Canada	one more question....please	ok, so I got my lovely letter for my appt. Now on the bottom it says Case # and blah blah blah...then it says my name and then "Traveling Applicants"...below that it names myself and my 2 children...so does that mean I have to bring them to the interview??? I have sent an email to the consulate but I figured the information I have received from this website is more than helpful and so quick to reply I better start here. Thanks again for all your help and for your words of advice. Without this site I know I would have been totally ignorant of a lot of information and tips.

Canada	immunization records, what is required?	I just went through the same thing. I had no record of my vaccinations. I live in Saskatchewan and contacted the Public Health office here. I made and appointment and I was able to go in and have my tetanus/diptheria and MMR done. I know my MMR was already done, but I hadn't had a tetanus in the last 10 years. There was only a charge for the MMR and that was $23. I know when I had my blood taken for my medical they also tested for chicken pox (varicella), which I had when I was little and had told the panel DR. that as well. So....I probably paid too much for my blood test. Oh well...its done now. Just to be safe and sure I would get them done again. My panel physician asked me for my immunization records when I went in. This is for a K1. Good luck!	vnoe	Female	Canada	2007-05-08 09:31:00

Canada	Moving over with my K1 this Monday - questions!	I think as long as you are travelling together there should not be a problem. They have to understand sometimes not everything fits into one vehicle...lol. I'm pretty sure I will have the same thing on my moving day....but I'm crossing at a much smaller port and there would be no chance of us getting separated.

Canada	Just curious	I think everyone knows what I do. I'll be returning to my job in Canada once my mat leave is done. Have no desire to work for US CBP. My man is a farmer Ditto - North Dakota farmer. Well for me I was a Canadian Customs Broker (that was laid off) at the border Which port? Which broker? I occasionally had to call and talk to some of the brokers at North Portal. Is this how you met your husband? I worked in North Portal, SK for UPS Supply Chain...previously Fritz Starber....previously Starber....lol. Loved my job. I had been a broker in Calgary for 15 yrs..moved back to NP for a management position...then UPS bought the company and started shutting down the little offices. Needless to say....ours was little. Guess it was just time to get out of the Customs Brokerage field!!!! I honestly met my man on the internet. I was surfing one day and a website popped up for dating, I figured what the heck and signed up. His kids had him signed up, simply because he is not computer friendly at all. We emailed a few times and then decided to go out for supper. The rest is history. He is also a North Dakota farmer....out seeding right at this moment. HMMMM I wonder if we know each other...lol	vnoe	Female	Canada	2007-05-10 08:59:00
Canada	Just curious	Well for me I was a Canadian Customs Broker (that was laid off) at the border. I suppose once everything gets done and over with I could probably apply to be a USA Customs Broker...things are similar, but different. I loved the job which was the main thing. Right now I go to school via the internet for Medical Transcription which can be done from your home anywhere. I'm hoping to find a decent job doing that. My man is a farmer...so the MT field is perfect for me to stay at home and help out on the farm.	vnoe	Female	Canada	2007-05-09 17:03:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	The embassy transferred our case from Non-immigration visa to immigration visa	Hi Mohamed how are u?? If ur clearance its done, u should wait about 90 days from the 2nd interview or a little bit less, they want to delay u, thats why they want more ap but what they mean with this is that since the 2nd interview u started a new ap, so just wait, probably they will send it for December or in a few weeks, in our case they sent Waheed's visa 6 days after the clearance was done. Wishing u the best on this long waiting. QUOTE (Hot Guy @ Nov 11 2009, 05:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi everyone Well yesterday i called the embassy and thank God the woman at the embassy was in a good mood. and she was very nice and friendly to me . I told her it has been almost 8 months since my interview and still nothing .she asked me for my case number .and she says ''Mr Mohamed yes ? i said yeah she says everytime you send us emails we answer your and your fiancee's emails. I told her i know that you guys did but its really not enough at all . Cause it has been almost 8 months and we have heard nothing from you but administrative processing .so whats going on ? whats wrong? she says we just put you under AP and its normal .i said i have seen people got their visa after 4 days and we have been waiting since March and you say its normal!! she says every case is different ..........and if you talk about people who got their visas after 4 days why you don't talk about people who got their visas after more than a year! I asked her if the embassy is going to send our case back to USA for more further review so it will expire and they will cancel it there? she says NOOO we are not going to do that . I asked her how long is going to take ?.....what kinda administrative processing do you really do ? if they do that in USA or in Egypt ? Well in fact i felt like she knows and she wanted to tell me but she says I'm sorry i can not talk about that .cause the consular officers told us to not talk about details.but once the AP is complete we will issue you the visa . My fiancee called DOS to check on our case and well we got 2 stories :- First story is the woman at DOS told my fiancee that the embassy transferred our case from Non-immigration visa to immigration visa .and they did that to make our case go faster .and they are waiting for the clearance from WA-DC . Does that make any sense to anyone of you ? its my first time to hear about that .the embassy transferred a case from Non-immigration visa to immigration visa!!!! Second story is :-my fiancee called DOS again to make sure about what that woman told her . the woman at DOS told her yes the embassy transferred the case.and it does not mean it will be faster .and they are done with the clearance and they just want to do more AP and its up to them now not to WA-DC!!!!! Does that make any sense at all ? why the embassy transferred our case from Non-immigration visa to immigration visa ? BTW I'm a K1 visa Thank you so much everyone . Have a nice blessed day everyone . Mohamed	kitty rahman	Female	Guinea	2009-11-11 17:18:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I134 or I 864 for Cairo on K3 visa	I advice u to call INS cose if u fill out the I-864 now will be better they are going to attach it to the AOS, I have a friend working at INS as an Officer and she advice me this. QUOTE (KHPerfectMatch @ May 26 2009, 10:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My husband's packet 3 for the K-1 Visa asked for an I 134 to be submitted. When we filed for the AOS we were required to submit an I 864. As I understand it there is little difference between a K3 and K1 visa process and also very little difference in the AOS phase as well. Just send what is requested. If they ask for something, send it. If the don't, don't. Why complicate things? And by all means do not use the version of the forms that they send with Packet #3, they are outdated and have old information on them. Go to the USCIS website and download the latest version of the SPECIFIC FORM REQUESTED in Packet #3 from the Embassy in Cairo.	kitty rahman	Female	Guinea	2009-05-26 23:18:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I134 or I 864 for Cairo on K3 visa	If u fill out the the I-864 with the K3 u dont have to fill it out again with the AOS if u use the I-134 u have to do it again with the I-864. QUOTE (B&S @ May 26 2009, 07:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have been reading about this for a long while today. Let me make sure I got this right. When I get the packet 3 from Cairo they will want the I 134? When we get to USA and AOS they will want the I 864? And this is for K3 visa. So since he is coming on a K visa then he is going to have to have another review to become legal. Since the K visa is not permant then we take the I-134?	kitty rahman	Female	Guinea	2009-05-26 09:16:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	K1Visa INTERVIEW QUESTION	I thought for sure the doctor at st lukes in manila made a mistake on my fiancee xrays but i was wrong, they wanted to retake the xrays because they thought they seen something in xray, so they did the 3 day sputum tests and my fiance passed. I thought the doctor would be rescheduling her interview. Thats what my fiance told me he said he would do since she missed it because of the tests and the waiting time to get the results. After the results my fiancee asked him to reschedule it as soon as he could, he then told her that it would be faster if i the petitioner would schedule it instead of him because it would be faster if i did. My NOA2 is valid till july 25, 07, will i be able to call the embassy and reschedule it before the date? and if not can the embasy extend it if they cant get her in for the interview before the valid date?	nate96	Male	0	2007-06-30 02:28:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	k1 visa denied, help pls	hi nate. i was in the same position as your bro. i am currently here in the philippines. we went to the embassy because my fiance had the same letter of denial. i made less then the minimum poverty guidelines and even had my parents co sponser....they did not take it. they dont usually allow CO SPONSORs for any k1 visa....but then again it depends on each person and the circumstances...in my case i am 24 years old, just my luck because at 24 years and above, they will not consider even looking at my co sponser paperwork regardless how many times we mentioned or showed it in their face but if you are under 24....they MAY acknowledge it, they dont have to...ultimately its up to the lucky consular that you are placed with to decide. sad to say but its in their hands. thats what the consular told me....straight from the US embassy of MANILA... anyways...this has been a hectic ride for me and for my fiance....WHAT A NIGHTMARE. nate, all i can tell you is if your bro can go to the philippines for that dispostion of the case on the date stamped on there TELL HIM TO GO. you know what the CO told me? he didnt know i was coming....he interviewed me. i told him everything. my situation here, why i didnt make the income last year on my tax return...i told him. i lived with my parents in hawaii up till june 2009. i was a full time student there. worked only part-time so i only made $12,000. i graduated in june 2009 with my associates degree. i told him i moved to out and moved to washington state (thats where i live now). im independent. i establised residency here, i live by myself, no relative. i have 2 jobs, one part-time and one fulltime. i did not give him the chance to speak ( the CO) i was overwhelmed. (its good to show them how you feel)...the CO couldnt even say anything after i was done talking. i just tried my best to tell him how i felt. how much it hurt when they denied her visa. i told the CO, "through all this, i know we are nothing special, we are just like everyone else. we want to be together....i cant sleep, eat or do anything anymore....after reading the denial letter....im so stressed, crying at work....it has been tough....all we want is to be together and i will do my best to support her the best i can.....if you dont want to approve us now...i want you to marry us! the CO just sat there. he said you know what bryant, i want you to enjoy this "sudden" vacation, get some rest, you look tired, everything will be ok.........i approve this....... wow.....................................up till now i am speechless...................................... have faith.....whats meant to be will find its way...... i know how your bro feels........i am thankful for that CO for reconsidering despite the fact that he could have easily denied us for good.......the CO did not expect me to be there, they thought just my fiance, since the CO was dealing with her from the start...the CO even said that it was good that i was present, he now fully understands our situation and he openly admitted that this is the one of the number one reasons why they deny many many k1 visa....not enough sustained income...and people always assume that they can use a co sponsor but they usually dont. it ultimately depends on the consular dealing with your case. ULTIMATELY depends on the consular BUT: 24 years of age & older petitioner ==== no secondary sponsor, no ifs, buts, why, who, what...etc. 23 years of age and under ------ may considor secondary (more likely if you are in college, not a guarantee (DEPENDS ON THE CO HANDELING YOUR CASE) hoping for the best for you and your family, keep your head up.....a visa may fall .....lol just wanna make you guys laugh for a few seconds....in this time of seriousness.....let me know if you have any questions....give me a heads up....sorry if wrong english grammer..... Thanks for the reply, i was wondering about that disposition of his case. So he can actually go over there and speak with a CO about his case? thanks for your time	nate96	Male	0	2010-06-25 22:33:00
