' list you wont see as many as there actually are... for example on 5/27/09 there were 9 updates... some are past the last 20 recent approvals so you don't see them on the 'new' list... smile.gif I know, it isnt much, but its better than nothing!



Its starting to move the right way again. I'm more annoyed right now with the Montreal Consulate....its taking people longer to get a damn interview then it did to get their NOA2 !! In the consulate section on here its says 4-6 MONTHS....thats NUTS! Looks like people aren't waiting quite that long but I'm seeing people still waiting for a date after 2 months. Apparently they are short staffed....they best get moving and do some hiring.

Maire and mermaid you are both so lucky. I have to wait for the K-1 to come through to see my SO. I am envious of both of you.


48 days until my SO gets here... Lee, how can you stand it?




This is going to sound so stupid. My house is immaculately clean. I am currently doing a lot of work on my lawn. Which in Florida just sucks and is ridiculously hot. That takes care of my weekends which for me is the worst part. During the week I talk with all of you which is really theraputic. My job is one that is based on the hurry up and wait philosophy. After work I do jiu-jits 4 or 5 days a week and that just wipes me out physically. That is how I pass my time and keep myself occupied. I do all of that and it only distracts me some of the time. So in conclusion to answer your question I can't stand it and everyday is a little bit harder than the day before. I then spend my entire day in the back of my head convincing myself that this is not the case and that the struggle makes the reward all the more sweet.



Nah...not stupid at all.

I feel like I'm just "putting in time" until my family can be reunited again. My SO is doing the same...he's in Florida, also doing a lot of lawn work lately. He'll probably spend tonight hand watering the lawn as per the water ban rules....he's allowed to water on Tuesdays. I also have the cleanest house imaginable and I also have the kids to keep me busy. Its outa my hands now.....can't do anything but wait and keep ourselves busy.

Yeah that does suck but I wasn't too impressed when my SO had to leave after living with me here for 3 years and I didn't get to see him for 6 months. We all unfortunately have had our crosses to bear. You just got to remember that all this will be over eventually. Blah...I can only be so 'upbeat' and 'cheerful' for so long and then even I start gagging on it.

It BLOWS...the wait BLOWS the distance BLOWS and we all %#^$&^%* HATE IT!!!

Good luck to everyone else.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsG325A Signature
QUOTE (Jimbeezy13 @ May 1 2009, 01:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hey everyone, I'm in panic mode. I sent out the I-129F in January and hopefully will be receiving the NOA2 shortly. I may have messed up on the paperwork becuase of the G325A for my fiancee. I filled out my G325A accordingly and signed it. However, my fiancees' G325A I couldn't sign becuase she isn't in the US. I annotated that saying that it will be signed once the paperwork gets to her. Does anybody what could happen?


I would figure that they would have sent it back since it was not signed. I read a post before about someone sending a copy of a signed document and they sent that back. Maybe because you annotated it saying that she would sign it later.....

Frankly I would have figured they would send it back anyways and make you send in a proper signed version. If I were you I'd get her to fill it out and send it to you just in case. That way if you do get something asking for it you have it ready at least. Hopefully you won't need it.

Good luck smile.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIgors list
Nah...I just seen a january filer who said they were number 200+ when they got their NOA 2. Its based on people actually filling out their time lines. So if someone puts they filed then they got their NOA 1 and then never fills out anymore they will still be there on the list. Its just a general guideline to see how fast or slow things are moving. Based on what I've seen in people's timelines its all just a crapshoot and you may gets yours faster or slower then everyone else. Who knows.

Just to clarify and not to say your friend was telling you untruths, but Canadians go through exactly the same process as everyone else. Being a Canadian makes no difference - we are still aliens and treated that way. We are still required to jump through all the same hoops as any other foreigner. If it were as easy as showing a marriage license all of us would have gone that route, but we too do the K-1 and the CR-1s to be with our loved ones. We wait, too. As Rebeccajo so ably said, there will come a time when all of this will be part of your 'history' and will fade as you discover and create your new life together.


My friend was actually talking about an American moving to Canada and only needing a marriage license. She wanted to know why it was so hard to move to the U.S. if it is so easy for a U.S. citizen to go to Canada. I don't believe it is that easy though, it can't be. I live in a border town, and there are so many couples around here that cross back and forth, I am thinking maybe this person was talking more about dual citizenship or working in Canada or something. I don't believe you can just get married to a Canadian citizen and immediately immigrate to Canada without having to do some sort of application or paperwork.


It is far from that easy. Living on a border town just makes it easier. My niece did that and although he still had to file all the regular paperwork he was able to get a 'temporary resident" permit so he could stay with her but he still had to cross the border everyday for work. Until he gets his equivalent of a 'green card' he can't work in Canada. My fiance also lived in Canada on a work permit for a few years and we were looking at him getting his permanent residency here and it was going to cost us the same if not more then me going to the US and it was going to take longer. I don't know where people get the idea that Canada just throws open its borders and says "Come on IN!" lol
