CanadaI'm starting to panick!
I'm sure it'll get to him in time before Friday. I had my interview on a Wednesday and I had to pick up my visa from the post office on Tuesday. Their website is never accurate. It showed that they "tried" to deliver it on the Monday, but no one was home. That was #######, cause I stayed home all day.

CanadaWhat addy to put on the blue customs form at YYZ
Hey y'all,

Of course, I found another thing to worry about here. Its nothing major. I'll be leaving out of here Friday morning, headed for the airport with my son. Now, the blue customs form that you fill out(the one that states you have to declare whatever your bringing into the USA), I know it asks for your address in Canada as well as the address you'll be staying at in the USA. Will I have to put my address in Canada, or just leave it blank? More than likely, I'll grab 2 of those forms, fill 1 out and have the other 1 just in case lol. Also, I need 2 of the I-94's right? One for me and 1 for my son?

CanadaPOE Toronto Airport
Thanks Kathryn. More than likely we'll be taking the back roads. I know traffic is going to start up around 2 or 3 and its going to be crazy at the airport in Atlanta seeing its a Friday afternoon. I had the worst time trying to sleep last night. I think I finally passed out around 2am and back up again at 5 lol. Anyways, I'll post my POE review sometime during the weekend or on Monday.

Well doesnt that just suck. Sorry you missed your flight. Hell, maybe I'll see you there tomorrow. My flight leaves for Atlanta at 1:15pm, but I'll be there with my son by 9am lol. With being stuck in secondary 1 time for over 2 hours, I'm giving myself enough time for the crazies ahead of me lol. Anyways, in case your in Terminal 1, look out for me with my son. I'll be toting around 4 carry-ons and probably going crazy cause I'll have hours to do nothing lol.

Ok, heres a picture from our hotel on Tybee Island. This was the view we had. I just tried to upload a pic from our ceremony, but I guess its too big. I'll try again though.

Oh, how lovely. What hotel is that?



It was the Ocean Plaza Beach Resort. Its supposed to be the biggest hotel on the island and it can be costly. We got the off-season prices, so I can just imagine how expensive it'll be in the warmer months.

Thanks again everyone. I'm still trying to let it soak in that we're actually married now lol.

CanadaWedding/Thanksgiving/Honeymoon/Vacation
Well we didn't get married Tuesday like I'd thought. We went to the court house Tuesday at 10:30am to get the license. We were scheduled at 3:30pm for the ceremony. Well we got a call at the house at like 10:45 fromt he court house saying we needed to be there before noon to have the ceremony cause the jodge was leaving early for the day. We were not prepared for this. We didnt bring the rings, cameras, nothing. We were pretty mad. We were not going to get married in Jeans and t-shirts. We eneded up going to a different county for the ceremony. We didn't even have to pay for it lol. Our son was the ring barrer. He enjoyed that. We didn't really get a honeymoon, but we did get a hotel for the night. We had a great Thanksgiving. I have been here for every holiday but Thanksgiving, so I was excited.

Friday we went to Savannah for a honeymoon/vacation with our son. We stayed on Tybee Island for the 1st night and got a hotel right at the ocean. It was a beautiful scene. It was kinda cold though. In the 50's a really windy. Saturday we went into Savannah and drove down River St 3 times. Just a small warning for anyone ever going there. Don't ever drive your vehicle on River St. Your vehicle will hate you for it lol. We drove in the Celica and it sucked lol. We plan on going back to Savannah in May or June when its warmer.

Overall we had a great week, minus the few bumps in the road along the way lol.

CanadaTIMELINE FROM MONTREAL TO PACKET3 AT YOUR DOOR
It depends. Looks like your filing for a K-1. When I filed for mine, it took forever and you can see from my timeline. After the summer, Montreal started speeding things up. Looking at others timelines you can see how fast others got theirs. So their timelines were pretty much what they were supposed to be. Its usually 4-6 months from the time you send pkt 3 back to them until you get your interview.

This must leave my hands now so I can work.



LOL it just gets better. If it wasn't for all the amazing people here on VJ, I doubt I would have been approved at my interview. You gain so much from everyone here. It helps ease some of the tension that builds up, along with the stress.

CanadaGetting AOS papers together to send
Well I just got off the phone with SS. Gawd they make you wait forever. Anyways, the woman spoke to her supervisor and I can't get a SSN until I have the EAD. I asked about my son, whos on a K-2 cause I want to get him into school for the end of July(they start earlier in the year here) and hell, he can't even get one until her gets an EAD, which she even thinks is dumb, cause hes only 4. She said once I get the EAD I can get both SSN. So now I gotta wait forever for that and who knows if I'll even get it before I have to register him for school.
PfcsBabyFemaleCanada2007-12-12 16:11:00
CanadaGetting AOS papers together to send
Thanks everyone. I really was wondering why others on here got their SSN before sending off the AOS paperwork and why I'm one of the lucky few that couldnt get it lol. It just made me wonder if the woman at the SS office was just dumb lol. I'm going to call SS and demand to speak to someone who knows what their doing and make an appointment. If it wasnt for the fact that the SS office near me, was the only one near me, I'd just go to another office. Hopefully I can get those tax forms asap as well.

CanadaGetting AOS papers together to send
Nope, no copies. I only made 1 copy to give to MTL at the interview because I was planning on giving my husband back his tax info when I moved here. How long does it take to get those copies from the IRS?

CanadaGetting AOS papers together to send
I'm really confused and I know I'll get easier to understand answers here, rather than calling USCIS. I went to go get a SSN yesterday and I was told that I couldn't get it until I had a green card. That makes no sense to me. I haven't filled out any of the AOS papers yet, but I looked at the forms and on the I-485 it asks for my SSN. So was the lady wrong when she told me I couldn't get a SSN yet?

Also, what is this vaccination supplement? I never got a copy of my medical exam when I had it done and the only thing I got from Dr. Seidens office was a "Vaccination Document Medical Worksheet Two". I'm guessing thats not what I need?

Ok, one more thing. I'll have to get my husbands tax papers together as well and when I went to my interview, I gave them the orginals and the copies by mistake and they didn't return anything to me. I didn't realize this until after I got home. So what will we need to do to get copies of the last 3 years?

I'm sure I'll have more questions about these forms before I send them out, I just can't think of anymore to ask right now lol. I'm so frustrated with immigration. I don't understand why I need to send them some of the information that they already have. It makes no sense to me. Anyways, any help would be appreciated.
