Hi,

My office is planning on sending me to the US for training in March, 2019. Can I use this as a ground to apply for expedited processing of my application.

My application is currently in process since December 07, 2018. What do I need to do in order to use this training as a ground to request for express processing of my application.

Thank you

Are you unable to get your home country's passport or banned into the U.S. due to Trump executive order?
If not, it's not going to be granted. It will be rejected though.

I have my home country’s passport (Nigeria) and it’s still valid.

Does that mean, I should go and apply for a visiting visa?

Yes. I guess Nigerian passport do not qualify for visa on arrival, so yes you will have to book an appointment at the US embassy and apply for a visa.

Since you have already applied for citizenship, you do not have to declare this travel to CIC.

Thank you Thomas1987 for enlightening me on this. I better start my visa application process ASAP.

Just wondering, what qualifies one for expedited processing?

Hello Admin,
Hello fellow Applicants,

Could you please add my details below to the sheet? and could you please share the sheet’s link. Thank you.

No. Of days: 1,130

On a different note, does the applicant usually receive one invitation for the test and the interview, or two separate invitations with separate dates? And if they are separate, which comes first and what’s usually the time gap between them?

Thank you

Got the same update today for both me and my wife not in kids, what do you guys expect, is it a finger print or Rq? This is probably delaying us now
Yes it will now delay due to Holidays I didn't get my mails on time
One of my friend applied in Feburary she said if it's biometric they will definitely mention it because they clearly mention her about biometrics in her updates
She said might b some missing documentation
God knows better .

It was sent by local office in Vancouver and the FP report is also supposed to be sent to the same address.

I got the fingerprints done today as well.
