CanadaThe Canuck EI Thread

I just called Employement Insurance to get some information. Not sure if it was mentioned in this forum, but at least it will be redundant if it was.

She said that when you claim EI when your last work was in Canada and you moved to the US to be with your spouse, they call this "interstate claims". You can get some information on this page (didn't get a chance to read it yet) :) http://www1.servicec...de_canada.shtml.

You have 4 weeks to file a claim for EI after your last day of work. If you are in the US within those 4 weeks, you call this # 1-877-486-1650 and file. She said not to file in Canada if you are going to be there within that time frame, because it will save you hassle from getting your claim transfered to the "Interstate Claim" which can take weeks. If you are only going to the US after 4 weeks, then file in Canada, and then transfer later on.

Hope this helps.

But if I file in Canada right now would I be denied benefits because I left my job. They marked quit reason fo leaving as Relocation for anticipated marriage on the ROE
I probably won't be going State side till another month or more Will it only be a waste of time filing so late after leaving my work or should I just file and see what happens
thanks

Thank you for your help Kath without your input we would not have known what the Postal
Service had done with the NOA1 and would still be waiting
Thank You Good luck to You
Sincerely Allie

I just talked with my Fiance' in Wa, She obtained the file #on the back of the cHeck from her bank
We keyed it in on the USCIS tracking site . It showedd the NOA1 as returned by the U S Postal Service
They confused her address with the people in an another Apt that had moved out It was returned Oct 23
to USCIS
The U S Postal Service may have just cost us more waiting torture by thier stupidity. We're hoping this mistake they made doesn't set our case back to starting again We already have 2 months gone Could this happen would USCIS do that for something that we had no control over As far as we were concerned everything was going along .
I want to thank the two repliers to my inquiry kath and Rob and Mybackpages
Without your info to us about the check and the number being on it We would still be sitting waiting thinking our process was in progress Thank you both so much

Sincerely Allie





You receiving or not receiving the NOA1 in the mail wont slow you down at all. I'm pretty sure :yes:



Thanks for all the info Mybackpages it has helped very much We now know what has happened to the NOA1

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA 1

hi there

give this number a call 1-800-375-5283 ..

also has your fiance change address?
ask your fiance to get a copy of the cashed cheque .. there is usually a receipt number on the back of the cheque..this might be able to be put in the status page at USCIS website to see how your case is going...it will be a LIN XXXXXXXXXX (10 numbers)

as for living in the states while the process is pending i dont know about that...im not sure on the length of stay a canadian can stay in the states without overstaying the length of time are allowed to stay here...hopefully a canadian can answer you that one..there is a candian thread reading the post might help too

good luck
kath


Thanks for the number and the info . She has the same address I'll tell her about the number on the cheque.
As a Canadian I can visit for up to 6 months I'm just wondering if I can do that while waiting for this to be all finalized I am going to see her again on Dec 26
This process and waiting is torture on both of us

WOW that is an usually long time for the check to clear, but now that it has, the NOA1 should be coming. It will come from California because both NSC and Texas SC send all K1s to CSC. The case number will be on the bac of the check but it should be a WAC#######. With this number you can set up an online portfolio on the USCIS website and keep tabs on the status.



Thank you for your reply and the information I'll tell her it should be coming soon . I'll also get her to get a copy of the check and get that number on the back Thanks for your help I feel a bit better now

Hi, I am trying to apply for my fiance to come to the US and I had a quick question. When sending in your pictures for the I-129F do you write the description of the picture on the back of the photo? Also would you recommend writing it or typing it and pasting it on the back of the pictures. I would appreciate your reply.

Thanks
Kabilan


Oh no we didn't send any pics of us being together with our I-129F Application
We followed the info for a K-1 on the USCIS site
They never mentioned they required pics of us together with the application. Only the passport type ones of each of us
We only wish we'd discovered this site back then There's so much info and help on here that USCIS doesn't give on thier site

Will us not sending pics of us together hurt our application I sure hope not.

Have a good day everybody Good Luck to all

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat Next :(

If your check has already been cashed starting a new petition would be loss of money.

I've never heard of a similar case and I trully don't know how to help you. You could try contacting your congressman to see if he can make a formal inquiry with USCIS and have things moving.



Thank You We are at a loss for where to turn as I said this is so disheartening USCIS is of no help what so ever It seeems they couldn't care less They are playing games with our life and only adding to this tortuous process
Thier attitude is "Oh well we'll see how things go and if nothing moves tough luck "

We don't understand why when Lorry calls explaining the situation all over again to them. Why they couldn't just inform someone in that mail room where our Document is sitting with no action on going until it's re sent. To what has happened with the Post Office error and get our process going again
It's like we have hit a dead end with them We both are just sickened over this and thier lack of help in getting everything back on track

We have considered the Congressman route As I stated we do have an Appt. on Dec 28 with the USCIS Office in Spokane during my Xmas visit
Hopefully we'll find a compassionate caring person to speak with there

Thanks so much for your input on this sickening matter
I sure hope nobody else ever has to go through this with them

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat Next :(

Wait, let me see if I understand your case. You had a NOA1 sent to you but some postal service error had it turned back. You called and inquired and it was resent but never got there? And they say your processing has stopped, and is now cancelled? When you made those calls, how did they find information on your case? How did you know when your NOA1 was coming? Do you have a case number assigned to you?

If you do have a case number I don't see why the lack of a NOA1 would stop your processing or cancel your petition. More info is needed in order to understand your case.



Thanks for the reply
To help you understand a bit more. We didn't know the NOA1 was sent unil finding out on here from Kath that there was number on the back of the cheque to inquire about your case
We put the number in on the USCIS site and it said "undeliverable Document Filed "
On Oct 23 your document was returned to this office undelivered to call thier number to update the address
As far as they were concerned the address didn't exist When what really happened is the Post Man didn't leave it in Lorry's mailbox he thought it was #6 that had moved not #5

Why he did that is beyond both of us. Usually one has to go to the Post Office and inform them they have moved and fill out a change of address form it takes awhile
Lorry had work done at the dentist They called her telling her dental statement had been returned also
She called USCIS on Nove 27, we sat all that time not knowing the # to follow your case was on the cheque
If not for the info from Kath and Mybackpages on here we would still be sitting wondering and waiting
Yes we still have that same case number
She was told yesterday when the Document was returned it had to be re-sent to start things going again
That was suppose to be done on Nov 27 when Lorry called explaining what the Postal Service had done and now caused

She was told if she was given a reference # that day the info had been entered to re-send and could take 45 days from that date Jan 4 is 45 days
If nothing then they told her call again they'll re-enter and red flag it and could be another 45 days to get it going again
If after 170 days and no activity takes place our Petition K-1 would be cancelled
Everything we have been waiting on gone and no refund which sounds so silly to tell someone Who gives a ####### about a refund we want our K-1 to be finalized That's all we're asking from them
Is there anywhere else we can turn to in order to get our K-1 back on track. The process is tough enough this happening is all so disheartening it's a sick feeling 3 month gone by and still thye haven't moved from square 1 and we have to wait till thye do so.
Thanks any advice would be appreciated

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat Next :(
Hello all
Just a brief history so you won't have to read the time line to see our story

Sept 19 K1 application sent
Oct 5 NOA1 sent
Oct 23 returned by Postal Service they thought it was Lorry that moved instead of the people in # 5 didn't leave it in her mailbox took it back to Post Office
Nov 27 Lorry calls and is told the case is still in progress and NOA1 will be resent to her
Dec 12 Nothing yet so she calls again told by rude Supervisor to wait 45 days and if nothing arrives then call back Don't be wasting thier time She asks can you tell me if the case is still being processed He assures her yes everything is still going even though the Document was returned by theb Postal Service

Dec 19 decides to call It's almost a month since they said it was resent. She's told that the Document is being held in the mail room and can't be released until they recieve notification to do so
She tells the Lady on Nov 27 she was given a reference # for the Document to be re-entered and resent
The Lady tells her if she was given a reference # then 45 days from the 27 of Nov would be Jan 4
Lorry asks again while this waiting is taking place is our case still ongoing ? She's told no that has stopped when the Document was returned
She explains that on Dec 12 someone there told her it didn't matter the case was still being processed and is told then that she should not have been told that

The Lady told her on Jan 4 if you haven't gotten the Document then call again and they"ll re-enter it and red flag it too let them know in California it needs immediate attention
Then wait another 45 days to see whether it comes "Then she says If after 170 days and nothing is sent your case is closed and cancelled"
This is so tough we have 3 months in now and didn't get anywhere and still don't know what if anything is going to progress with the application USCIS inquiry phone are of no help very inconsiderate people They don't give a damn about what they're puttting people through

We have an appointment set up with USCIS in Spokane Wa on Dec 28 to see what the heck is going on and to see if someone there can get them in Calf. to get processing our case . I'll be there for the Christmas Holidays and will be going with Lorry to see them if they'll let me sit in with her.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can get this moving again USCIS doesn't seem to care whether it gets going or sits in that stupid mailroom
It wasn't our fault the Postal guy screwed up big time and has cost us a lot of suffering and extra heartache for his mistake
Any advice would be appreciated

This has been an emotional roller coaster to save time please read my prevoius posting titled What Next :( and you'll know just what I mean

After all that has happened in the past couple months and how bad yesterday was with being told nothing was proceeding on our case because of the Post Office error

Lorry goes to the mail box today and there's a letter from USCIS in California She immediatly thinks it's the NOA1 that was suppose to be re-sent .Upon opening and reading it states

On Dec 14 your petitionn I -129 F was approved and has been sent to the NVC in New Hampshire
which will forward the approved petition the U.S Consulate
Any further inquiries on this case # should be directed to the National Visa Centre at ( phone number )

She didn't receive any email messages just the letter in snail mail

Are we correct in presuming this is the much wanted NOA2 If so Christmas just became a lot happier :)
If it is we could care less how mixed up USCIS was on our case with different versions

Are we takling about I-134, or I-864?

I-134 is the form used for K-1 and K-3 visa interview at the consulate, and has a place to notarize it.

I-864 is the form used for Adjustment of status for getting greencard in the United States, and is not notarized, and is not used at the visa interview at the consulate.



HI Thanks for your reply I'm sorry I put I-324 it's the I-134 that you refer to

On the one we have it just has a place that says Officer signature It hasn't anaywhere showing the name
Notary Signature and the Lady at the bank said that's why she couldn't signature it where it states Officer
and gave the signed verification papers from her office. Explaining what they were being Notarized and
officially being stamped for
We're wondering will those papers she gave do for the interview. I'll going to Montreal from

Hi All Happy New Year

A question we could use an answer to.

Lorry has filled out the I-324 Document of support . She has everything required for it
But when she went to get the Public Notary at her bank to sign it, was told she couldn't sign
on the 324 form because no where does it state to be signed by a Notary it says Officer
where the signature and stamp would go
The Notary filled out 3 of her Bank financial forms with her name signed and stamped and
along with Lorry's name
Also explained they were being issued for the I-324 and wrote on the 324 forms for them to see
attached forms of Public Notary verification

Will this be acceptable for a signing by a Public Notary or does it strictly have to be signed on
the I-324 form itself
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm here in WA with Lorry now and will be
leaving Jan 3 and hope to have everything I'll needing for my interview time with me when go

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIncome Tax return

They have instructions here under Guides or FAQ's and the I-134 has an instruction sheet.. that talks about this...

And yes you need Tax Forms if your Self-Employed... You need to prove income.. how will you do it if your self-employed? and don't have wage Stubbs ? and even with wage stubbs most consulates want IRS transcripts or W4's
If you have neither because you worked under the table...or self-employed and running the biz under the table.. you will need a Co-sponser... and need to explain your unemployment because you can't really claim your working if your running it illegally...I'm not saying you did..or our..I'm just trying to cover some bases..
Now if you submitted the I-129F before you thought this out...and you showed self-employment but can't prove it because you didn't file taxes for the Company...Well...I think I would use a Co-Sponser still..

Good Luck...

You will need a copy of the last 3 years tax returns (2003,2004,2005) You can get copies from the IRS. Good Luck on your interview!


All Consulates are different...some want one year some want more... Our Consulate wants only last years..

Yes it matters...if they want last years..or more...you need to have them...if you don't have them..you can get a transcript of them from IRS I don't have the link..but search here..or maybe go to IRS's web site... the transcript is free



Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me if you were self employed at the time of your interview
As I just read something about needing the tax return if self employed
This tax thing is very confusing as they do't explain very clearly just what they want on the

Hi Chris thanks for your input on the previous question. No Lorry's not self employed she works for a company here in WA
What we were wanting to know was it only if a person is self employed do they need the tax returns from last yr. as we read that somewhere When they required yours were you a self employee
If the every day employee needs to show it then we'll have to get it from IRS

You can say that again. I'm not real sure of the next steps. I just hope it's not too long. I'd love to be going home by the end of March. If anyone knows exactly what gets done next let us know. Should I look into booking the appointment for the medical and getting the police check done? And if there are any others who have come from Nova Scotia who can give me a clue ( sorry not sure whether to just go to the local office or not) as to who I see about the police check that would be wonderful too!! What a wonderful day!!!! Can't stop smiling and hugging our son!!! Caleb will be thrill to be back with daddy. :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2
Good Morning everyone,
I checked me email today and guess what I found??? We got our NOA2 woooooooohoooooooooo. So everyone who has been looking for them from CSC looks like someone there is awake finally. I am so excited. The best part was my sweety had just called as I was opening the email so we found out the same time. Wooooooohoooooooooooo. Now lets hope that Montreal is moving quicker too. :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical question
Hey guys,
Just a quick question. Does anyone know if children 2 years old need a medical done. Our 2 year old son has been seeing a pediatrition in the US and has had all but three of his immunizations also done in the US. The first three at age 2, 4 and 6 months we had done here in Canada. But since then we have scheduled all his check-ups and immunizations while I was visiting my fiance in the US. So I was wondering if he'd still need a medical done since he has an American doctor and an American immunization record.
We just got our NOA2 a couple days ago but thought I should probably start thinking about medicals and police checks. Should I wait for the embassy in Montreal to send packet three and call or email them and ask. Or has someone else out there on the VJ site have experience with this? Any advise would be great. Thanks Freda

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDecree Absolute for UK
Hey there,
Not sure if my response will be of any help. I am a Canadian citizen and my USC fiance also had a Decree Absolute. His didn't have any missplellings or wrong dates but it was over 20 years old and in really bad condition very faded and hard to read. We sent a photo copy of it with the I-129F and I was also worried about getting an RFE over it. We didn't get any RFE's and we are now waiting on our packet 4 from Montreal. I am having him send the original to me to take with me to Montreal to the interview just incase but so far no one seems to have had a problem with it. Hope it helps.
