Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	i-751 March 2014 Filers UNITE !	May as well take me off the stupid list.  USCIS sent the package back for missing pages but we didn't miss any (I just checked).  Sigh.    ....actually, either put me on the "stupid" list or put the handler of my application on it.  somehow it ended up missing page 3 of the application.  I know I included it so now I'm confused.  Either way, we're out for March Edited by Trav&Shell, 03 April 2014 - 06:51 PM.

Still nothing in the mail or any activity in my bank account   Guys, word of advice, never live in Hawaii if you're ever waiting on important mail.    Southwest Virginia is about the same!  Apparently the "mountain people" scare the mail carriers away...

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	i-751 March 2014 Filers UNITE !	I received today my NOA1 in the mail, with the receipt date of march 26th, yay! One thing has me kinda worried tho, it says that they are extending my resident status for 1 more year, but it does not apply if my conditional resident status has been terminated....what does this mean?? so If my conditional GC expires next week, I won't be able to travel/work till after I complete the biometrics/GC production process?   No, it is extending the expiration of your conditional GC for one year.  You can still work, and you can still travel.  That letter serves as the proof of extension for your expiration date.  Keep both of them on your person.

So did I! Thankfully no one's has moved around me yet...*phew*. I've got about 1000 or better to go before they hit mine...	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-02-29 07:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Paisaman's I-130 CSC Statistics	The bulk of the processing is August 8-16 as the stats show, but random approvals throughout the month. Good luck all. Stay positive. -Paisaman Thank you for this amazing work, but most especially this last line. My husband was getting really discouraged until I read it to him and he realized we could potentially hear something this week (or early next, statistically speaking).	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-02-25 00:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Paisaman's I-130 CSC Statistics	Paisaman I really hope you are right!!!! Shell I hope we all get good news!!! Me too, Dimples, me too...some good news would be amazing!	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-02-24 23:17:00

Interested to see how close I am, keep me posted SEE, Dimples?!?! Even Paisaman says you come first - fully expecting to see your NOA2 real soon	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-02-24 23:03:00

LOL...that's awesome I'm sitting here purposely not looking at the date on the calendar, but reading over old email chains as I prep them for my NVC file	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-01-25 19:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Paisaman's I-130 CSC Statistics	I know exactly what you mean, when I spoke to the officer 3 days ago and he said no later than first week of Febuary I tried not to get excited. The next morning first thing I did was open my agenda to count how far away the 1st week of July was and realized thats next week! Ahhhh I screamed of joy and called hubby and he screamed as much as me! That's REALLY cute! Wait a sec, was it you who was talking about not opening that agenda the other day?	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-01-25 15:01:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Paisaman's I-130 CSC Statistics	rajavi: I totally agree, I would love to see the stats for this week as I have been seeing alot of movement. I cant wait till I see August moving along, I am getting my hopes up even though I know I should not. LOL don't get your hopes up, but stay happy (Yeah right, lol...husband and I had a bit of a cry fest last night thanks to getting our hopes up. Booo to delays, but we all can do this!)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Yah.. might be different for me.. right now.. my husband is trying to get me an appointment online.. they said it's way better and easy to schedule it online.. thank you so much again. You're welcome! Yeah, from what I understood, when they told me to schedule my own interview date - that's what they wanted me to do and they WOULDN'T schedule me one. It was up to me after that point. you know? Good luck!!! Quick note cause Mr. Sheeshka is getting antsy and wants to go out... We were APPROVED!! Reveiw here --> Montreal Review I'll be back later if the internet holds out! Woo hoo! Read the review - congrats	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-06-05 10:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Oh ok .. that's great to hear then.. it means my husband can login to that page and book the interview for me.. .. you had to pay everything online right? Thank you.. your info is such a big help You're welcome I only paid the AOS online - that's when NVC got confused with my file. I paid the visa fee about 5 minutes before my interview, AT the consulate. It may be different for you.	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-06-05 07:28:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	I am sorry guys.. if i made you confused on our case.. anyway.. i think my hubby expedited our paper.. and it says that i must log onto this site www.ustraveldocs.com Yep, that page looks different than the one I had to use - BUT it's the same information. Log in and book that interview!	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-06-05 07:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	That's why i asked her earlier if their case was expedited. I wasn't sure about who schedules in cases like that, and I was only guessing that that could have been the reason why she received that letter. Her first answer was that they didn't expedite, and that's what confuses me. Yeah, I'm a little confused too - it seems that maybe her husband did? I hope that's what happened!	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-06-05 07:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Your received it through postal mail? That's how it works for K1 or DCF filers, but for IR-1/CR-1, the NVC is the one who schedules the interviews for us. Or the embassy, I think, if expedited. Hmm, I don't really know what's happening here. Actually - I was expedited and I got the letter to schedule my own interview. You just log onto the website the letter says to go to, and you pick a date. Super simple.	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-06-05 06:48:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Oh, I understand now. And wow, really? In between flights? That's dumb... At Montreal, they open the TSA area like around 6am or so, and they stay open until the last flight of the night. See, that's how it used to be. It may be still. I usually get Trav out on the first flight of the day so i can still work after he leaves (keeps my mind off the fact that he's gone), so I have NO clue! LOL...they may still do that. And yes, I'm thinking bubble tea either before or after my get together with Sheeshka. And I'm gonna have some poutine at some point while I'm there as I haven't had any in YEARS. I've got a list in my head of which restaurants I need to eat at LOL that's awesome...it's so weird, we were looking at pics of Montreal last night and both were like, "I really miss that place." He fell in love with Chinatown, LOL... And I dunno about the pink hair. It's very expensive to get highlights done at the salon I go to (think $200-$300 and I don't really want to spend that much at the moment ), plus, I just got a haircut today (just a trim). I think two salon visits within a week (albeit for different purposes) would be a lot. I might look into just buying bottles of pink and bleach and doing it myself. But the thought of somehow bleaching my own hair and putting color in terrifies me as I have no idea how to do that We'll see... Aww, well, you may be right about the visits and you're DEFINITELY right about the price (although it would be pretty sweet!). Yeah, be careful with that bleach! My sister did it once and yeah, I know she did something wrong but her hair STILL fell out...it was funny but sad all at once...	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-30 15:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	What do you mean the airport locks the TSA area between flights? *confused* And yes, omg, I'm SUPER excited!!! As you can probably tell by my hourly countdown There is a big glass door from the check in counters and the security gate. When i dropped Trav off once, we were told we had to wait for them to open the gate before the flight. That may have been the first flight of the day so I could be thinking way wrong. It's all good either way - 7 AM should work LOL...yeah, you are going to have such a good time! Bubble tea and poutine? Are you getting your hair done pink?	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-30 15:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	You can still call. But 7am is perfect! That should be plenty of time to get through customs. Mine, albeit not at an airport, took about an hour. Weirdness is that I think Winnipeg Airport locks the TSA area between flights. Going to have to do a covert ops merge-in with another flight. Lol. Yay! So are you excited, with your 47 hours left?	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-30 14:48:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Oh jeez I'm sure the TSA is easier to deal with than immigration Personally, I'd say two hours at the MINIMUM. Three hours might be better though. LOL I know right? I think I'm just in hassle-overload My plane leaves at 10:50 AM on the 9th so I'm going to try to slip on in at about 7 AM or so. Think I should call to see what they say, or just show up?	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-30 14:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Ugh. How pathetic is this? After all the ####### we've dealt with and all the wrestling with red tape to get done - I am scared to call the TSA at Winnipeg's airport (to find out when they recommend showing up for POE). Sigh!	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-30 14:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Wifey Passed her Medical Exam Today!! Sealed Envelope in Hand!! Ready and All set for Interview on Wednesday!! Woohoo!! Congratulations! Home stretch now...and I can see you're excited! Good luck!!!	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-28 20:26:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Good. Don't open it, or yer banned from getting poutine, for the rest of yer life. I swear, it's true. WHAAAT?! No poutine for life if the packet gets opened by me!?! Wow. I could live with that (my waistline hates me lately), but Trav may get upset without poutine....	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-26 21:40:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Hey! It might sound funny but I read once someone here on VJ asking "What Should I do now that I have opened the yellow sealed envelope? Am I in trouble?" ... LOL! I think it was someone from Peru or something like that ... Bahahaha...I remember seeing something like that too! After seeing my sealed envelope I'm like...WHAAAA?!	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-26 21:38:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Maybe some people abroad whose primary language is not English may read it as "OPEN" and they will treat it like "Yaaay! I just got a present to OPEN!!" LOL!! LOL!!! I'm SO glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this, or it would have gone all over my computer	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-26 19:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	and congrats on getting it finally!!! LOL...thanks	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-26 09:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	I linked to my blog post above with pictures of what it looks like Took a peek at your pic - the other side of my package looks equally like something that shouldn't be opened Stamps and tape all over the place! I liked your comment "whoever opens this must be blind"...it's true lol	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-25 22:14:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Hahahaha! Oh My Gosh Trav&Shell that was hilarious! but at the same time very informative. I can't still believe I've read here on VJ about people who have actually opened that envelope even though it has all those markings LOL...yeah, that was pretty much what I said when I saw the thing I took pictures of the package (front and back), just trying to figure out how to get them on here, but wow...it's REALLY clear that they want it sealed ...did I mention the letters on the white piece of paper were all capital letters and done in bold black font? Edited by Trav&Shell, 25 May 2012 - 08:54 PM.	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-25 20:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2012	Visa in hand...they REALLY don't want you to open the yellow envelope LOL. There's a stamp on one side that says "do not open", they've taped the seam and ink stamped it twice (and signed the stamps), and then on the other side they've got a big white piece of paper that says "do not open." Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and leave it alone	Trav&Shell	Female	Canada	2012-05-25 18:08:00
