Hi, I'm completely new to this site and am not sure where to post my question... I discovered yesterday that I would need to show proof of several vaccinations. I know I've had everything that was on the go in the NS health system in the 80's, and had tetanus on an outpatient basis in 2005. I'm unable to find proof of anything. I read something about a titre test? Would that give proof either way for ALL the required vaccines to show at my medical exam? Thanks

Hi,

It depends on your age as to what you need. Here is a link for you to use that will help determine what you need.

Welcome to VISA JOURNEY!

Just want to say that I'm so sorry for the illness of your family member.

I filed the Cr1 for the very reasons you mention. Not wanting to be unable to see my family at home. Start the paperwork as soon as possible and file the hardship waiver too.

all the best,

I am whining here I know but it looks like September now for an interview in Montreal. Why are they so slow? Summer okay, but its been like this all year. The goof ups they've been doing as well arghhhhl Is it just me or does it seem like they are stalling?

Me too, this is quick and easy way to see how slow Montreal really is ..boo hoo!

Yahoo, another one approved! All the best!

The best of news! Much happiness to all four of you!

Awesome review! Yes Vancouver has energy and a nice place to spend a couple of days or more! I think its good to know you can email with any questions you have too! Well not long till your through with this process! then you can be a resident alum on this site!

Hope the house sale goes well

I wanna jump on this thread but need time to figure out the predictions...pleazzzzzz and thank you!

Hey just found this forum... thanks every little bit counts!

So sorry you went through that Reven! There are always some rude people in all walks of life. Hope all is well with you now! I too would complain and use Darnell's advice of what to expect for a reply. Krikits got a great link there too!

I had a difficult time when we were dating once and was in their office for over and hour. Usually though just the standard questions.

Hope this never ... NEVER happens to you again!

Be well and soon you'll live there!!!

I like Matthew... Ryan is a good name to follow for a middle name.

So happy for you both!!! Now married life will feel for real!

There are many of us blue about the wait. There are quite a few in the Sept. time frame still waiting.I feel for you though as your pregnant and that makes it more trying. Are you able to go visit him for awhile? At least its summer in Vancouver and the most beautiful time of the year! Maybe get out and take photo's so you will remember all the places and things you love here for a scrapbook for your wee one.

All the best for an interview date in July!!!

Dear Sir/Madam:

Please confirm our intent to apply and submit documents through this email.

Thank you.

Resent documents on May 5 2010 as per request.

May 21 Request for official divorce decree which they already have. I went to the Supreme court in Vancouver and asked for help. They said " yes you have the original," the US wants to see a red seal on it. So for $31 they stamped a red seal on it and initialed it and said that should work!

So this was sent in today MAY 21 2010

still waiting for SIF!

As everyone on here has said just bring rent receipts, utility bills, and be honest. The one time I was stopped I didn't think I needed to have those things, they still allowed me through with the warning to have them next time! I was naive about this process in the beginning. When you travel back and forth, and they see you come back when you say you will there doesn't seem to be a problem. They have all our info in the computer when they scan our passports. Homeland security doing their job.

The common questions I get .... business or pleasure and date of return.

Hope the POE has had a good day as well!

My boyfriend, who is the petitioner for our I-129F has been married before.

Does he need to get certified divorce papers from the court or can he just photocopy the papers that he has?

The instructions state "give copies of documents showing that each prior marriage was legally determinated" and "Unless specifically required that an original document be filed with an application or petition, an ordinary legible photocopy may be submitted."

So I would say a photocopy would be enough, but I read on the RFE Master list, that some people got an RFE, saying to send in certified papers. Did they maybe change the rules in the past?

Get a certified copy from the court. i sent an original for electronic Processing but it didn't have a court seal on it. i got an RFE for that so went down to the supreme court and they said the US government want an original certified copy with a seal on it. don't take a chance on the dreaded RFE!

A sign in fail would be great at this point ! so depressing.............

I can't believe how slow, how pathetic it is to wait this long for NVC and interviews. So I'm adding to this rant and also the different stories you get from the operators.:ranting: :secret:who do we complain to?:clock::diablo:

Congrats! Next step moving!

Do you have telephone records as well that may help proving your relationship. What about gas bills, restaurant bills, etc. on a credit card for your trips to visit.

Usually on digital camera's if you haven't deleted the images on the CF card the date and time remains allowing you to print that.

How about printing emails if you have saved them they have the date on those as well. Also text messages can be printed....

Hope this helps!!!

By the way keep track of your border crossing you will need those dates later:thumbs:

We received an RFE for lack of evidence, travelling to and from Canada no passport stamps, travelled by car so no boarding passes. Sent receipts, photos, engagement ring receipt too, not good enough. The only border document I have is a "temporary importation" that I filed with Canadian Customs to bring the ring into Canada the weekend I proposed (I didn't include it in the petition). It has my fiancee's name and is stamped and dated by Canadian customs. I have some other supporting evidence to submit and will try to write a better explaination as to how our relationship was established. I don't know if I should just submit the new documents or send all the evidence again new and previously submitted? The letter also stated that I should submit "film dated" photos, we sent photos that were not printed with the date. Should I have the photos reprinted and include the date if possible? They are digital photos so it maybe an option to have the date if the camera was setup properly. Maybe it would look "doctored up" to do that now. I going to send a couple of letters from people who know as as a couple and have seen us together. Don't know what else I can do, any other ideas?

As a Canadian, and as Loungo choked and sputtered I'm hoping Montreal will bring the Cup back here:D

Hi,

Hope this is resolved quickly for you!!! Waiting isn't easy!!

all the best,

You know that I joke but that I do feel for you going through this #######. I think the only advantage right now is the ability to at least resend documents really quickly in the event of them being misplaced or something. I don't know what's going there. I thought they were misplacing my documnents but they weren't. The emails were throwing me. You got some sort of check list though and those are usually the RFEs as I understand them.

I hope they straighten this out for you asap.

I guess Chicago's moving ahead of the Canucks gives you acid reflux huh?

HI,

Thanks, humor helps through this process or we wouldn't handle it.

Well it goes like this: after talking to management,

1. The initial acknowledgment and acceptance of OPTING IN was not noticed. :oops:So hence the RFE's asking for original documents. Being able to give the dates of receipt for all emails helped them sort this out and realize their error.

2. All the emails were in error as they do have all documents and supplemental OPTIN acknowledgments and acceptance were sent to us yesterday. On Monday we should call to get the correct status of our case and HOPEFULLY the case will be complete.

3. He said they are BACK LOGGED and are still working out problems.

So for everyone going through EP my advice is if something doesn't seem right CALL THEM REPEATEDLY. They do keep a log of phone calls and your conversations, which makes it easier to sort the problem this way. They seem to pay more attention if you give the dates of emails and the content. A response for OPTIN doesn't take long, 2-5 days usually. Case complete after receiving your documents usually 10 days maximum with no RFE's.

:guides:Wait till you have OPT-IN approval before sending documents. If you send them prematurely they think you are filing with a paper trail and THAT WILL SLOW THINGS DOWN. Yes they'll catch up but it will create confusion. The reason we have had a problem is due to good old human error and the back log. Hopefully things will speed up.

As far as the Canuck's go.... had trouble watching the rest of the game I felt nauseous<_<.

Keep smiling everybody.... there is an end in sight!

Sorry, was reading yer timeline in yer signature area - wasn't trying to nitpick

The IV bill showed up same time as the AOS bill, in the portal? I've heard of that happening, IF there was a lawyer involved. Maybe, if you have an attorney, you might want to check in with that person, inquire if anything was sent from the atty's office to NVC (and that's a stretch, me even saying that - wild @ss supposition, based on nothing).

No worries didn't think you were nit picking:no:. No lawyer, I think we have gotten the more than buMPy ride. Hopefully enough for everyone. Will bring all up to date hopefully tomorrow with some good news!!!

pleasssssse(F)

grrrr....

I dunno, there's been 2 cases for China, recently, that had blazing speed. The ONLY THING I SEE DIFFERENT, for yer casefile, is that you opted in AFTER you paid all fees.

The other casefiles (that I know about) - followed my steps on the wiki (and most of those steps came from Wyatt's Torch, a Canadien) . OPT IN was first, then pay the AOS fee bill, etc. etc., ad.naseum.

I'm not saying right or wrong here, just noting the difference on YOUR casefile timeline and timeticks.

Nope we OPTED IN, before paying the fees. They said they lost that back in March. So will keep all posted on this... thanks Darnell. I just figured that was a March glitch.I checked everything on Wyatt's Torch as well so like they said in talking to them today they are back logged.
