Well Guys .. I have had a brief setback.. !!!!!!

They will not consider any Canadian Pensions or for that fact any Canadian Assets... only American income and American assests..

" Every one take note!!!" :no:

My pension income alone would be six times The I864P Poverty level... and I explained to them I would have it sent to me in the US as I checked with the Pension Company and they do that ..

and I have a lot of Canadian assets trust me...

but the interviewer said sorry That I would need another USC co-sponcer that would fill out the I864

I would not need to interview again just send it ( The Co-sponcers I 864 paper work) into Montreal with my Passport and they would send my accepted visa 10 days Later..

So I have arranged for a co sponcer.. waiting for it to arrive now..

Grrrrrr

P.S I saw Mat There in line and he was still waiting when I left ..

hope everything works out well. do you have an estimate for how long till you get the co-sponsor's filled-out application? the paper they give out says 10 days for review of additional documents, but on their machine when you call it says 2-3 weeks. or at least it did a few weeks ago when i last had to call. just saying if that 10 days has passed, don't worry :) might just be another week or so. ours took 5 weeks once they received it, but i don't think you should have a problem. they do tend to take any and every holiday known to man off, lol.

also, do not get heartbroken if your tracking number doesn't show up on canadapost online. ours came before it was on there :)

wish you smooth sailing after this technicality

Good luck! I know how disheartening it can be to walk away from that interview with a rejection/denial, but it seems you're already moving in the right direction. Good luck!!

My wife has been back since June 5, 2007. Now we're just livin' man, L I V I N :)

I have been watching your journey closely as I live in BC and will be applying for a K1 as soon as Carnell's divorce is finalized, my heart went out to you and your wife as I read of the setback you have encountered. As an already established more mature couple, I had not anticipated you would have been beset with any difficulties. Good luck with this pothole in the road of your visa journey.

Didn't this also happen to another Canadian VJer recently? I wonder why they didn't tell you this when your case was at the NVC and you first submitted the I-864?

Sorry to hear about the setback but once you get a cosponsor, you'll be good to go!

hopefully only a slight setback!!! One would think ur pension would be enough, but that only makes sense!! lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Oh Colin!!! :unsure: I was away being a nerd and was wondering -seriously- how you and matt had dealt in MTL. I am sorry to hear about this - but there's a quick fix fortunately my dear friend: get that cosponsor cracking and get ready packing!!!!!! (ok, that was a cheesy verse). Best vibes as always friend.
