Figure that is what I am going to be doing also. Will be cheaper if I use Airbnb.  Im in Manitoba, which is far from everything.

 

Glad to be keeping the snow and Michigan isn't so far from home either. You are off to Georgia? I think they get a dusting of snow occasionally

Yeah, I looked into AirBnB as well, not sure if that's what I'll do or not, but it's a pretty good option.

Ha! They got a dusting this winter and everyone was so excited and I just kind of laughed. At least the winters will be nice sand safe for a change, no road issues. And no more winter jackets! Seems like I'm replacing winter jackets with AC. Haha.

So am I! 

The medical portion is a worry for me, as there is not an authorized Dr in my area. I have to fly to either Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver for the exam.  Another added cost..

Yeah, I'm in Alberta, so when I figured that out it was frustrating. Since we're going to the Montreal Embassy, I called their Doc and got the info about it. They will have the results in 3 business days, so I've planned to be in Montreal for a week, so I can get the medical done, then linger there between that and the interview. For me it's cheaper to do it in one trip, as the hotel for a few days is cheaper than all new flights at a different time. 

You're heading to Michigan? At least you'll be able to keep some snow. I'm going to miss it horribly.

We just filed on the 12th of July and  are anxiously waiting for the  NOA1! Glad to have some company on this journey!

Awesome! Glad to have a fellow Canadian going through this!

My passport photo just got to my fiance yesterday, so we're going through everything tonight so we can mail it off this week! Can't wait to get it rolling. 

Oh ok! So he will do the updated info at that time. This whole process is a bit confusing. Thank you!

Hi there! My fiance is about to file our I-129f and he's planning on finding a new job once it's filed, is that something we'll need to let USCIS know about? He will be finding a job of the same pay or better. 

Thank you all for your help  

I'm actually curious if it matters if the petitioner changes jobs shortly after filing. My fiance is planning on finding a new job (he wouldn't change jobs if it was less money though) and I wonder if he'd have to update the petition. 

Hey July Filers! I'll be joining this group shortly. My fiance is taking today to fill out the paperwork, so we should be getting it filed very shortly! Good luck everyone  

Hey June Filers! Just wanted to pop in here. Following your journeys as mine will be starting in July, so our timelines will be similar I think. I've already learned a lot just going through this and a few other threads. Thank you all for sharing so much info, it makes the whole process seem less daunting.

Good luck to you all!
