      Hey guys,

      Have you received your interview date yet? Remember, we're going neck-to-neck since NOA2 from CSC... we got our e-mail today - interview @ MTL April 20. I have a feeling, we can meet that day! ;)))

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      Omg! Grats! I've been keeping an eye on your profile since I got a CC the day after you. I really hope I get the interview date assigned today too! And keeping my fingers crossed for April 20 so I can actually know someone there!

  3. Just filed US tax returns. Expected refund as MFJ is $2925 :) Now to file my Canadian tax returns at some point XD

      Dumb question but I just filed my I-130 petition. Is there a March Filers for the USCIS portion? Or I just wait until I get my NOA2? When do I get to be a NVC filer?

    3. Saylin

      Saylin

      I'm sure there's a USCIS March filer thread. Just look around in the IR-1/CR-1 forum. And you can follow the March NVC thread to gather knowledge and such, but you really get to be with it once you hit NVC, which should be in about 5 months.

      For Fiance we don't 260 DS until fiance/fiancee is in the state am I right?

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      No, you do it after your case has left NVC. For the fiance visa, you have to send forms to the consulate/embassy, but in your case, it'd be completed online.

  7. Sent in my application yesterday to get my Canadian passport renewed. Hope there's no issues and I get the new one quickly!

      If your green card is in your married name and your passport is in your maiden name, just bring your marriage certificate. Simple as that :) And it's only a 2 year condition on the green card. That's why you apply for ROC two years after POE (90 days within your expiration on your green card).

      I'm curious...you're gonna be an immigration lawyer?? You'd be a great one with the volume of knowledge you have! Thanks for all your help! Best wishes to you at the university.

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      Nope, not gonna be an immigration lawyer. The college here is only a trade school, no law or anything. I'm going to be studying to become a programmer.

  10. If I don't get back to you, or any thread, I apologize now. Going through something at the moment.

      Saylin, I've been away from VJ and just read about your siituation. I also had a husband similar to Ben. It ended after 4 separations, I ended it because I finally "got it." 35 yrs later he is still flirty and hints at hooking up, he is a married man with 2 kids. He also says that letting me go was a huge mistake etc. blah, blah. (I had to reconnect with him last year to get info from him.) Immaturity was his downfall, Ben sounds immature. You are bright, very likeable and beautif...

      Thanks! A lot happened this week: check cashed, NOA received, and biometrics letter received. Once I get my biometrics done though, then all activity will pretty much go to a stand still until they review my package, lol. Good luck on your ROC process once you send it in :)

  13. JUST GOT A NOTICE FROM USCIS: OUR I-130 WAS APPROVED ON JANUARY 25!!!! :D

      Wow, he found a job fast! I haven't really started looking yet as I don't have a SSN. But just think, once he gets his SSN, he'll have a nice chunk of money coming to him ;)

      Congrats! You got it in only 5 business days :)

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      Thanks. Most people count how long it takes from POE, so it took 19 days in total :P

  17. Applied for my SSN at a local office today. The lady told me it should arrive in 10 days. Hoping for sooner though!

      It's unfortunate :( They really need to make their system soundproof. Some people get it, some people don't. Oh well. Is there at least an SSA office in your town?

      There's one about 20 minutes away, so not too bad.

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      That's not bad. There's one here in town, so it was only about a 5 minute drive. Totally worth it though :)

  18. Just scheduled my medical at Medisys for April 6th. Next Wednesday! I'm already freaking out about the blood test (I hate needles). Any tips?

      I'm not sure if it's the same for Mexico, but I know a PCC in Canada checks a nation-wide database, so no need to get one from each city/province. I just looked at NVC and it doesn't even look like PCCs are available for Mexico. http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_4881.html?cid=3622

      Good luck with your medical today! :)

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      Thanks! I'm leaning more towards Visual Communications, so something in web design or video work would be awesome :)

  21. Just read someone went through NVC in 25 days and did electronic processing and the new online forms!! Hoping to go through just as fast, if not faster!

      Thanks Sayling for posting the spreadsheets! Are these new online forms for all countries or only Canada/Mexico?

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      Yes, they're only available for a few countries. See the table at the bottom: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_5165.html

      How did you go about getting this approval? I have been told by some people here that CitiBank and American Express take into account previous membership. I have both and am hoping that it'll help! Any advice on things to do prior to entry that may help would be great!

      Thanks for all your advice and Wiki, even though it's for Canadian's there are some gems in there for Australians!

  23. Heading out to the airport very soon! Flight's in less than 6 hours. Very excited to head back to Canada!! I'll get back to all conversations, threads, comments, etc as soon as I can!!
