good luck cd and please keep us updated, i'm finished up move to my parents then july 2nd is d day for me. let us know how other paperwork moves along. have fun

Thanks CD i was wondering if that was the way to go. I take it biometrics are the finger prints I wonder if they can use the ones vancouver took of mine? I'm going to go in April after i"m settled at my parents and get things started then leave my job on june 9th hopefully i'll have my record of employment fast and get EI moving before we leave july 2nd.

OK everyone i'm ready to start next steps here and want to make sure i am clear on everything. Ok so i got the k3/k4 visas. my I130 petition was approved also. So now i need to send in the I130 for my 2 kids since i didn't do it when i did mine I hadn't found this site then. so those will catch up to mine.but while i'm waiting for those approvals i can file my EAD form.Now do i have to wait for the kids approval or can i now file for aos for all 3 or just mine?we will be adjusting in the U.S. hope this post makes sense

hi since you are just checking i did also go to air canada jazz or westjet under 200.00 one way calgary to montreal 2 of us flew round trip winnipeg to vancouver for under 700.00 great trip and no problems

Hi everyone just got the email saying our visas have been approved and were mailed to me today,I guess mondays aren't so bad Right misa thank you for all your kinds words of encouragement, now on to EAD.

thats wonderful news good luck packing i'm doing the same

Hi I'm following your journey also as i"m doing the same thing,I couldn't find too much info either.I'm wondering if we can get stuff started at EI before the move then fax info needed to EI.As soon as I find out how long it takes to get my record of employment. When are you planning to make your final move?I'm not leaving till July 2nd.I'll keep searching also Good Luck

Misa you will do great, they are so friendly there. Hold your white envelope out for guard to see you'll betaken right in.I can't wait to hear about it tuesday.

If you go to passport office tell them why you need it fast they will do it for immigration i applied and had mine in 2 weeks costs 10.00 extra per passport

Hi About the finger printing even though you get a clear check from canada this check is the U.S. one and is like canada also it will print out any name similar to yours including birth year so if you have a common name like Smith you will get lots of hits and if birth date is close enough they will do finger printing to clear you against other person.Its full set of prints too.So now my fingers are worth $8.50 each lol.As for the divorce paper I think some states do it different Idaho just stamps it.Hubby got another copy of it don't know what else to do he mailed it to me today.I'll email Vancouver and explain it to them again so hopefully they will accept it.If not I'm not sure what next step will be.

Hi everyone vancouver consulate was everything you said it would be to the point of deja vu.Every thing was going fine till we got to my husbands divorce papers they want something with a raised seal on it so hubby is going back to the courthouse for this and fedexing it to me, then my next road block was the name check,apparently mine came up as a match to some felon? So to the bank 85.00 more to be fingerprinted,i have no worries as i have never been arrested,so all they ask is for me to send back passports and divorce papers and then they'll send me my visa's.there was no problems with child custody, I don't feel bad though a k1 didn't have his I134 so he has to do the same. Yes it was raining but my mom and i had a great time. I'll keep everyone posted as to the end of this.

just a quick note to you I'm off to catch the plane to vancouver for tomorrows interview . I will post the results friday evening when I'm back. Have a great day all. terry

OMG I hope i'm not in trouble with this also my divorce states i have sole custody of the children and that he has reasonable access to them as we may agree, so there is no set visitation, plus my big problem is he no longer lives in winnipeg i have no address or telephone number for him, he hasn't seen or talked to the kids in over 2 years, am i going to be refused our visas my interview is on weds

if you go in person to passport office and tell them you need it for immigration ASAP you'll get it quicker i had my passports in 2 weeks

We are bringing our cat with us by car it will be a 24 hour drive.i have no idea yet how she is to travel with we got her last year from a family that divorced and couldn't keep her as far as i know we are her 3rd family. shes adapted great to house shes a very laid back cat,but i think all this packing may be scaring her shes even more quiet,i give her lots of love,plus we are moving into my parents place for 2 1/2 months and they have a kitten so a lot of changes for her.I'd love to hear more stories also. P.S. i have to leave our gold fish and rabbit behind.

she checked and yes you can do that and if you have situation like mine you fill out schedule 5.good luck all i'm having mine efiled tomorrow.

Hi everyone I too have this problem, though mines a little different i have been claiming one child as equivilent to spouse and 1 child as a dependent,but now i have a husband.My sister works for revenue canada and is checking this today for all of us.If you Efile she says certain parts are keyed in and will bounce out of system for clarification so taxes will take longer. I will post tonight with the answers.I have all my stuff ready to go to rainy vancouver on weds interview is 10 am march8th yippee.

hi all after reading about montreal i'm so thankful i went k3 route in vancouverI'd suggest anyone who has a chance to transfer their cases to do so. flights are cheap if you use west jet or tango.

congrats on your wedding hope your day is absoluetly wonderful

heres some of my list......china lily soy sauce, 1kg size cheese whiz,pickeral,

WOW I thought the journey was rough. I just sold my home yesterday so now life is in kaos yet again. I have interview on march 8th and have to be out of my house by april 10th. I won"t be moving till july 2nd there abouts. so moving in with my parents which is more stress. Think fighting for computer time is the worse. Plus dad is having knee surgery april 11th and eye surgery the week before that. OMG will i survive i was hoping to travel to the U.S. for march end to see hubby. I'm just destressing here i'm sure most of us have similar stories Please add them to this so i'll know i'm not alone . Take care all.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY everyone.I had chocolate for breakfast today,its the only thing that tastes good right now.This is one valentines day i'm glad we are apart i got hit with the flu on monday and am still recovering. I have never been this sick in my entire life and i had my flu shot, no wonder people die from the flu the pain is un real.Hubby said wouldn't a candlelit dinner be nice, I said yes until i sneezed and cracked my head on the table it would be nice. Next year we'll celebrate hopefully flu free . Ok i need to go back to bed HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE

well being a proud canadian i prefer EH over HUH any day . using HUH just makes people sound stupid. My husband uses huh alot and it gets on my nerves. He still thinks its cute if i occasionly type EH in a conversation.Guess we all have to make adjustments.

hi i got march 8th interview date. I think the expiry date on petition may have something to do with scheduling. i asked for march 7th my petition expires march 14th.

Hi Stacey and all others in the same boat,I'm doing the same thing going to get to the U>S> and figure it out then the cr-1 letter stares at me on the desk. Once k3 is done I'll start figuring it all out with help from here good luck
