Has your background check started yet? I got a request for additional documents on December 9th and my background check changed to "in progress" on January 18th. I'm still waiting on those two magic words "decision made"

That's awesome news!! So excited for you!!!

For everyone that had their background check start in November/December and only got their DM in January - I now know what you guys went through! I've only been waiting 2 weeks but this is agonizing!!!

I sent a copy of mine even though it wasn't necessary and wouldn't be asked for. I guess I was hoping it would help speed up the background check process haha

Well that's good news, I was going to give up hope...till Monday! haha Hoping we hear something soon! :)

My husband's background check changed to "In Progress" on January 18th and he has yet to get DM. I was hoping to by now, but I know lots of others were waiting since before December. HOWEVER, my husband did have a juvenile record (which we included court documents to prove the charges were...

Perfect, thank you!

I'm asking just so I know what I'm able to do/not do while I wait for my husband to go through the landing process. I'll be flying with him when he lands so I wasn't sure what the boundaries are with regards to waiting for him. Thanks!

Haha I absolutely agree! And I'd love to be a part of the alums thread too!

Just as a follow up to this. I (the spouse) would go through the citizen line as normal, but would I have to let the officer know that my spouse is going through the landing process? Or would I just have to sit and wait outside for him?

Perfect, thank you! Seriously, we all owe you a drink! or two!

My husband will likely be using FedEx for his documents as well. But are you talking about sending them all the required forms/documents or your prepaid envelope? Did you use FedEx as well for the prepaid envelope? or USPS?

Wow, thanks for this! Oh good, I'm glad I'm not the only one not really clear on this. This is definitely something I would do. It definitely is the safer option.

So....here I am again trying to prepare for when my husband gets this e-mail. When they say to send in "any pages containing amendments of the passport" do they mean pages containing things like student/work/travel visas? and/or do they mean stamps of entry into different countries? Sorry, this...

I was thinking about you recently! Glad to have you back!! I didn't get an e-mail either. I just noticed my background check changed because I check the status online about a million times a day haha.

Thanks! Can you keep us updated with yours and let us know if you had any issues. I'm not quite at that step yet, just wanted to be prepared!

I'm wondering the same thing! My husband was just in town visiting me from the states this weekend. I took him to take new photos just in case because it's looking like updated photos are in fact needed. He left them with me, so I was wondering whether I should have sent them home with him to...

Use the case specific enquiry form. Just google it and the page comes up. Just make sure you enter all the required fields correctly (i.e. UCI # etc.) Then you should receive an e-mail that they got your documents. You might not, so if you don't within 10 days, I would call in to make sure...

There you go again with all the helpful information! Thank you x infinity!!!!!! And yes, he does have a US passport! So that's good news!

Unfortunately he doesn't live near a border, so he would have to fly to get here. I figured that doing it all at once would be the best scenario but I'm just worried that the medical won't be extended for too long. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Thank you for your input, though! Thanks! I...
