if my memory serves me right, that first pic didn't look all that ethnic.

Hasn't he shared with us that he is an immigrant? (Cambodia maybe?)

Yeah, and I'm really Sheba - Queen of the Jungle.

In disguise.

the funniest part of the idea that console master may be 'someone else' is the amount of time that individual must have spent egregiously posting to get those little hearts! especially if that persons alter ego is a regular poster on VJ already.

Geesh...it's like it's his job or something!

hmmm, maybe not HIS photo we saw......

You've been on this site a year longer than me....and you are only one box ahead!

Sue

Welcome to VJ!!

you guys crack me up

From NPR this morning:

...according to recent court decision in India, prolonged refusal of marital sex is a form a mental cruelty and grounds for divorce.

So if the woman can't get a divorce on some silly grounds like spousal abuse, then all she needs to do is withhold sex, and he will handle the divorce!

Sounds good to me...although I wonder what time frame she'd be looking at

(disclaimer: This is meant to be tongue in cheek and not meant to poke fun at gender inequities in India)

Plus there will be not enough time for VJ

Wahooo!!

I'm now a gold member!

Now I feel like I have sooo faaarrr tooo goooooo

non-sequitar comment to see if i get a box.

Sue

thanks...do you get another box at 400? if so then I'm due in another post.

I guess I'll find out soon.

I just realized that an average of 57 posts a day..........I need to get a life

having a life is overrated. Can I post ####### with you all for a while?

It at leastt make it looks like I have something useful to do....touch typing on the computer always makes people look useful.

sue

lol...thanks for trying

I've actually found some stuff, I went through the Trinidad and Tobago - Canadian Embassy and found some more info there.

It doesn't look good though. What I'm seeing is that after deportation reentry is barred permanently without ministerial permission. I'm not sure how hard/expensive that will be, but I'll keep looking.

U.S. LPR's do not require a visa to visit Canada. Not a clue on the previous overstay. LOL I don't understand the term "voluntarily deported"....... seems like an oxymoron to me. Did he leave before he got caught or after he got caught but before he was forced out.

I guess it does sound a bit strange. I'm not sure of the exact procedure tht happened but basically they said..."You over stayed, do you want to fight it or just go home?" he chose just go home. He signed the papers and they sent him home.

I realize there will be some type of procedure/permission to be granted, I was just hoping someone would have an idea on the normal wait time....maybe the equivalent to the US 10 year ban? or where to find out what the process would be. the Canadian websites seem to be completely devoid of anything on the topic.

Sue

Stick!!!

I like being involved in the driving.

Although upon looking further on that site, it looks like nobody has posted there in well over a week. I'm not sure there is anyone around to answer any question. Soooo, I'd still welcome anyone elses thoughts on this.

Thanks

Sue

Thanks Misa,

I've posted my question there, hopefully there are a few people on that site that are as well-versed as on VJ.

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for indulging me this non-US visa question.

If a person from a country that needs a visa to Canada overstayed (by a year or two) and was voluntarily deported wanted to get back into Canada for a short visit. How long would it take? Is there a similar 10 year ban and then another application process? Also, if this person gained US-LPR status would this make a difference ... such as, would he need to apply for a visa from his home country? or could he enter with LPR status even though he would still hold his home countries passport?

If anyone knows anything about this, or could tell me where to find the info I would be very appreciative. I have looked through the CIC site but can't seem to find any info on overstays.

Thanks a million

Sue

Glad to hear you had such a good experience. JFK will be our POE also...I hope we get that guy too!

Sue

Welcome!

There are some people on here with fiance's in Ghana, I'm sure you'll come across them eventually.

Good Luck

Sue

dafodils or tulips?

Dora,

Sorry to hear your news. It will be a loss to not have you around anymore. It makes me appreciate the inner strength we all need to have through this experience and I applaud your strength in trying to see it through. I hope you have people around you to support you during this time.

Good Luck in the future, it has been a pleasure.

Sue

Hey Sue,

I was just told by someone at the embassy that your "joint sponsor" is supposed to fill out the I-864 form with will need to be accompanied by a copy of their recent IRS income tax return.

Chandra, It sounds like you got some bad information.

In regards to a K-1 visa, the I-864 is filled out at the time of AOS...not the interview. For Barbados you will need the I-134. This is standard in most embassies and definatly the process in Barbados. I have already received packet 3 from them and it requires the I-134 form. The I-864 refers to a second sponsor as a 'joint sponsor' but the I-134 makes no mention of it. You may have an additional person submit an I-134 if you don't meet the requirements (which neither of us can given our volunteer status).

I hope this doesn't slow you down too much.

By the way, nice to hear from you, hope all is well.

Sue

Congrats TimsDaisy!

Onward!

Sue

I went through a different USCIS center, but I never received my NOA1 either. No problems for me at all, I got my NOA2 and it was all shipped to NVC. I agree with the previous posters though, you really should ensure that the USCIS has your address recorded correctly. There is always the possibility of human error when entering in your information.

Sue

It's news to me that mulitculturalism removes any validity to the laws governing a country. If this judge were right then there are all sorts of things people could or could not do based on where they are from. So by ruling that multiculturalism overrides local or governmental law...he by rights puts himself out of a job. How can one judge the law when it differs from one person to the next?
