A mormon or moron thing?

Mormon. They're supposed to store food in case of emergencies.

It's a Mormon thing. 

My inlaws gave us money for our first home. Bank wire is best since your lender is going to want to see where the money came from. 

Never do do a check or cashiers check. Inlaws gave us some cash recently as a gift cuz FIL sold his business and retired, and even though it was in US funds, the bank likes to milk it and can hold on to your money for 6 weeks. They basically try to make us much money as they can on it till they give it to you. Think we only had to wait 2 weeks but it was still annoying. 

We did newfoundland to california with a uhaul trailer. Whatever the biggest one they have, we towed. No problems. Had a list, but they didn't even bother with it.

I haven't posted in forever, but, I had a similar IV problem. They stabbed me four times till the realized that the tube that runs the ####### in was closed off. Needless to say, because of that, I had to go all natural. I was 9 days over due, and my son came out quick. I got to the hospital and an hour later, delivered a 9lb 11oz baby on May 26th. He just keeps getting bigger tho lol. At one month, he was already at 13lbs. Its been two weeks since that weigh in, I think he's gained 2 lbs. Anyways, here is our newfie/cali baby

and he will be a shark one day hopefully

We both posted on a poker forum, and I got an xbox, added people from that site, he was one of them. Talked all the time, then one day, I took off to Canada, moved in with him (without meeting him IRL and this was very fast), and we got married about 9 months afer I got to Canada. That was back in 2007. He is a citizen now, and have little less than 2 weeks till I deliver our son (hopefully soon).

I think my story is a bit crazier than most, and I don't really recommend just taking off to another country to live with someone, but I felt it was right, so I did it. We had some tough times, but everyone does. Seems to have worked out for me at least

Hope it helps, i sent in a bunch of stuff after the interview, but it should help. I got a lease online that was fairly long, but looks like a normal lease and just used that. Hope its enough for you because waiting after sending in the more stuff after the interview was probably the most stressful of it all.

Mine was with my mother, so that won't matter. No need for a previous lease. I personally thought it was silly to sign a lease with my mother, but oh well, they asked and they received it.

make a lease and have them scan over a signed copy to you. Bank info and address and saying you're going to go back wasn't enough. I had to give them a lease, i registered for school, sent in my voter registration goodies. if there was more, i don't remember, i've posted it before.

When I went, they cared. Bring strong ties of domicile. They will ask for proof you're going home.

I will just post to help you guys as well as others for timeline reasons.

Late to post but obv help out with the data, add me see the sig or check the timeline. but approved as of march 3, early december filer (california service center)

RIP pretty sure you don't. might be mentioned if you file for citizenship, but even then, you're ok. so sorry. can't even imagine

doesn't matter why you divorced (at least in your case, sounds like) if he can prove he entered the marriage in good faith, then he is ok. you're trying to prove YOU exited in good faith, and no one cares about that. if its a failure of marriage just because (this is what you say btw) then who cares. why are you trying to stop him? don't lie. it will always bite you in the ####. people are not pets. choose wiser next time.

We crossed in Houlton and I'd assume the experience at any land crossing is the same. Just pull up, tell them you're activating your visa, they tell you to pull over and go inside where they take care of all your stuff. We had a U-Haul, so we had a list of contents in that, they just looked at the paper, didn't bother looking inside the trailer (which was probably good since it was -36F and im pretty sure the lock was frozen). Took them about an hour to take care of all the paper work. They may seem mean, but they are just strictly business there. They weren't rude, just serious.

i sent random months from checking and savings, like oct, march, etc. thing was over 60 pages, see if its enough, if not, they're gonna get 60 more

and nevermind I guess. I'm sending in random months covering the accounts. Packet is already over 50 pages lol.

Just wondering how many bank statements should I be sending in. I have checking, savings and HSA accounts. Obv this is of statements for almost 2 years, what is good range of ####### I should be sending in?

sweet only 3 and a half more months till hockey season. go sharks. gg nabakov....i like him, but he is so gone.

He would not have to give up his Canadian citizenship. He can be dual, and your kids most likely are dual too. (You have to have your husband report the child's birth abroad with the appropriate Canadian authorities and get this child their passport). and Canadian immigration will not care about your bankruptcy.

As far as immigrating to Canada, there are two ways, in country and out of country. out is faster.

Husband and wife can be at the interview in Montreal. But like I said, if you're going to stay in Canada for the process, be careful when it comes to the interview. Read the links about the denials in Montrael (though they are asking for more proof when they deny you, its just a heartbreaker) and what they look for domicile. I stayed in Canada for the entire process, but I now look at things and think its gotten tougher at the interview stage, even though we got denied for the domicile issue. But as far as filing and everything, you're ok. I didn't work for years and the joint sponser was ok. Interview stage is a far way out, but that is something to think about in the future and when you get closer to it and if you're still in Canada. Just a heads up. And thank you for clarifying.

This is a CR1 case. "Parents" plural can only be "household members" using the I-864a if they live in the same household as the petitioner. Otherwise ONE "parent" singular may act as a joint sponsor.

true, that is if there is two parents filing on the same tax return. if its just one parent, and her in the same household but not as a dependent, then only the other form is ok. maybe that is obvious, but since you're quick to point that out, i shall too. since i basically did what she did. My other post was to post how important the domicile issue is to Montreal at this time.

domiclie? ....I'm a U.s. citizen and i'm married to a canadian citizen. We got married in California on September 26th, 2009 (he came down and his family for the wedding)..... after we got married I went to live in Canada with him and we recently decided to move to California. I've come back to the u.s. to eventually find a job and apartment....I didn't file any paperwork when i was in Canada. My status in Canada has only been visitor.

as others said, you're fine to file with using your parents as a joint sponser, just be advised that if you're still in Canada with your husband at the time of the interview, you most likely will be denied and have to prove that you intend to go to the USA.

doesn't seem like they're struggling to me. i mean the only way you guys can get the lead is if we score it for you. sharks needed that. they will go undeafted and win the cup, it is their time. sharks vs caps, sharks win in four. (though i do heart ovechkin)

f the avs, go sharks. they're taking it all w00t.
