I dunno. The rules must have changed since the time that I was flagged. I was told that I could not visit the USA after my fiancé had applied for the K-1 and before any visa had been secured. He, of course, could visit me---and he did.

I got flagged because I didn't know the rules either. Was held at Coutts/Sweetgrass for more than 3 hours and had the car devanned twice. I, too, was not able to prove ties at that time. However, even if I was able to prove the ties, we had not applied for any visas---furthest thing from our minds at that early time. I was told that if he had applied for a visa---and it hadn't come yet/been approved (which was over a 6-month process when we did it), that I would be turned back at the border. The reason given was that we might be trying to circumvent the immigration laws by having me sneak in and stay instead of waiting for the visa.

I didn't try to cross again until a year later and it was via the airport in Calgary. I was required to use a special paper that they provided in addition to my passport. It only allowed visits for not longer than 2 weeks and if I crossed back into Canada later than what was on the special paper I would be banned for 10 years. My fiancé wanted me to go to a 3-day concert series with him before he started the visa process---because I would not be allowed to cross during that. But, like I said, that portion of the requirements may have changed.

Not sure if this is helpful, but you were looking for people who had experienced the Red Flag.

Hey,

My boyfriend and I have been together a year and a half. He's an American citizen and I am Canadian and I plan to move to the US once I'm done school. I'm reading through all of this information, some of it is making more sense than others, but there seems to be no clear path for me to take. I don't want to commit to marriage without first living together and going through all of the natural steps other couples go through but the TN Visa has a very specific restriction about not intending to stay in the US, though realistically of course I'm not exactly sure what I intend at this point. I graduate from my program in April but I figure with the time this could take, I should get started now.

Any advice you could offer would be great. I think I'm gonna go cross-eyed from all the reading I've been doing before the weekend ends...

Absolutely no way that you will be allowed to live together first if you intend on living in the US. We were going to do that, but I was turned back at the border (there was a bunch of stuff in the car that indicated that I might be staying awhile). As a Canadian, I was not eligible for a visitor's visa (2005 rules---may have changed since) and so not eligible to have said visitor's visa extended for 6 months either.

In a way, it is probably a good thing that you are not in the same country as each other. If you are not ready to commit to a marriage, you are probably not ready to commit to living together---since that constitutes Common Law Marriage in Canada anyway. That's just my old-fogey opinion having been on both sides of that coin.

The guy who was my boyfriend (and to whom I am now married) suggested that after I graduated that I see what my degree could offer in the way of work before even thinking about giving that up to live in a tiny city in the US. And that is what I did. Then, we decided that we were suited to marry anyway.

I dunno. I think you should see what Canada has to offer you first . . . and then there may be room for another---as in, *he* moves to Canada instead. Just a thought. We wanted to do that, but Del's circumstances changed drastically in 2003 and it became impossible.

1st Amendment rights are not all encompassing. The 'fire in a crowded theater' is one not covered, also speech that starts riots is not covered. Nor is slander/libel

Good luck

I am writing a letter to have myself removed from a religious order and wanted to know if my rights of freedom to practice, or not practice, a specific religion were violated by them if they did not comply with my wishes. I needed to know if I, as an LPR, had those rights. If I did not have those rights, then I could not include that paragraph.

Yes, it's a kind of form letter that you alter to fit your individual circumstances.

So, fires don't apply and neither does sedition. But, they were humourous nonetheless!

Greetings:

I am an LPR---a Legal Permanent Resident. I have no plans at this point of getting US citizenship so please don't offer advice for me to do so.

The current difficulty is this:

Does the Bill of Rights apply to me as an immigrant? I know it applies to citizens, but can't find any information about whether it applies to landed immigrants who do not hold citizenship status.

I am specifically concerned with what is termed the First Ammendment.

My USC spouse has no idea (of course).

Thanks muchly.

http://www.aclu.org/free-speech/letter-house-urging-opposition-armey-amendment-shays-meehan-bill

Contains a sentence that runs---

"The courts have . . . found that while lawful permanent residents cannot vote, they do enjoy First Amendment rights."

Thanks everyone.

PS: I may have put this in the wrong forum. Please move, Capt Ewok, if I've done so.

Well, I looked up the website. I have filled out surveys for these people in the past (while still living in Canada) and have only recently stopped because I no longer have the time to do so.

I went to Contact Us and got their 'phone number. I reverse looked that up via 411.com and it comes out to JRD and Associates plus the name of the project manager.

These guys are ligit. I believe the email is ligit. USCIS has no reason to provide JRD with your telephone number and they probably didn't ask for it. No one ever called me to do surveys (not since the coming of the internet anyways---unless it was a political survey). Focus groups pay more money that mail-in or online surveys. I used to contact people to come to focus groups for a market research company that I worked for in Toronto. I think that you should go if you want to---you might just enjoy it.

---my 2¢---

- you can even call JRD at their number 305.662.7288 (with 10 10 987 in front to reduce your price tag on the call---like 10 10 987 305.662.7288 ) and ask them if you could speak to someone in charge of the USCIS focus group research. If it's ligitimately from JRD, they'll be able to connect you to that person.

I haven't logged in since I received my 10 year permanent resident card and so knew nothing of the proposed changes.

I like that I don't have to save the link as a separate bookmark to find my "edit timeline" page.

I like that I don't have to go to the Forums tab to log in.

It took me a while to figure out how to look at my timeline WITHOUT getting to the add/edit page, but I see it still says, "Click to view member's timline" when looking at Similar Timelines. Timline?

The other thing that has irked me for a while is this part:

Petitioners First Name

Beneficiaries First Name

Shouldn't that be?---

Petitioner's First Name (as in the name belonging to the Petitioner)

Beneficiary's First Name (as in the name belonging to the Beneficiary)

OR

Beneficiaries' First Names (as in names belonging to k-3s?)

Not bugs, per se, just things that have always bugged me since joining in 2006.

I probably won't know if you ever change them as I don't plan on logging in again until I choose to naturalise (earliest will be 2018---less paperwork and get our money's worth out of the funds paid for the 10-year card). If the new health care legislation goes belly up, I probably won't ever bother naturalising.

I cut the ends off and put them in the soup stock bag in the freezer. Then I peel the remaining cloves and put the peels in the composter. I slice the peeled cloves for every application because I can't be bothered with the pain in the neck feeling of looking down at the chopping board for the time it would take to dice or---heaven forbid!---mince them.

As for gadgets for preparing garlic? I pass.

Reposting to include my information again as it is not in the previous post (don't know why---ask Wes or Shiela).

Well, then maybe we won't get an RFE for stuff we don't have---like 2 year old bank statements. The bank didn't think to check to make sure their system was even sending statements until THIS SUMMER. Or maybe we won't get an RFE for the ORIGINAL affidavits since I only sent copies. 'Twould be nice to have a 6 month wait for a 10-year GC rather than have RFEs for stuff we don't have.

It's water under the bridge anyway. Fat envelope was already sent and received.

Well, I got this info TOO LATE.

I guess we'll get an RFE for the affidavit originals...if they require them . . . since affidavits aren't considered necessary. Will see. Will let husband know my mistake (since he didn't actually do anything except sign where I told him to sign). Husband is not member of VJ.

Not sure what is meant by the "overkill" statement.

I saved it to Bookmarks last year or the year before so that I could use it when I was ready. I haven't been tooling around in here since AoS.

So, I'll just keep it in my Bookmarks until something else useful comes along.

Simply listing under January Filers doesn't help me much. As we didn't do an interview for AoS, I wanted to know what the trend was for Removing Conditions for people like us.

Are you able to direct me to the thread that has replaced this one?

Just added mine to the CSC

"Dear USCIS examiner:

Enclosed please find a JOINT I-751 petition for removal of conditions of permanent resident status regarding my wife, ___. Please also find a check for $545, the fee for this form plus the biometrics fee of $80. My wife entered the US on a K-1 visa in 2007. We are happily living together and request that this petition be accepted for removal of conditions on the residence of my wife."

. . . is the first paragraph of the cover letter. Would it be redundant to mention it again? I had intended to place it in front of the cover letter and the I-751 after the cover letter. Is that wrong?

Following this cover sheet are the documents listed below:

- I-751 application for removing of conditions filed jointly

- copy of the Permanent Resident card of ___

- copy of 4 recent bank statements of our joint savings account

- copy of 4 recent bank statements showing household money I give to ___

- interleaved with these statements are a copy of the cancelled check for each month

- copy of last cancelled check (it is too soon for January statement)

- copy of 2007 and 2008 1040 portion of tax returns filed jointly

- copy of 4 documents related to my ownership of the house in which we live

- copy of letter from Farm Bureau Insurance showing both of us as members

- copy of Medical Insurance cards for use in 2010

- copy of confirmation of ___ as medical beneficiary

- copy of online confirmation of ___ as health savings account beneficiary

- copy of online break-down of medical benefits indicating percentages

- copy of my driver's licence and ___'s showing same address

- copy of cards from friends showing same address

- copy of photographs of us together in various locations and on different dates

No Target in this town.

We are making 4 copies of everything---just like we have done with every step of this process so far.

1 copy goes to USCIS

3 copies are on file---ready to go when we get the word that they have "lost" everything and we need to send out an identical pack right away.

There was advice on this site in 2006 to make 3 extra copies of everything---ready as is to be dropped in the mail after postage was added. We did this for K-1 application; EAD application; AoS application and are doing it now for Removing Conditions application. USCIS, unless things there have altered radically (and they may have), had a reputation for losing stuff on their desks. If an identical copy was sent in, suddenly the original one would be found under something or in the wrong folder or whatever. The extra copies are a safeguard for peace of mind.

I was going to take everything to a copy centre because I thought that it would be faster. Since I have to use colour copies for all the things that were already in colour for the originals, I might as well print them all here . . . slowly. Black & White prints take a whole lot less time and ink to print which is why I was hopeful.

Consider me chastised.

That sucks. Colour copies cost more. But, thanks for the comeback.

We are thinking of making all the copies that we send black and white (because we're poor at this time of year and we're cheap). Can this apply to the copies of the photos, too, or must they be in colour? This is in light of having to make 4 identical copies of what we send in the case that USCIS loses our entire package (NO! You're kidding? USCIS loses evidence?).
