if you apply and your noc code was not on the lis,then you it's like a rejection to me.
you should ask somebody who may apply around the same time and got rejected.
you need to know exactly what happened as you're the only one who knows,check the paperwork again,if you didn't submit all the papers then you were never rejected.
i think even when you send to the consulate at the second stage you should handwrite it,since there is no other alternative.
i wrote "present" on mine,so i have to wait and see what happen.
it's not a problem as it's a language nuance,in the US we would "receiver general of canada" but in canada they say"receiver general for canada"
you'll be fine.
i got the FBI clearance within 10 days and the state within 10 days also.
make sure when you send the FBI request to tell them it's urgent and put a date on it,then you'll get it faster.
it's better if you wait until you get the divorce papers,because my cousin went through the same ordeal.
if you proceed without the proper paperwork then it will slow you down.
