This is unbelievable. First we sent in our application 2-18-08. They received it at VSC on 2-19-08. NOA1 given 2-19-08 and turned around to us by 2-23-08. Today I get an email, and I check on the website to be sure, we have approval (NOA2), 3-10-08...19 days after the NOA1. This is unreal, I can't believe how fast this has been.


I filed on the January 23rd, and NOA1 January 25th. I have been TOUCHED twice since, but I am still waiting.

Just a word of advice...I would hold off on buying the tickets until she has visa in hand. You never know what could happen.
Best of luck!



Ummm, I'm not buying her ticket to come to the USA YET. I am buying my ticket to go to Vietnam so I can be there for her when she goes to the interview.

She is pregnant, and we are having our baby in Vietnam in September. She and the baby will trvael to the US in October. Also, we will be filing CRBA after the birth of our baby.

Just received an email from the US Consulate.

My Fiances interview is scheduled for May 30th, 2008..... That will make it 128 days after filing the I-129F

Time to buy tickets for the trip.....

I was chatting with her when I received the email. She flipped out and yelled for her Ma and Ba (mom and dad) who were working downstairs in the restaurant.

The whole family is very happy.

CanadaLand crossing into Canada w/girlfriend

Wow great! You have all been helpful. Aaralyn I see that you had some problems which is exactly what I would want to avoid. I assume if she gets sent back would they let me re-enter Canada?

Also, would CBP give out a visitor visa to her upon entry to the US if we drove through? Or do they not do this?


I have no experience with the visitor visa, so hopefully someone else will know. :)

I can't say 100% that they would let you re-enter, but they let me back without any real issues. I told them I had to be back in the States by a certain date, and they said good luck. I haven't had much experience crossing the borders, but it did seem the Candian side is much more relaxed. ;) :whistle:

CanadaLand crossing into Canada w/girlfriend
You may not have any problems as long as you have strong ties to Canada.

Alf and I flew into Seattle, before the engagement, and drove to BC with his brother... no problems on my entry into Canada. We planned on driving back to KY for a bit, but he was denied entry due to no letter from an employer. He had other ties, but not that. We were completely honest (a good idea in any case, imho) and said we were bf/gf, but not planning on marrying in the near future. Still, without the letter he was considered 'a risk.' We then had to re-enter Canada (I had no way home!) and figure out how I was getting home. We did have to go inside the building on the Canadian side, but it took about 3 minutes.. explained to them what happened, and they let me in.

After getting back to his place and talking a lot, we decided to go ahead with a K-1, and here we are! We had discussed marriage before all this, and we both pretty much knew it would end that way anyway, we just thought we'd have a little more time together before we had to say goodbye and wait it out.

Ack, I babble far too much... my advice would be to have as much evidence as you can bring to show them you're going to return. Good luck :)

sadly I sold everything in my place for way too cheap and took what I could fit in my car..


Awww. I would even suggest it as "the most inexpensive alternative", but there's no way my nerdy boy is leaving his Star Wars stuff behind! (Including the FX light saber replica *shakes head* wink.gif )

CanadaMoving options!
Hey guys. smile.gif

I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but we finally got our NOA2 (yay!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif ), so we're starting to talk a bit more seriously about this whole move thing. We've been talking about it for a long time, of course, but I'm scared to make any concrete plans until we know he's been approved, so we haven't really looked too deeply into our options. Anyway, for those of you that have already made the move, how did you ship everything? He's coming from Vancouver all the way down to Kentucky.

He lives in an apartment with his best friend, and won't really have any furniture to move. He'll be bringing clothes, books, movies, computer/printer/games, his portable a/c-heater (I think), and a television.

It might all fit in his car, but I think he's decided to sell the car and fly down. I'm a worrywart, so I would rather him not drive all that way alone, so Uhaul type things would be out. I've had a quote from UPack sent to me, but I don't know if the trailer or the cube would be the best. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!! smile.gif
AaralynFemaleCanada2007-12-08 23:04:00
CanadaVancouver Sent me the wrong checklist
I think yours and my sweetie's checklists were mixed up! tongue.gif I'm 90% sure he got a K3 checklist in his K1 packet from Vancouver. I haven't seen it personally, but I know he mentioned marriage certificate when he was reading it off to me. So I'll ask the same question... should he email them for the K1 list, or just send back the K3 list without whatever doesn't apply to our case?

CanadaWhat the heck did they do to the Heinz Ketchup???
I am SO glad I saw this thread before going to bed! I went to BC for the first time last May/June. I've never ever been a ketchup (ok ok catsup) person, but I fell in love with it in BC. We went to McDonald's on the way to his place that night (which was MUCH different to me as well) and I actually had to look under the bun to see what that yummy new sauce was. blush.gif laughing.gif

I keep trying to convince Alf to mail a few bottles with my next can of Timmy's, but he just laughs. All of my US friends think I'm insane when I say the ketchup was so much better in Canada. biggrin.gif
