Nice! Going to do that! Appreciate it.

True. Thanks for the tips. What about immigrating and coming back for your belongings?

Ok. Call Ford Canada and not the dealership. Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up

Good morning,

I apologize that this topic has been repeated in the forum but just want some peace of mind.

Born and raised in Toronto, I just received my passport back(family based visa)????. Dad lives in Jacksonville,Florida.

According to the visa exp. I have until the end of September 2015 to immigrate to the U.S.

Can I Immigrate to the U.S. without my belongings? Come back to Canada and bring my belongings over when I'm ready? Does the temporary 1 year stamp mean I have up to a year to move or until I get my official "green card" in the mail.

Best advice bringing my vehicle over?

I was hoping the consulate would give me until at least November so I can get everything settled. Feels like I'm In a race against time. Lol

Thank you for you input.

Never mind. It changed to "issued" lol

Finally!!

What's pd?

Finally status changed to "ready". How's it going with you. Have you moved?

You should receive it in a couple of days. I envy you lol. I'll stay put in Toronto for now. Carry on with my life until I get it . ?

That's amazing!!!! Congrats!!

When are you moving?

Seems like they're reviewing my case today but nothing has changed. Will let you know. How's things with you?

I've read that after three days it may turn to "issued" or "administrative processing". Could go either way. Fingers cross you get it soon. Will keep each other updated.

I emailed them. Did your status change to issued?

That's awesome. Hope it says "issued" soon. I'm still waiting lol. Did you end up emailing the consulate?

Good luck.

May I ask, what state are you planning to move to?

Weird it's at loomis. Shouldn't take that long. Consulate received it the day after I dropped it off.

You can try emailing the consulate but I don't think they can give you a straight answer.

Keep me updated.

The interviewer told me a couple of weeks. As those weeks passed, I began searching online and saw some cases took 6 months to a year. I guess there's nothing else we could do but be patient and wait.

You mentioned your interview date took place on May of 2015?

Bit of a background check,

Im a 34 year old, Canadian-born(toronto) with a colombian background. My dad is a US citizen as of 2000. He currently resides in JAX, Fl.

Long story short, in 2006 we filed an application(unmarried son or daughter of US citizen over 21). In 2013 (roughly 6 and a half years later), my Visa became current and they sent me an interview date at the US consulate in Montreal. Unfortunately i couldn't attend to it so i had to reschedule.

On the day of my rescheduled interview, i didn't know what to expect. Abit nervous and excited at the same time. The whole process for me took approx 1hr and a half. Everything went well except for my fathers finance. The interviewer gave me a 221g letter as they require a joint sponsor to meet the minimum requirement.

After my trip from Colombia, my father was able to send me all the necessary information and i immediately sent all the documents along with my passport via loomis. As of now, according to the CEAC website, my status is :

Application Processing as of Jan 20, 2015. I have no idea how long its going to take but will keep you folks updated.

Born and living in Toronto (FB-1 visa applicant), I went to my medical exam appt. the doctor will tell you what your missing. He'll give you a list what you need done from your family doctor, in my case, proof of MMR and influenza.

On the same day, I went to my family doctor, got my influenza shot and a blood sample for MMR. After a week, I went back to get my results and got my MMR shot. We both know this isn't free as this is covered by Ohip(taxpayers).

goodluck!

I have a question and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a Canadian living in Toronto and my interview is on dec 1 in Montreal As an(unmarried child over 21 of US citizen) I'm 33.

What questions are asked during the interview and is my dad presence needed?

Also just to confirm, what documents do I need to bring.

Thanks
