IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2012

Horrible - but I was told that I'd been approved which I won't believe until I pick up my passport. I've written up my review but am leaving it to marinate before I post it. And mine was horrible because hubby is still in Canada with me and they just don't like that.

Fire away with any questions whenever you feel like it.

A horrible interview in Canada?! :( *gulp*....

And don't worry about being held up at Montreal Posted Image

Now, I want you to imagine getting another email with your interview date. I'm thinking by the end of this week or very early next week Posted Image

OK :D I'm imagining it :D How do you feel about May 7, Saylin? :)

Yes definitely i need to be there, i am used to see big bellies in the street and had never touched one. Now i have my own i want to feel the baby moving under my hand when i am touching the belly. These days i look at pregnant women in the streets more often trying to imagine how my wife walk, sit, lay down, drive, how she is when clothes on and bunch of ideas crossing my mind. This is the first time in my life i am gonna have a child, first time i got a woman pregnant for me, i missed most of the months as she is 6 months now i do not want to miss the 8th one

:cry: Awwww...that's REALLY sad! And sweet! I really hope and pray the embassy gets you your expedite! :(

(I was busy sending an email to the local animal shelter to win a prize from Purina! I had to send a story about how my shelter kitties and doggie effected my life)

Now I'm thinkin' about giving DoS another ring!

after 8 days you still have not heard from them????????? wow, when you call NVC about it what do they tell you ?

This is the only thing we need now, my wife and i are praying too

They tell me that our request is still under review, they haven't heard from the embassy yet. I'm not sure if that means the embassy is trying to fit me in for a date, or if they just haven't decided yet. We'll soon see :D

Good plan. You do need to be there for your baby and your wife. We both hope you get there soon!

When did you send the supporting document of your expedite request?

I sent everything over on April 3rd. I sent the documents as an attachment, and the letter I wrote was part of the attachment - it was also the body of my email.

OK thank you, can i give you a reminder here later on? :unsure:

Of course you can! You can also send me a PM if you'd rather, or if you have anything else you want us to pray for!
Trav&ShellFemaleCanada2012-04-11 16:22:00

According to what i have been told, Supervisor Sue will forward it to the embassy and it will be to them to Approve it or not. I thought it was gonna be Supervisor Sue who was gonna do the approval or Denial

No, unfortunately, Supervisor Sue (if that is her real name) only forwards them to the Embassy. I think that's only if everything's in order. I WISH she was doing the approval! After the embassy gets the request, you have to wait - that's why it's a hurry for you to send it now that you have your documents. Getting sick of waiting yet? I sure am!

It really doesn't hurt that much! Just have teeny tiny maple leaf done. Your shoulder and back are the best place for the least amount of pain. It feels like a mild sunburn. Till the itchies start lol!

Correction - anywhere on back except LOWER back!

There should be a warning for these threads to not eat or drink while reading posts. I am constantly finding myself laughing out loud!

ok Thank you... really, is it to where you are moving after the visa?

Yes...Trav lives in a small town in Virginia. I love small towns (I grew up in a tiny country town, so it's much better for us!) Cities are no fun, too high stress. Are you moving to a city?
