Hijacking this thread for landing questions! I'm landing in two days via airport and wanted to have all of my paperwork in order ahead of time. My husband found this old thread with landing tips but some of it is stressing us out. It tells us that there are several forms required to have...

We mailed our package on January 15th of this year. We had to send in an updated FBI check later around April-May.

For what it's worth my husband is a naturalized Canadian citizen who was born in Taiwan and I'm American. His mother and father immigrated when he was ~2yo. We received our COPR on June 12.

Americans have their applications go through Ottawa. I believe that they are only forwarded to LA (I don't think NY is processing anything anymore) if there is a request for an interview. At least this is my understanding. My application went from Mississauga to Ottawa and then DM.

I just received my COPR in the mail! Application sent: 1/15/15 Application delivered: 1/16/15 AOR: 3/20/15 SA: 3/23/15 "Started processing application": 6/1/15 DM: 6/4/15 COPR recieved: 6/12/15 For those who are looking for similar cases: I am American, 25, female, have been married to my...

Hey guys, I received DM last week (In Progress on 6/1 and I checked on 6/4 so sometime between then it came) and I know I should be patient but with a couple others already receiving their COPRs in the mail I'm getting a little antsy. Does anyone have a best guesstimate as to how long it takes...

Hey all, I'm trying to sort out how much my husband and I are going to spend on a monthly basis when I get to move up. I understand that as far as health insurance goes, doctor visits will be covered but prescriptions will have to be paid out of pocket. I currently take Synthroid (I actually...

Yes. We encountered a delay while preparing our application and had to send it in a couple months later than planned so my police check expired before we even mailed it in January. We sent the expired one with the application anyway but ordered a new one asap. As soon as the new one arrived to...

I believe my husband mailed my updated background check attached to his UCI number back in March. I had him mail it in and I think he just grabbed the first one he saw, which would have been the one attached to his SA email. We just reached DM on the ECAS so either we got denied because they...

I've heard that American applicants won't have passports requested because we're visa exempt or something. Is this something else they'll request or am I getting confused?

I see that now. This is all really crazy, I hope they get their timelines straightened out soon.

I just checked the status of my application on a whim and the page said "Decision Made" on both my sponsor (that was back in March) and myself. I haven't gotten any communication from the CIC yet but my husband and I have been really nervous lately because in hindsight we think we may have been...

From what I've seen the people landing from January are exclusively from the Manila VO, not Ottawa or any other office. It makes me super jealous as a January applicant so I can't imagine what it's like for you guys 3 months back :(

Since you're a US citizen you should be processed through Ottawa and processing times through Ottawa are taking about 8-10 months right now. Apparently Ottawa doesn't send out a lot of communication unless you're missing documents or other information they need, so being in the dark is pretty...

I don't know the answers to all of your questions but I'll address what I think I know and if I'm wrong someone can correct me. AOR2 is the second acknowledgement of receipt (of your application) from the visa office that will be handling the case of the principal applicant. So I believe the...

You'll hear something soon! We just got our sponsorship approval :)

Just got our AOR on March 20! We sent our application on January 15 so we're hoping to see SA this upcoming week :)

I had to request a second FBI clearance because my husband and I had to wait so long for a marriage certificate fix (they put me as born in Ontario when I'm American.. then they forgot to mail us the new cert) that it passed the 3 month mark. We decided to just go ahead and send in our...

Hi all! My husband just dropped off our application in the mail and we're so excited! Soo... can anyone fill us in on what we might expect first? We have tracking on our packaging so we'll know when it arrives where it needs to be, but sort of communication should we be looking for? Good...

So my husband and I are in the final stages of our application process and the only thing we're waiting on is a corrected version of our marriage certificate. Somehow when we were originally filling things out it listed myself (the sponsored spouse) as being from Canada which is quite wrong...
