Yeah I was looking up stuff about that yesterday and from what I understand we do need to do it..at least for Montreal we do.  That is the only form I haven't done yet, since you can't really do it until you're going to actually send packet 3 since it is an online form.  (& need to scan a passport picture for it..)


Also I believe the court records are only if applicable.  I put 'n/a' beside it.

You can get packet 3 online.  At least for Montreal you can.  I already have most of it ready because I printed the list off online.

Also, another bit of information that I have observed for anyone who may be checking their case number multiple times a day smile.png

 

The approval notices are sent out at the end of the business day in Pacific Time (or somewhere around there). So best to check at the end of the day for updates, or I guess the morning if you haven't checked the night before. For me it's always morning since I am on GMT. 

This is true!  I had checked my status in the day time on August 20th and it was in initial review, and just for kicks checked it before I went to bed that night, and it was approved!

Though the US doesn't technically recognize 'dual citizens' you can still keep your Canadian citizenship.  They don't force you to renounce it.  But basically if you become an American citizen they want that to come first (from what I understand).  I have no plans at the moment to go for citizenship whenever that time may come, the only way I would consider it is if I knew we were staying there permanently and had no plans to come back to Canada to live.  That is far off in the future though!

all honesty, my timeline guesstimation said end of September/early October.

 

So, not always right.  It'll happen!

Same here, mine said early October.  Not even close!

Hi All,

 

While waiting our approval, I have a question that maybe you guys would know about it. If you check on the USCIS website : http://dashboard.usc...=22&charttype=2 , it shows that other offices than Vermont, California & Texas are also processing i-129f. How does this mean ? I thought i-129f petitions are only proceed/directed to two offices with additional Texas office recently ? 

 

Thanks before.

 

I-129f's are only processed at Vermont & California (other than the transfer to Texas).

The last week has been like...super nice days..all sunny and perfect..then all of a sudden it will thunder and lightning and pour rain for like a half hour, then stop and be sunny again.  We have the weirdest weather.

Have been seeing some March filers with VSC getting approvals this month.. Thats only 3 months! I'm getting excited!! Hopefully its not too long of a wait for us!

I hope things keep moving as fast as they have been!  I really don't want to be one of the ones waiting for months and months and months!  I would diieee.

 

(I got him to check the noa1 and it says Canada for mine.. weird it says unknown for you guys, but I am sure it is no problem!)

 

Speaking of Hawaii do any of you have any sort of honeymoon planned?  Or waiting till later on when you can travel somewhere else?  Depending on when the wedding happens and his school schedule, we are thinking of just going to California for a few days, I have never been there, and I'd like to go somewhere with a beach! Oh and Disneyland would be fun!

Thanks pro star.

Does anyone know if the consulate in Halifax can do the interview and give me the visa? I put Halifax on the I-129F but I've been looking online and it seems like they only do it in Montreal and Vancouver. If that's the case do I need to call Vermont and tell them?

Ohh I wish it was that easy... you will have to go to Montreal for the medical annndd the interview.  Vermont will know that and they will automatically change it to Montreal.  smile.png

If people keep getting approved as quick as they have been then maybe we will!  I am trying not to get my hopes up..because anything could happen.  But I can't help but hope we will be one of the lucky ones with the quick approval!  All we can do is wait and see..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 FILIERS

Yeah mine have always been at Halifax international airport, they do the pre clearance customs thing too.  Which I love, then you don't have to worry about it, because it's all done with!  I've never had a bad experience.

 Though when I was 17 I went to Florida with my friend for spring break, and we had no idea you had to be 18 to fly without written parent consent, so the customs lady told us we had to have written notice..and we were like ..oh we didn't know..so she called our parents and was like 'they could be kidnapped and some man could steal them and make them into prostitutes!'..I think she was really bored, after all that she was all smiley and like..'have a nice trip!!'.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 FILIERS

I actually found it the least pleasant going back INTO Canada than going to the States last month, the customs man I got going into the States was really nice (slightly flirty?), and when I was coming back I was glad I got this young, nice looking fellow, & I thought..oh he's young, I shall work my charm.  I don't think he so much as cracked a smile the whole time haha.  So..it all depends I guess!  Let's all hope we (or our fiances) get nice people when we or they enter the States on the K1 visa!

Yeah I suppose it depends on who you get.  But I would think it would be reasonable to ask to be able to take the dog away before they came near the car.  I'm sure it would all go fine!  I stress about things way too easily! I have only ever driven through to Maine once years ago, & to NY but that was on a bus, so I don't have a whole lot of experience on the whole land border thing!

Yes good point about the heartworm! We don't do anything for that here, I do keep him up to date on his yearly vaccines & his rabies shot, but I never thought about the heartworm.  I will definitely keep that in mind when the time comes!  I hope we don't have any issues..my parents are worried they will want to see him at the border or something, he is a nice dog but he is a German Shepherd & quite territorial, so he doesn't do well when strangers come up to the car announced (but is fine away from the car!), but we will worry about all that whenever the time comes. 


kc247FemaleCanada2013-06-13 14:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 FILIERS

We can apply for EI??  That is good news!!  I never knew that!

Yeah when I went in May, I said I was visiting my brother (he goes to school in Utah), & I wasn't lying..I WAS going to be visiting him at some point!  It just sounded better than 'I'm visiting my boyfriend', and I was lucky enough to get a really nice customs man & had no troubles.  I just know I will get super stressed out because I can't just say that next time haha.  He is coming to visit me in August, I am thinking of going in October but I'm not sure yet..it's expensive to fly there & with having to go to Montreal not too long (hopefully!) after that..we will see!
