K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOnline status
QUOTE (crs @ Aug 7 2008, 08:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Whenever you get your check cashed, check the back of it. There you should find a number starting with EAC08 or WAS08.
(Eac is for Vermont, Was is for California)

That is your receipt number! It is also the same number you will find when you receive the NOA1 hard copy.
When you have that receipt number, go on http://egov.uscis.go.../jsps/index.jsp
and register yourself as a customer. When you log in you can register your application to your portfolio and register to receive email updates. Remember that you will only receive email updates when you register, when you are approved or when you receive RFEs.
Otherwise, whenever you log in you will see a "last updated" date. That is the day your application received the last "touch".



I didn't realize I got my check back? do they automatically do that or do I have to request it. sorry for all the questions just want to be prepared

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOnline status
I am seeing on numerous posts that people are saying received NO1 or N02 online hardcopy followed later. How do you get set up online to review your status, there is nothing on the i29f form that lets you put your email address in. Just wondering as it would be nice to track it once we get started.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 vs Cr1
QUOTE (vsmtghdy @ Oct 3 2008, 09:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
CR/IR is better than K3 since you don't need to adjust your status when you arrive here in the US.



Im from Canada and about an hour plane ride away from Boston. As a canadian you are allowed to enter the USA without a visa approval for a max of 6months they automically give you a B2 when you pre-clear thru customs in canada. If we marry in the USA and apply for the CR1 do I have to return to canada and file or can I stay there and just keep going home every 6 months.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 vs Cr1
We are just trying to figure out what visa to apply for originally it was gonna be the K1. I have looked thru the K3 guides and info and the CR1 info just wondering which one is best. I am alittle confused as it says in the K3 forum you can apply for a CR1 at the same time. I just want to make sure I understand my options here. If I apply for the CR1 i don't have to apply for the K3 aswell do I.

CanadaCanadian medical vision test

you need to read the reviews and uscis guidelines on what the medical is..i'ts not a real medical. they just want to make sure you dont have any communicable diseses etc.

hate to say this to ya but alot of your questions are easily answered by looking at most of the posts on the forums btw. some ppl get easily offended at repeating the same stuff lol



it's a lot faster to just ask the question. There's a lot of reviews to read and sometimes the review postings are similar but not direct.
How many times has it been asked about visiting, bringing a vehicle, EI questions and many
more. It's common to ask the same question, this is all a new experience for people.
IWhen I first started here I asked many questions which no doubt were answered previously.

When I had my medical it was definately a real medical not just an in the office and out.I was thoroughly checked before my x-ray and bloodwork.


To the original poster ask all the questions you wish. I'm sure you'll get a reply no matter how often it may have been previously asked and answered

CanadaNot digging the new look

Yes, that's true, it must be broken!! :hehe:

You know what, this new format has me avoiding VJ, i'm still popping in here from time to time, but I look at the topics in the forum and just go ...meh, can't be bothered :lol:



I'm with you on that. I do the same thing just drop in and don't hang around as much as I use to. This whole new format just annoys me. It just drives me when I search one topic and then when I want to go back to the topic menu it takes me all the way out and I have to click on the Canada forums again very annoying.
Also reading the screen in this new setup seems to be a lot harder on my eyes than the old VJ. I never had any trouble with the resolution on the old one

CanadaT4 - former canadian employer refusing to send it.

Hm I don't know, Never filed for EI never had to but I suppose I would have to ask my former employer for an ROE and well as I stated issues about my T4 which she refuses to send ( still ) I bet the same thing would happen with her sending an ROE lol.



Well sounds like it already is the same as the T-4, because actually by law they are suppose to issue a copy of your ROE to you and send one onto the EI Commission
AllieNot TellingCanada2010-03-15 01:14:00
CanadaT4 - former canadian employer refusing to send it.

Iv worked tons of retail jobs and never gotten anything like that from them, only gotten T4s



When one files for EI they have to have the ROE. Also if they were deducting EI from your pay they would have to issue you this Record Of Employment showing your Insurable earnings and the number of hrs/ worked.
I know I'm straying from your original post about the T-4 not being issued. Just suggesting a possible way you can find out what your income earnings were.

I do agree with Kathryn, sure sound like there's something under the table going on at that place
AllieNot TellingCanada2010-03-15 01:03:00
CanadaT4 - former canadian employer refusing to send it.

An ROE from a retail store? Never had anything of the sort before from retail.



Doesn't every employer have to issue a Record Of Employment for EI purposes when one leaves a job
AllieNot TellingCanada2010-03-15 00:01:00
CanadaT4 - former canadian employer refusing to send it.
Just a thought. If you have an ROE from this employer it should show your total earning on it.
AllieNot TellingCanada2010-03-14 21:50:00

I always thought Employers received a fine for not issuing a T-4

Below is what a 345 is in the Canadian Criminal Code

Part IX -- Sections 321-378 Robbery and Extortion

CanadaSongs that got you through the rough times
Here Without You. By Three Doors Down





Title: 3 Doors Down - Here Without You lyrics

Artist: 3 Doors Down Lyrics




A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face

A thousand lights had made me colder and I don?t think I can look at this the same

But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I?m dreaming of your face

I?m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I?m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it?s only you and me

The miles just keep rollin
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go

I?m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I?m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it?s only you and me

Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won?t take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it?s all said and done
it get hard but it won?t take away my love

I?m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I?m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it?s only you and me

Wait, really? They will send it to me in the U.S.? I left Canada at 31, and have been here 15 years. I still would qualify?

CanadaGoing to get Washington State Drivers License
Being from BC you're not required to take the complete driving exam in WA. State. People from BC , Germany and other US States do not have to take the actual driving test they just show their out of State license for a WA. license.
Where as others must take the full exam written and driving.
Not sure whether they keep your out of State license, with my being from N.S I had to take the full exam so no use in presenting my N.S. license to them

Wow, great game and yes the habs deserved to win!! Guess Price (habs backup goalie) can packhis bags out of town!! Congrats Habs fans!!



You're right everbody was amazed when Bob Gainey took Carey Price with his first pick a few yrs. back.

They did play very good and had OV's number he's not so nifty with the puck in crowded ice and someone in his lane all the time. WA. power play sucked for a team that had the best power play in the NHL this season they sure didn't show it

I hope my killer B's get to meet MTL but Sid The Kid and company will play totally different than WA. with more speed in the break out
