TRKCKL11

Hi everyone hope someone can stear me in the right direction here. My children and I are in the U>S> on k3/k4 i now have my 10 year green card but the kids k4 has since expired We are now in the position to file paperwork for a new visa for them then to get their green cards.Where do I start? do I just do the I130 or is there something else I have to do? Please i hope to get forms done today thank you

got approval today card will be here next week

well we had our interview today and it was very quick and painlees a few questions and some copies of bills etc and we should have the card the following friday. he also gave us some advice for getting my childrens cards done.we are so glad this part is over now best of luck to everyone

Well since i've only travelled through the border states westward and am now living in Idaho I'd say this is a great state,though i did fall in love with cali on vacation calavaras county' and coming from manitoba and our winters there the last 2 years have felt like home without the -45 windchill, but i'd say as long as i'm with my love we could live anywhere.

Hi everyone glad ifound the canadian link in this I have been in the us since july of 07, unforunately my husband got laid off this past winter, so things went on hold for fileing for AOS keeping our home we bought in july of 08 was more important, so anyways needless to say i filed for a visa extension which they wouldn't except unless i filed for my AOS so i have now done that even though visa and EAD expired in march and April of 09. Good news so far is they cashed my cheque and my biometrics have been scheduled.P.S my husband now has a better job and I'm working so hopefully all is good with this. my only worry is the late fileing of this but i'm sure they will understand the economic times and family unity, I think they should just skip the interview part and come over for dinner and see us a family it would be much quicker lol. I wish the best for all of us canadians in this time. P.S.S My parents just visited from manitoba for 2 weeks and they are both so happy with my life here with my children and hubby they love our home and were eyeing up the house for sale 2 dooors down lol talk soon all

My dad had heart surgury so I went back home to be with my mom thankfully that all went well but I tell you I was freaking out in the car at 4 am to go get my train I never had problems before they really need to get the border people better informed on this.

Hi everyone I haven't posted in a year but i'm back . Well due to the fact my aos papers got held up in the mail they were returned a few months later with a denial due to the new fees.We are down to the last few months and we need to send this all in visa expires march 18th 09. Hubby and I just bought a house in july so things are tight for the moment but our total fees for this is now 2850.00 as a k3/4 me and 2 kids plus we need to do their I130's with this.Will it make it harder if I just file for myself and save money for their fileing. i could really use some help on this.Any advice would be great thank you all.

dependent on the age of the kids it could be just more expensive.

The harder will be logistical items such as travel limitations

I'm hoping i can borrow from my parents to get this done, another quick question am i in trouble for going to canada to visit on my k3 visa? the border guy wasn't going to let me but he gave in i hope he was just confused about the visa type

Hi I hope someone here has an answer for me. I haven't filed my AOS yet for myself and my 2 kids, I have my EAD and my ssn card, my kids don't yet,can my Us husband claim them without their cards? Thanks in advance for any help. terry

Hi everyone well we got bad news. I sent my AOS paperwork july 27th well i'm not sure where it went but it wasn't received till aug 7th so the rejection letter states that i need to send in the 950.00 and reapply.They did send the money order back so i have to go cash it.Well at least i received my EAD card. Good luck to all hope noone else gets that letter

We had no problem with my canadian car we went to state farm i gave them permission to get my driving record , then to put plates on they just looked at the car took my paper from the border i gave them a piece of mail with my name and address here and it was all done. for my licence i just need a denial letter from ssn, my canadian drivers abstract and proof of residence then i can write the test and do the drivers test. How do you undo 25 years of bad driving habits .Its the stupid laws here that you have to remember LIKE if you hit a farmers cow on the highway you have to pay him for his cow. Its a crazy world... good luck

CONGRATS I just received my card production notice today also . Now i can finally collect my unemployement checks from canada

I'm on the same time line as you no word yet I'll do the info pass then figure out who to call in congress

Hi everyone. First I want to thank everyone for their support and advice. Well we had our hearing to drop the no contact order and it did not go well.The prosecuter refused to drop it,I think she was clueless. then she tells the judge that i have a attempted obstruction of justice charge from st catherines ont from 1987(i've never been there lol).So my lawyer says how I've been through all the checks to get my visa and that my record is clear. my lawyer then questioned my husband under oath and that went well so the judge makes a stupid remark about canadian border not letting dui people enter and says that wouldn't happen at our border what a dumb a**. and then somehow decided i have a substance abuse problem. ####### he pulled that outta thin air.so it was denied and we go back aug 29th.My lawyer wasn't there and i had a sub, but i met with my lawyer and he's reviewing the hearing and also researching immigration issues for me.He was very shocked it wasn't dropped then he said that Kootnai county has the worst judges, prosecuters, and sherriffs dept in Idaho. So once this is all done we are starting a lawsuit. I'll let you know how it all goes next week. Oh i got my hosp bill 385.00 just to tell me there wouldn't be enough drug left in my system to test and it would be extremely expensive to do.

All the words I could say to you have been said before me,all i can say is my prayers are with you and your family a parent should never have to bury their children.Your tribute to your son was very moving.I believe we all here at vj shed tears for you.we are here for you when you need to talk.please take care terry and george

hi all , we have no idea why they charged me ,Maybe because of my condition they did. When I realized I musted of been drugged I did ask for a drug test but they ignored my request. I'm seeing a lawyer first thing today. I totally agree with the sippy cup idea.I'm still have after effects of this. I checked online and everything points to acid.I don't use drugs so I'm sure it explains the bad trip. I'll keep you all informed. Thank you all for caring. I guess the first court date is in 2 weeks so we have no contact till then. I guess hubby did tell them about immigration stuff and they said its ok ,its a misdemeaner charge.

sent july 27th money order noa1 no

hi all i just wanted to post this warning to all. Its kinda like it would never happen to me. Hubby and I attended a concert in spokane sun night all was great till someone drugged my drink. we think it was acid or something well the details are sketchy for me but needless to say somehow we got seperated from each other and I was on a strange drug trip, Well the story ends with me being arrested for domestic battery (hubby never laid charges) I spent the worse night of my life in jail.I got out late monday night I spent the day suffering the after effects of the drug.I'm at my step daughters as there is a no contact order in effect. SO PLEASE NEVER LEAVE YOUR DRINK UNATTENDED.I'll keep you posted to how this pans out.oh and due to the drug i couldn't stop crying so they put me on a suicide watch in jail.I miss my hubby so much hopefully the order will be dropped. hope this never happens to any of you terry and george

I guess things aren't all that bad I finally got them to see i'm not the (money tree).Once school starts and I can start working then things will change. When your used to solitude with only 2 kids,and then 8 more come in its crazy here. When i get down i think of hubbys coworker making fun of us.."SMITH FAMILY PARTY OF 42". going through a drive through requires 3 cars lol. in a month and a half we will have a new grand daughter to add to the mix of 7 daughters 1 foster daughter 2 sons 2 son-in-laws, and 4 grand daughters.

can you sell the car to help? I was in that same position with my car loan in canada (my only debt)

Allie I got my EI papers 2 days after arrival one envelope looked like it was dumped in water.double check how the address is written apt numbers and box numbers are last here

Thank goodness for this forum (CANADIAN) I have only been here 3 weeks though I was back in canada for 1 week for an annual AGW (all girls weekend). I really miss my family,I talk to my mom almost daily,and keep up with the news of home.I'll see them all next week at the family reunion in sask. Health care isn't an issue yet, the kids are covered. I was a single mom for a few years,so i got used to being on my own, the kids are kinda bored here, but once school starts i'm sure it will be different I'm just tired of paperwork for every thing.I don't think hubby would ever consider moving to canada he won't even discuss it at all.His kids are here and now grand children too,though I had to leave my son behind (he didn't want to move). YES I MISS HOME. His kids don't knock and just walk in whenever they feel like it (age 21 and 20). I better stop before i have a meltdown.Still can't get my drivers license i need a abstract from manitoba( probally the only province with no access from out of province) LIFE WILL GET BETTER FOR US ALL JUST REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE YOUR SPOUSE.

I miss the flavor of canadian cigs, hubby smokes camel ultra lights or marlboro ultra lights .I find myself chain smoking them way too light but i guess it may be easier to quit. My mom said the next time she sees me I better have quit,oops that will be next week, we have a big family reunion in Big River Sask, Think I'll bring 2 cartons under 30.00 a carton here.

the mysterious brown envelope contains every piece of paper or copies of it all that we have sent in The border opened ours in front of me so i saw it all

Hi everyone OK i'm going to send my I485 in this week to beat the deadline i filed and had my biometrics for the I765 already so that part is done. Now since we never filed the I130 for my kids can we wait to do theirs at a later date or should i fill the I130 for them and submit it with the AOS. I'm really confused by this whole thing. Any help is greatly appreciated
