Questions: what happen to the beneficiary? will she no longer be able to enter US ever again if we decide to cancel the K1 process? and can we apply in the future if we decide to move forward with K1 visa again? If we decide to move forward with process. How much time does she have to enter US once she get K1 Visa approved? is there a time period that she must enter US once we get visa? Thank you so much. You would "withdraw the petition" by writing the service center where it's being processed. Nothing will happen to the Beneficiary. K visa holders have six months to enter the US from visa issue date.	dyoon7979	Male	Canada	2009-02-23 15:17:00

India	PCC- Anand/ Ahmedabad	Pru, when did your wife change her name on her passport? You still need a local PCC but do not need a passport PCC since it has not been more than 6 months of your passport from the date of issue... When was the your spouse passport issued? For more clarificaltion call NVC customer care and they will be able to shed some light on this.. Specifically ask for Gujarat state only... Bani Sure its not the other way around? Thought if the passport has been renewed before 6 months of your visa approval(Interview) then you only need the passport pcc and not the local pcc. http://mumbai.uscons...rtificates.html My wife took our barcode sheet to the Anand police station and was able to get her PCC. It wasnt that easy though, they still argued with her about the checklist. It wasnt until she called some friend who is a visa agent who then talked to the police officer to convince him to issue the PCC. She did get it after paying some money. The Ahmedabad PCC was easy to get and just had to show the bar code cover letter. Edited by TheJesal, 23 August 2010 - 07:41 PM.	TheJesal	Male	India	2010-08-23 19:40:00

Asia: South	Any nice mild climate honeymoon spots in India?	Been only away from the wife for 3 weeks and already itching to go back to see her. Thinking of finding a place we can go where it wont be over 100 degrees in May. Any ideas? We did Mount Abu already when i was there last. Any beaches that have a mild climate in May?

Asia: South	visas denied to india	Is this rule to only those applying for new visas? What if you still have a 10 year visa that was issue from 2 years ago? Would they still deny access into india? My parents have been concerned about this as they dont have their indian passports anymore. They been in the U.S for 40 years, legally that is. Edited by TheJesal, 02 July 2010 - 01:01 AM.

Canada	I want to go back	In a perfect world,i would go back to Canada,and have my husband with me.BUT(and this is a huge but) he has 3 kids from a previous marriage,has lived in the same city all his life,and is greek.Need i say more? (meaning he has a shitload of family here and they are all very close)...basically,the only reason i'd ever be living back in Canada is if my husband and I don't work out(gassssp) -no,i'm not a pessimist,but hey you nevvvver know And also,if the worst were to ever happen (divorce) i'd like to think that by that time,i'd be rooted here and while i will NEVER consider myself an American,and will always feel deep ties to Canada, once a life is routinely established,especially in terms of a career,friends,etc..it would be just as hard to leave here as it was to leave Canada. Thing is..in terms if culture and lifestyle,things aren't so different here.So in that regard,it's not too difficult to adjust.But whenever i fly back home..i swear,as soon as i step out of the airport..there is a different feeling in the air.Maybe it's just me and i'm nuts,lol,but it's that feeling of home,and that sense of familiarity...even if I have landed in a Canadian city i'm not from.Basically,i don't feel as though i belong here.Perhaps it is because right now, i don't have any freedom in terms of working,school,or really any normal freedom i would have in Canada such as establishing credit-which not being able to do that here right now causes so many limitations. But in the grand scheme of things,none of these things even remotely compare in level of importance to what i feel for my husband,and the happiness that our relationship alone brings me. I know he would never leave where we are,so i have to accept that.Krispy Kreme is pretty damn good,though nothing beats a snack pack of timbits..but it would take a pretty drastic set of circumstances to get me to go back to wonderful Canada.	jw07	Female	Canada	2007-08-07 02:55:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Stressed,worried	Just wanted to give a little update to how this situation has played out. I made a copy of my entire I-751 app and brought it to Canada with me. My package has been received in Cali. I called the border patrol in Winnipeg which is where i will be hitting US customs before arriving home in Chicago. I was told quite simply that with my expired greencard, and a copy of my application to remove conditions, "not to worry about it" and that i'll be just fine getting through. I was extremely stressed out assuming i'd need my NOA letter to get back in. I did explain my circumstances to the woman on the phone at border patrol and i'm not sure if the fact my brother just died had anything to do with her being so understanding, or wether they can be this leniant at any time. I will be bringing a copy of my brothers death certificate just in case as well as my airline ticket from my flight in showing that i wasn't here long. However, the woman on the phone also said that if my application has been sent in and received that they can look that up in their database and confirm it anyway. Thank you to everyone who replied with advice.	jw07	Female	Canada	2009-12-18 12:13:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Stressed,worried	Hello everyone, i'm in a bit of a bind and will be contacting USCIS on Monday for direct answers (hoepfully) but until then am curious if anyone can provide me with any information that will either alleviate my worries or prepare me for the worst... I haven't logged on here in quite some time so i'm not sure if my timeline is up to date. For a quick rundown i am a Canadian citizen with PR status through marriage to an American. My husband and i have been married 2 1/2 years and i received my conditional green card in December of 07. I for whatever reason had it in my head that my greencard expired on December 27th. I just realized today that it expires on the 18th. I realize that not only should i have read the reminder letter more closely but should have actually LOOKED at the green card to verify. Anyway, i know i've had a 90 day window to send in my application to remove conditions, but i have left it to the last minute due to a variety of things: money issues, busy with a new job, all excuses and i know i should have done this a while ago. But, i figured it wouldn't matter if i sent it in the beginning of the 90 day period, or near the end of it. I was planning on mailing my application next week with the thought that it had to be in by the 27th which is cutting it close, but on time nonetheless. However, my brother passed away unexpectedly 4 days ago. I am leaving tomorrow to fly back to Canada to be with my family there. My return flight is on December 21, so my green card will be expired. I have assembled my application with necessary documents and my husband will be overnighting it on monday. I have made a duplicate copy of the entire application to carry with me when i attempt to re-enter on the 21st. What sort of problems should i expect to arise from this? Will explaining my situation help at all? I realize that even if USCIS receives my application as soon as this coming tuesday, that it will not be enough time for me to receive any sort of confirmation that my application is in process or pending. I am hoping to find some sort of resolution when i contact USCIS on Monday. I'd hate to have to turn around and leave Canada and my family early with only a few days to visit, considering the circumstances. Any advice is much appreciated...	jw07	Female	Canada	2009-12-12 23:38:00
