US Citizenship General DiscussionVSC Super Fast
Congrats! Let me guess. Boston, which I beleive takes 8 months to process an N400 has magicaly processed everything in a couple of months. No doubt whats happening is petitions are being spread out and not very evenly. That would mean anybody could be approved at any time.

individual bank account doesn't make sense to me, but i heard from a lawyer that the are opening a lot of new local offices and the people there don't have that experience.


It sure doesn't. We don't have any individual accounts. What do you do in that case? Open them? Lol.. sounds to me like the oficer suspects the relationship is bogus.

Yep, and only 400.00 too. Id wait a while and then contact the passport office and ask when they were planning to send it back. Ask em why it wasn't sent back with the passport like other peoples.

Got my passport yesterday - amazingly fast - 5 working days, still haven't recieved the citizenship certification. Passport is the new type with security chip and good for 10 years - better than the Canadian Passport which was issued only for 5 years.


Since you are mentioning new feature from the passport, I'm wondering whether I should order passport cover to block RFID random reading from my new passport chip or not.
Anybody ordered one already ?


Not me, didn't know they were available. My thoughts were if you lost your passport or it was stolen at the airport or something they could locate it. But I guess someone could steal your name and address etc or whatever else is on that tag. Anybody know whats on the tag?

CanadaSome questions regarding packet 3
I know one thing, when you get the sticker in the passport its like a huge weight being lifted off of your shoulders. There are so many things and details that just whaft awy. You can throw out piles of file folders. Its a great feeling.


Well luckily my husband actually doesn't WANT to move until June, so at least there's that. It's just that I want to leave NOW. Mostly I just want all of this to be over with, as I know you can all understand. But oh well, at least we're almost done with the NVC.

CanadaCanadian credit report online
Just fill it out using your last known Canadian address. You will get the report online anyhow. If you have changed your address with Canadian credit card companies to your US address you might be screwed though. In any case, Equifax wont charge you for the tranaction untill it identifies you so there is no risk. If it can not identify you it gives you instructions on how to order it over the phone.

Does anyone know a website where my husband can check his Canadian credit report online? We looked at Equifax.ca, but when you get the the screen to put your current address it only has a drop down box for provinces, not for states.

Thanks. :)

CanadaI-129F 3rd Page
If they send it back, they will send it back with the check. But, I doubt they will, if you had a 170.00 check stapled to the fromt of a paper towel they would cash the check and RFE the paper towel.


Howdy all,

Several days ago on the K-1 Visa Forum someone posted a question concerning the 3rd page of the I-129F Petition. The question was "is the 3rd page required if the petetion was not filled by another party?"(i.e. attorney or other) One individual stated they had phoned USCIS and the response was "yes" this page is required and an N/A should be in the blank if it was not filled by another. Another responded with "it is part of the official form and should be sent".....Then the dread set in, for I made the assumption that since we did the work ourselves the third page was not required, so the Petition went off along with the $170 processing fee without the 3rd page of the Petition....

Now my question...Will we get an RFE for the 3rd page, or will the knuckleheads at USCIS send the whole packet back because it is incomplete...If they do send the whole packet back will I have to pay an additional $170 to start the whole process again?

I'm bummed about my assumption and possible muck-up it may have created....

Any thoughts or reassurance would be appreciated

Thanks,

David

USCIS Service CentersResponse from Senator

I don't know if they are near their 5 month goal or not, but they are doing better than CSC.

Look here, and then look here. Notice any difference?

But as a June filer (either service center) I'd be inquiring about that if I were you.


I have done the email inquiry, it says you will get a reply in 10 days or less, it took over a month for the reply, only to read...Your application or petition is currently within the posted processing times. An inquiry may not be created at this time. For information about processing dates, please view the recent processing times for applications and petitions.

ChinaCGI Stanley Website Glitch With Rescheduling Scheduling Appointment

Thanks Darnell,

 

The old appointment date is not showing as it was cancelled. No buttons exist on the website that say "reschedule" so we assume you hit the schedule interview as scheduling and rescheduling are both "scheduling" activities--thinking like a computer engineers style of web design and wording.

 

I will call the hotline on Monday and try to manual schedule. 

 

We only scheduled / cancelled twice. We hear you can do this three times.

Also the second cancellation was done by the govt. when they nixed the medical screening..but is there a chance, because we never double checked the date cancellation that we were penalized.  they told fiancee that the appointment she was to show for the next day gets automatically removed from the system.

 

Oy Vay.
