Hi,

We received notification that our case was `Ready` to schedule an interview at Montreal but the steps from Montreal state that they'll send a Packet 3 and then a Packet 4 with instructions.

Our case has been in a ready state since March 20. We emailed Montreal embassy on March 30th as if we've received the packet 3 but haven't heard from them either.

What should we do? Is there a way to contact them?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey everybody, just thought I d chime in and say hello and that I will be starting the IR1 paperwork process in the near future!

Bit of background:

My wife is a U.S Citizen and PR of Canada - her Canadian Citizenship paperwork is just about complete, so she will be getting her Canadian Citizenship when that s done.

she will be submitting the I130 as the sponsor for me.

I m a Canadian Citizen only and will be the beneficiary.

Both of our kids (10&13) have dual US/CAN citizenship.

we live and work in Canada but my wife is ready to move back to the USA (we are all looking forward to it!), so hence the reason for the me applying for LPR in the USA.

We have been together since the end of 2002 and married since June 2007 so there should be no issues in proving a bonafide marriage lol.

I m guessing I have posted in the correct forum? Please bear with me as I go through this and ask lots of questions!

I m starting by looking at the I130 info thread here and on the USCIS site.

Any tips or suggestions in the meantime!?

Thanks!

We sold our car to a Toyota dealership in Idaho yesterday!!! We were very clear about the importation situation, and it took a while to make it clear that we didn't have a separate piece of paper called title as American cars do, but they bought it for even more money than my husband had been promised as a Kelly blue book offer in Canada, and we traded it in for an American car. Problem solved! I'm mentioning it in case anybody has the same issue. It cost us a bit, but less than we expected, and at this stage, we just wanted to get it over with.

Can you try at an airport near you that has a POE to avoid the drive?

It would be nice, but no. I think it's the same thing as someone who is already in the US having to go back to the border to renew their visa (at least, that's how it works in Canada, I think). You can't have your car already in the US if you're trying to import it, and an airport parking lot is already in the US .

Here's the thread we had found on this topic some people have luck with the after-market TPMS system, but it appears most people don't:
