I received a NOA today which states that in order to speed up processing my case has been transferred to the CSC. I'm still searching for the thread in which I had read about this before but does this mean I won't have to endure the interview up in St. Louis that I thought I was going to have to attend?

Thanks.

Oh you are a life saver!

My only concern with the truck is that I'll be in it at the border when I activate the K1.

Thanks for your help!

Yep, you can do the same thing with your truck..... import it at a later date. You will need to know the value of both vehicles. You can find the Kelley Blue Book value here: Kelley Blue Book. Keep it as low as possible because if your State taxes you at the time of registration they will use that amount. You can also provide a letter of explanation if you believe it is worth less than the blue book value.

Your assumption was right on the money. I had assumed that I needed to get my bike out of the country so that I could legally import it. Thanks for that information! I'll call the POE tomorrow to confirm that I can bring it to them after I get the necessary paperwork (letter of conformance and EPA stuff).

Not sure if this should go in a different topic or not but I have a similar issue with my truck that I'm planning on driving down into the US this weekend but I don't have the necessary paperwork yet. Is it possible to get some sort of waiver to permit the vehicle to be imported pending inspection?

Thanks again.

Sorry. Kinda confused by your post. You are bringing the bike from the US to Canada to import it and then taking it back to the US again? Sorry if that's not what you're saying but I will answer on the assumption that it is. If it's already in the States you can just take it to a local POE. You can find a list of them here: CBP - Locate POE

Welcome to VJ!

I hope someone knows the answer to this. As a Canadian resident I know I can't bring a US rental car into the country, but am I able to bring a rented trailer or borrowed trailer with US registration into Canada while being towed with my Canadian registered vehicle?

Need to get my motorcycle back into Canada so I can import it to the US (work didn't allow me to ride it back up before winter set in).

Thanks

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the input.

I should be fine with the 1 year validity of the certificate; I-129F is being processed now and hopefully that'll take less than a year, plus it'll take a few months at least to get the finger print check results back. Just glad I don't have to wait for packet 3 from Vancouver.

hi,

I dont think its a problem if you apply now... before applying just check out... how long is the certificate valid for because you will have to keep in mind when will your case will be completed so by that time your certificate should be valid.

My understanding is that you don't need the type of police certificate that is based on finger prints. The one based on name + date of birth is sufficient. I received mine after a week.

Hope this helps.

When I was a punk kid I was charged under the young offenders act so I'm 99.99% sure that counts as a criminal record. Granted, this is going back almost 20 years ago and have a spotless record since this incident (it was a minor incident as well) but just to be on the safe side I'd rather have the full fingerprint check in hand for when the interview is scheduled.

I'll likely look into obtaining court records as well, not even sure if they'd still exist. I'm approaching all this with the mind set of being fully transparent about everything because it would really suck to have a minor incident that happened nearly 20 years ago be the thing that causes my case to be delayed.

There could be a rather lengthy wait for the Certified Criminal Record Check through the RCMP (listed at 2 to 12 months) is there any problem with applying for this well in advance of the I-129f being approved or must I wait until the Consulate in Vancouver has received everything from NVC?

Has your fiance received the NOA-2 yet approving the I-129f? I think the easiest thing to do would be to wait until that is approved and forwarded to the Consulate in Montreal - then notify the Consulate of the changed mailing address. You would have a case number by that time that you could use to match the file and the information.

I appreciate the input, thank you. We just received out NOA-1 in the mail today. Our case should be handled through Vancouver rather than Montreal but I'll be certain to contact them as soon as I have a case number.

Thanks again for the info.

Ok, I'm an idiot. I just realized that we made a mistake on our I-129F. My street address is different than my mailing address (I'm the foreign beneficiary) and I listed the street address.

I had convinced myself somehow that all the packets would be sent to the embassy and nothing would be sent to me directly (don't know how I came to this conclusion in hindsight but that's not the point now). Is there anything I can do at this point or am I totally up the creek here?

Sorry if this question has been asked a million times already. I've searched around the site but haven't found a clear answer to this question yet.

I'm the foreign fiance of a USC and I'm struggling to find how I can include my liquid assets on the I-134. My fiance is likely a little short in meeting the 125% above the poverty line (or at the very least, too close for comfort) but my liquid assets easily cover this requirement.

I realize the option is available to have a co-sponsor and my future in-laws wouldn't have an issue with pitching in to help but I'd rather not put the burden on them.

Would I be best to fill out an I-134 with just liquid assets shown (my income not being eligible) or would this come up during my interview and have to show proof of assets.

Thanks,

Steve
