Just a copy for filing. They will ask to see the original once you do your K-1 Interview..so keep it handy. goodluck.

Happy Canada Day everyone!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!

Hope you are all celebrating it in some special way!!!!

P.s Happy Birthday Ramos and anyone else celebrating their birthday today!

That is really sweet!!!!

Funny I was feeling homesick the other night myself and yesturday my husband comes into the bathroom while I was doing my "face" and yells "Happy Canada Day!!!" LOL..I just laughed and said "umm, thanks but its Sunday." lol...pretty cute.

Glad you posted this so that people can avoid this guy!! Are there any other "American Approved" Dr's in CalgarY? (crosses fingers)

Unfortunatly not...I had to have the same Yahoo...but at least that part is done.

Good luck at the interview Scott.

Congrats! That is great news!!!!!

Congratulations!

If you look around there are still a handful of airlines that will let you have the pet under the seat. However they limit the number of pets per flight so that could be an issue trying to get your pet on board.

When I flew to the US in December(2006) the only carrier I was able to find to take her on board under the seat was united. Others would still let them in baggage..however you have to read the fine print some wont do this certain times of the year due to lack of A/C or heating.

I think its terribly unfair to have to send them on cargo planes now. I understand what they are trying to do..but they should accomadate the few passengers that do travel with pets if they can. I guess if I need to travel again with my pets..we will be driving..at least you know they being handled properly.

Congratulations! Great review.

I wouldn dwell to much on the dates. Our case was hardly touched and the next thing I know I got an email stating they approved us. I agree with the PP, try not to focus on it too much, could happen at anytime. Seems to be no rhyme or reason how they do things. I am sorry its taking a bit longer then expected.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I really appreciate it. My concern was when you look at all my experience it was obviously in Canada. So I worried that they would toss my resume aside thinking I am not legal. I agree its none of their business..but this was something that crossed my mind. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

I decided to leave my then Career to travel the UK, and Ireland. Found myself staying at a hostel in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was traveling after finishing his degree..and working at this hostel. We hit off as friends..but decided it was best to just stay friends and nothing more. We parted ways to head back to our home countries. I had a feeling I was going to see him again..just didn't know when or where.

Fast forward about 4 years, and he emailed me out of the blue. We exchanged numbers next thing I know I am on a plane visiting him in Chicago. We dated long distance for 8 months, then he visited me in Calgary..and proposed!

Here we are! Finally together.

Hey Everyone;

This question is a bit off topic but I thought who better to answer this question than my fellow VJ'ers..in all their wisdom.

So now that I got my green card (YEAH!)..I am starting the grand ol' job hunt. would you put on your resume/application that you are a Legal Permanent Resident..or would you leave that out?

If you would put it on there would it be cover letter or resume?

Thank you in advance for any imput on this!

Are you waiting on his Adjustment of Status to Permanent Resident? That might be what the hold up is. After we got married I was told I had to wait until my status was adjusted before I was able to have my name changed on my SSN.

I went back today to have it done and was told they did not have the status change showing in their system even though I had my GC right there. She proceeded to tell me that I might not get my new SSN for another 6-8 weeks. Said something about they are a bit behind.

Maybe someone else will jump on here and have a better answer for you. Best of luck.

Thanks!

Yeah! That was me! I am sure yours will go much smoother! Take Care!

I forgot, I am about 1h or 45 min east of chicago, I could probably try to go there but i've never been downtown Chicago

If you can get your local DMV branch to do it then I would do that..downtown is just nuts. The DL is good for 4 years.

It will expire on my birthday(Nov) 2011... and it was issued March 6

Oh..I thought it was right after my I94 expired but I just checked. I did it a few days before the I-94 expired. Hmmm...they are really hard to get answers from there I know...I am not sure if they will take the NOA notice..cant hurt to try.

Hi Memphys;

I live in Chicago and change my DL over. They(Illinois) says that you are suppose to change your DL after 90 days. I am sure if you wanted to wait until AOS or EAD wouldn't be a big deal I really don't know.

All I had to do was take in my SSN which had my maiden name on it..and utility bill ( for address) my passport, Canadian License and my Marriage Cert to do the name change. That was about it. I went to the office on Randolph downtown Chicago. There is a desk when you walk in tell them what you are there for. They give you a number and check your docs. Then you will have to go to the counter when called do your eye exam..and written test right out in the open. Not a big deal . They are suppose to give you back your Canadian license as well. Not a big deal. I don't even think they checked my I-94..you could take the forms in with you..but I think all they really want to see if that you have and I-94.

Hope that helps!

Thanks everyone. We are still in shocked about how fast it was ourselves; we really had no idea how long it was going to take or what to expect. Goodluck to you all! Heres to a speedy approval for everyone!

Congrats to everyone who is getting their EAD and AOS Approvals!!! Thats great news! Cheers! To a great weekend!)*tinking of glass here* I dont have a beverage Icon to put there..lol

We just got the email well two of them, saying that our I-485 was approved and Card Production has been order! Part of me is in shock and likely wont believe it until I see the card in my hands! :energetic:

Just wanted to wish the rest of you the best of luck. Sounds like they are moving a long on the March Filers, and your in the home stretch! I hope to see you all approved soon!

EAD was touched yesterday! I hope this means approval is around the corner. <3

Still no "pending at CSC" e-mail. It's been 44 days. EAD is of most importance now, so I'm not too worried about it. Yet.

I'm with ya! I did get an email saying they approved my AP, so now I just need the EAD so I can use my AP. lol..I 'm sure they will approve ours anytime now. All the best!

After awhile i finally recieved email that my case is pending in CSC!79 days after sending the application.

I dont know what this email give us?!

I take it that your application was actually transferred a while ago. Correct? If you are just receiving this message, it probably means that they have gotten around to working on your case.

Mo

I got the same email, woohoo! I got the transfer notice a while ago. I took this as exactly that..someone is checking out our case! Hope all is in order!

Now I am just waiting for work on my EAD.

Goodluck everyone!

Yes he has the right form. Every RCMP for whatever reason have a different Colour/style sheet, but it all means the samething. Mine said exactly what his does. I DO NOT Have a record either, so it was just blank.

Good luck in the process!

Actually I just reread you OP. IF he DOES have a record I am not sure what the sheet would look like. In the past those WITHOUT a Record have had the different colour style sheets. Sorry about the confusion.
