ljj

I got my letter today saying that my card has been ordered! So excited I don't have to worry about this anymore

sooo i received a text saying my case status has been updated ... checking my case status it said that my case has been transferred ... again .... uuuurrggghhhhh

I got the same text and e-mail today. So frustrating!!!

I received my notice of trransfer today, dated 9/18. It seems as though I have been transfered to the California Service Centre as well. It said that my case was transfered because Vermont was the wrong service centre...but according to their website, Vermont is the service centre for North Carolina... Here's hoping that the process moves along a little faster now!

Yup, unless your fingerprints sucked like mine and you get requested to go to a second biometrics appointment

I really hope not! I am leaving tomorrow to drive home to visit my family for about a month, and with my luck that's when the second appointment would be!

Went to my biometrics appointment on Friday, was done in less than ten minutes! Now I guess we just wait...

Jus got my Biometrics letter today. I go June 21!

NOA received today! Dated 05/16/2013

Hey everyone! I sent my packet on May 14, so please add me to the list. I haven't received my NOA yet, but I am hoping to get it soon!

I have money that is stuck in my RRSP's in Canada that I cannot touch until retirement age. I have my husband listed as the sole beneficiary for these. Should I send statements from these accounts as extra evidence? My only worry is that they are Canadian accounts, and have my parents CANADIAN mailing address listed on them. I don't know if this will hurt us or help us.

When we have travelled in the last two years we have always driven. I have some photos, and could print out hotel receipts. We each have our own insurance through our jobs, as it was too expensive to be on each others... Shouls I send teh actual cards, or copies of them?

WIth the bank account, we really don't use it much, except for our tax refund. Unfortunately, we have no membership cards since it is just the two of us and never need to buy in bulk lol

I have bills for both of us with the same address; car insurance with both of our names; drivers licenses showing same address; I as the benficiary of his insurance and vice-versa; joint tax returns for the last two years; I am listed as my husband's beneficiary for his IRA accounts....and of course pictures of us on vaction and with the two cats we asopted together.

I need some advice. My husband and I haven't really "comingled" our finances. We have seperate bank accounts except for one, for no other reason then he had his accounts established and I am banking with another bank that lets me access my Candian banking easily. His name is on the mortgage because he already owned the house when we got married. We also don't have any joint credit cards. Am I totally screwed??? I have been happily living my married life, and unfortunately, never really thought about having to prove that it is real. I am supposed to submit my packet this Friday, and I guess it is my own fault for not being more prepared. Help!

I am getting ready to submit my I-751 package and I am starting to worry it won't be enough. My husband and I have seperate bank accounts since I bank with RBC beacuse of investments and stuff I still have in Canada, and he already had existing bank accounts with BofA. We have one joint account that our tax returns go into, but thats it, so we don't really use it much. Is this going to be a problem? Also, my husband already owned the house, so I am not on the mortgage. Any suggestions? Should I be freaking out?

Thanks for the advice everyone. It sounds like RBC is the way to go. My next question is since I am already living in the US, should I try to open a Canadian account through their web-site or should I go to the US branch and organize everything through them?

Ok, I think I have read every post on using Custom House (which is now owned by Western Union) and banking with RBC. I have no idea what to do! I NEED to get some money here, and hopefully my EI cheques (a whole other disaster story) are going to finally start coming soon, and I could really use access to this money. I contacted Custom House and tried to open an account, but they needed me to get a form filled out by a guarantor, and I haven't been able to do this. Is it worth my while to try and open an RBC account in Canada? I currently bank with PC Financial (I still have my parents address as my mailing address so that I don't have to close my accounts) and have several accounts with them, including my RRSP. At this point I just really need some good advice on the best way to get money here (and the cheapest ). Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

So the big day is finally here, and I am finally moving tomorrow! I think I have everything ready to go, but any feedback/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

1. I have my SEALED brown envelope

2. Passport with VISA

3. Itemized list of what is in the vehicles

4. Letter from FORD so that I can import my vehicle

Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

oops! I meant the Peace Bridge...not really sure why I wrote Rainbow since I never cross there! lol

I am planning on doing my POE the second week of August at the Rainbow Bridge in Buffalo. My husband is driving up here to help with packing and everything and then for the POE he is driving his car across, I am driving my car, and my parents are driving their car. All three cars are going to be packed with all of my stuff. I know I need to go in and meet with customs agents etc, but I am not sure what my parents and husband should tell the border guard. Should I cross first and have them cross directly behind me so they can pull over and wait as well? Any information you have would be very helpful!

Thanks! I am glad it is one less thing I need to worry about!

So about a week and a half ago I got my interview confirmation from NVC saying that my interview is scheduled for June 27th. However, when I log on to the Montreal consulate web-site it says that I don't have an interview date scheduled yet. Is this normal or should I be worried and be trying to contact someone? Thanks!

Thanks! I am hoping that will be the case!

I am so frustrated...my mom lost my vaccination card, so now I am scrambling to get proof of vaccination as my medical is June 6! I called Peel Health, but they have destroyed the record, so now I am heading to get titres done. Does anyone know how long it takes to get the results of the titres back? Should I be trying to reschedule my medical?

Le Nouvel Hotel - I got it through the Priceline name your own price option, so I didn't know which hotel until after it was booked, but I got a really good deal because of that.

My mom is coming with me - I just booked my hotel today. We are going to go on the Saturday and at least try to have some fun on the Sunday before the interview.
