Received SA by snail mail today. Turns out it was approved the day after AOR, but took til now to find out because they sent a letter despite having my wife's email...

The letter says "your file will be sent to a visa office for processing," but no office is listed. Anyone else in the same boat?

My wife received the SA email today. No office listed either. I think US citizens are processed in Ottawa?

For me, all were issued within 2 days of each other. I got the medical request by email the day after AOR. 3 weeks later, I received letters by snail mail with SA and exempting me from biometrics (I previously provided them). The letters were dated the day after my AOR. Not sure why some things were sent by snail mail and others by email.

Hello, does anyone know how long is a FBI check good for? We’re being asked to have another one done but it hasn’t been a year since we had one done.

Generally yes. When do you expect to travel?

yes it's okay, I flew to Canada and renewed mine when it was 2 or 3 months prior to expiry. New one was done in about 12 days :)

Thank you for your reply. I live far from Manila from Mindanao. It will be lot of work if I have to renew it. Has to fly together my daughter to Manila Embassy to renew it. I hope the CSQ will be released soon, and passport request will follow, I would say 3 months to get the visa if CSQ certificate is done.
