  1. Hello all,

    I have asked before regarding my situation but thought I would get more insite as there are other and new knowledgable people on this forum..

    Here goes...

    Married to a US citizen in 1998. Never filed any paperwork.

    Travelled back and forth from US to Canada to make sure no overstay...This happened for almost 5 yrs.

    in 2001-2003 approx. I applied for a job with my husband as a courier driver. I was an independant contractor.

    When I would travel back home he would continue the courier service. The cheque would come in my name, no taxes were deducted as I was Independant. I tried to file taxes but I guess I did them wrong cause IRS wrote me back and told me that something was wrong with my SSN. The reason for this is because I was using my Canadian SIN which is just like a US SSN.

    Anyway....

    2003 left my husband and divorced him

    April 2005 re-married someone else who is my current (and last) husband :D

    I am currently in Canada in the process of my CR1. We are awaiting our interview date. I am afraid that we will be denied and have to write up a waiver which I have no clue where to start.

    Anyway, I would like to hear some thoughts on my situation, what I can do, should do...what will happen what might happen etc...

    Your insite is greatly appreciated...hopefully I will find someone that will be able to ease my mind and say "Don't worry all will be fine" ;)

    I have heard many "Stories" regarding Canadian citizens married to US citizens and more so Canadians residing in Florida (which is where I stayed and worked for about 5 yrs on and off) Maybe someone will be able to elaborate on the Canadian and US Immigration issues.

    Thanks again for any insite in my issue...it is all very much appreciated.

  2. :D Congradulations. I know chicken little has been anxious to get her letter. Very happy to hear.

    I called NVC today and they told me that I would have to try next month (March) to see if I get an April interview. I really hope so.

    BTW my case was completed Dec.19. I just want to be with my husband...our 1 yr wedding anniversary is coming up in April and would love to be with him for that.

    Again congrat to everyone that got a march interview... :dance:

  3. I had filed all my paperwork with my married name. But I hadn't changed my ID yet. Including my passport. My marriage certificate states that I chose to change my name to my husbands so I thought that was sufficent enough.

    Well, I was wrong. I received an RFE. I had to change EVERYTHING to reflect my maiden name. They would not accept it unless my passport was changed.

    I chose to just leave it as is. I guess I will be getting my green card in my maiden name.

    Hopefully down the line I will be able to change it.

    Best of luck to all
