That was fast did you include candies in your application?

Haha just got lucky. Hope the luck continues and shines on all of us

Did anyone pay Biometrics fee upfront or after a request letter?

Why didn't I think of that? Maybe it does help. But the candy would need to be visible in a transparent opening of the envelope just sitting there waiting to be opened.

Thanks for your reply.
After AOR, I received an email saying they will give us a refund of $85.
It doesn’t specifically say what the refund is for, but we only paid the application fee ($1140) and the biometrics fee ($85) upfront, so it should be the biometrics fee.
I’m the PA and from Japan.
I do need to give biometrics.
Since they gave me a refund I’m wondering if we have to pay the fee again after I get a request for biometrics

Hm, maybe you don't need to take bio... That's what it seems....

I see people here and in tracker receiving biometrics request same day with AOR1. But my spouse (primary applicant) didn't receive biometric request or any email yet. That's normal right?

I received the AOR1 but no biometric request. I also noticed other American's had biometric requested the same day as their AOR1 too so not sure what's normal.

Status changed to decision made this morning. Haven’t received anything yet though. AOR on 8th April. Sponsor living in QC. What will be the next steps for us ?

 

[usamatk]

Where can we go to give biometrics in Canada ? Can we simply drive to the US border for that ?

 

[KYVAN2019]

You’re right so I paid total of $1125 which includes app fee $1040 and biometrics fee $85

Same here. Only AOR so far

All we can do is wait so I’ll see what they will tell us next
