I know how you feel, seeing someone thrown into AP has me really worried, and the fact that its possibly by a new CO that either:

A) Is trying to be a hardass over immigration because its becoming a hot button topic in the US just now.

B) Just hasnt got the experience to make a call on anything but a 100% straightforward case

makes me even more concerned.

If he would have at least said what the hell he needed to check out it would have helped so we know if we will get stuck in the same pitfall or not.

Specially now that someone has published a clear print of both sides....

You mean the USCIS? Since thats where it was linked from...

I've actually never touched a pregnant woman's stomach, ever.

I wanted to reserve that feeling for my own pregnancy... if it'll ever happen. Dunno if it will, my husband's being real immature about his debt and hasn't paid any for 7 months and I swear if it's not paid off by our 5th anniversary we're not having kids. He's already had the debt for 6 years!

Ugh.

I often think that being an adult pretty well inevitably involves being in debt for a long time. Bleh.

Holy Cow! 12?!?

My case has been put in AP.. he said it probably wouldn't take longer than a week, should I believe them? They did keep my passport, and I wasn't "missing" anything. I honestly have no idea what this is for.

And I can't even get ahold of Kevin.. so upset.

Oh no

This is exactly the kind of thing that worries me for my upcoming interview.

Would be nice if they at least had told you why.

I hope its solved soon, fingers crossed for you.

While there in there. maybe they can poke around your liver? Ahh Marilyn....you're having a sucky couple days, waiting stinks when you want to know what's going on.

I think almost all gallbladder surgery is laproscopic (sp?) so there isnt really any easy way to poke around since they only make itty bitty holes exactly where they need em to get to the gall bladder with the tools and not much else. :/

Chicken Little type reactions of "SELL! SELL! SELL!" dont help the situation any either, I can imagine how many times this type of post was repeated around the web and prompted even more of a spiral.

Yea, expect around $100+ a box and be sure to indicate the contents as personal/used effects.

Ive sent stuff through UPS that way, it only took about a week (or less) and there were no fees at the destination.

Just be sure to indicate what it is. If he goes to a UPS store or Mailboxes etc. sometimes the person at the counter can help with filling the form properly.

It wasnt a .50 though, IIRC it was a Lapua .338, often considered to be the best round for sniping use.

oh how I would love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation

I'm sitting here watching videos of the guy who got tased for running onto the field at a Phillies game the other night, and then I see someone did it the next night. I can't believe people are actually saying that is an excessive use of force. I still remember watching the game about 5 years ago where two drunk idiots ran onto the field and beat up a coach. I know that alcohol + sports is an equation for disaster, but you throw in a philly fan into that equation and it is like a nuclear bomb waiting to happen.

There are always those that cry about "excessive force" just because its the police.

Same thing would have been said Im sure if tazers werent allowed and they tackled them to the ground and roughed them up while getting them in cuffs.

Its just nuts

I did not send a photo with the packet 3 forms. All the answers here were just to bring one with you to the interview. (Also I hear if you forget, theres a photo-booth in the consulate)

So with the interview looming on the 20th, Ive been reading more and more of the MTL consulate reviews for ideas on what they are likely to ask, how stressed out Im going to be (or not?). One thing Ive noticed is that in the last month, a question has been being asked sporadically of the USC "Do you have medical insurance?" I assume that the sudden interest is related to the Medical insurance reforms that the US signed into law or whatever, but more importantly, does anyone have any idea if answering "no" to this question will cause a denial for the K-1? My Fiancee doesnt have insurance currently, and we are unlikely to have any until I can get working also. So like everything else in this whole process, this worries me somewhat to answer no if Im asked, if it wasnt important, why ask?

All thoughts are welcome

For the compliance letter, do I just need to contact a dealer? or contact the head office?

I just used Canada post next day with tracking.

Im really sure this would only be needed if there is something to be concerned about in your history that you need to let them know for sure its no longer an issue, or perhaps if you are on a steady medication that is used to keep you healthy

I had my medical on the 5th, my answer was "No" to all the medical "have you ever had" questions...and no one asked for such a letter

My husband actually makes fun of that fact that Canadians use the brand name of many items instead of the actual product...such as Kraft Dinner for Mac and Cheese or saying Kleenex when asking for a tissue.

He notices the little things while in Canada...like Mr. Christie products are Nabisco in the States but with the exact same logo. Or his biggest pet peeve...the fact that our peanut butter cups say Reese on the package, not Reese's.

And Yet Americans do the same "Otter Pop" is a brand name of popcicle.

I always thought it was universal to do that

Sweet! Over what distance is this move? Mine is from Ontario to California and so they're quoting $2200. Still better then Uhaul tho with gas and all that...

$2200? Im going to be moving from Brampton, On to Hollister, CA and the website is quoting about $3000.

Did you call for a quote or something?

Can you?? On the cheques it says "not to be cashed outside of canada" at least thats what it said on my maternity EI cheques.... hmmm...

You can get the money Direct deposited, no cheques needed

It touched PARITY today!

Every economic analyst out there is indicating its going to surpass the US dollar, and stay there quite some time, many indications are years.

Look for parity or better this week.

Congratulations! Happy to hear it went so well

We are trying to finish the forms for my packet 3 to be sent back to montreal but the form DS-160 is giving me a headache with it wanting a picture. We dont have any that fit what it says it wants. on my sheet that tells me what forms i have to send back it says i also need a "confirmation receipt regrading Form DS-160" we have filled out all the info and without uploading a pic you cant click on the next button. we went to preview and printed the info off there but we arent getting a confirmation receipt..... I'm just wondering what exactly are they talking about when they say "confirmation receipt"? and when we print out the forms through the preview does it have all the questions it asked you about?? I think it does but i couldnt really tell.

Sorry if someone has asked this before and I know i had mentioned the picture thing before but still not working like I thought it would. thank you anyone who can help with this

Im pretty sure a lot of people couldnt get that thing to work (myself included), just fill it out, go through it, and at the end, try to attach a picture, it wont let you, then it allows you to proceed without a picture, you just have to bring an extra to the intervew is what others have said.

OMG YAY! May 20! 8am!!!!

Finally booked! 2 months to get ready....although Im well over half ready, I guess I should just pack the house up

Im thinking they must just have piled up the P3's as they received them oldest on bottom, newest on top, then started assigning top to bottom or something odd.

Woot!!

Well, with a .22-calibre handgun and a .22-calibre rifle, he wasn't going to hunt, lol

Gophers maybe....

So, have you called yet?

This was along weekend for me too! lol ... I will find out if I made the cut or not. My P3 was logged on Thursday. I am dying. I will cry if I missed it by a day.

I was looking back and saw Amanda2020 was logged on jan 25th and got her interview date on Jan 26th... so Im still hopeful. But stressed as hell.

My Fiancee is calling this morning once shes awake a little more. I cant call from work unfortunately, and the building is super weird here where cell reception is weak to non-existant. The area Im in is like a black hole for cell signals, so powerful, nothing escapes!
