I'm glad that whoever did the spreadsheet didn't pick blue colour for 'before ppr' status.

so last night I was thinking about all this Immigration waiting... and it dawned on me. My husband and I only paid the sponsor fee as well as the principal Applicant. Now that we have the file transferred to SEA not Buffalo I am thinking we should pay the last fee. I think I am worried that the Satellite office in SEA might lose our receipt if we mail it to them.... are we allowed to email them a copy? Or does anyone know the best root to pay the fees? Last time We paid online using Credit Cared, however when longing on it asks which office the file was sent to (Buffalo) ... but... it is not there any more.

Also On a side note.. I think my co-workers are going to go batty having to deal with my obsession of checking email / mail for a response from Immigration office! They are just as anxious as my husband and I! ( I am sure they are tired of hearing about the whole immigration process haha)

I would mail, email, and fax CPC-M, Buffalo AND Seattle! Just select CPC-M.

I don't believe it gives you the choice of Buffalo. It should be a choice between Mississauga, Vegreville, and some other offices within Canada.

As ddobro mentioned it before, rarely interviews are required for US citizens. From my time being on this forum, I'm not aware of any interview that was requested for a US citizen.

You're right, but since you bring it up- GetUsHome's American partner was informed an interview will be required.

Well... the good thing is, 2 out of the 3 posts ended up with positive results and they landed.

It is same-sex common law. I'm not sure about the child. She just mentioned the pending interview in the February thread.

There is actually a lot more positive interview experiences than negative. I believe there were some others who shared their experiences about their interviews here in this thread.
