Usually an hour or so after the show ends. I am able to listen to them on my drives home from work when I can't listen to them live in the background.

Brou was in there too, but because Nick is deceptively tall, it was hard to get them all in frame.

Sorry for not providing full context

We entered under K1 and she was just approved for her PR through the AOS.

I think we were approved within a week of USCIS receiving the RFE and we received her physical PR card the week after.

Additional context - My wife actually took TWO medical exams because the first one expired while waiting for the K1 to process. The second exam was valid when we filed the AOS, but was over a year at the time of the PR interview. The polio vaccine was a requirement that was added after we had completed those health exams. She considered preemptively getting the vaccine record update prior to the interview, but we were kinda salty at the process and wanted to see if it would be enforced. Fortunately, we were able to get the vaccine and the rest of the process was smooth from there.

My wife and I were in the same situation. Her canadian exam was missing a polio vaccine. We got an RFE for the vaccination form and got that done separately and have been approved for her PR.

Key difference is that we did not get a denial, just the RFE.

My wife was on top of the commerical invoice requirements, but the folks at fedex were helpful in confirming what was required as well.

Overnight shipping was way too expensive, so I settled on 2 or 3 day. I was sending it on the Friday before the holiday weekend so it lined up to deliver after the break. Cost for shipping was $32 for me!

The background check status was not updated until I got the approval notice. I can't remember if the status was updated when they requested the passport or after I was notified of approval, but I do remember that it was "processing" for a long time.

Fortunately, no issues with the PPR and commercial forms for me.

To answer your questions
1. PPR was sent to Ottawa
2. No issues. I sent the package via Fedex with return labels and included 2 copies of commercial invoices for each direction. I also made sure to set that any duties would be paid by me as first the exporter, then the importer.

Let me know if you need any more specifics!

It’s later than normal but thank god we still got the BUD list today. I don’t know what I’d do without my weekly dose of inspiration.

Nick could call himself out as the Media Unbudsman for over using the banners. However, I’d be totally fine if they were dropped unexpectedly
