Canada	Middle name issue in visa and passport	I know this is kinda off the topic but............. Just don't get a divorce without your middle initial if its on your marriage certificate. My fiance's (*&$#)@&$)@#$ attorney screwed up and forgot his middle initial on the divorce papers. We have now been held up in court for 9 months because of it. He had to prove that they were both the same person. Good Luck Pri! Edited by jen&darcy, 14 March 2006 - 10:40 PM.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-03-14 22:40:00
Canada	Canadian Directions ..... lol	I checked Old Dutch website and they do not shipped All Dressed. I like theirs the best. I know picky, picky. They ship many other kinds but not that kind. Bummer!!!! Woo hoo! I leave tomorrow AM for Kelowna, BC.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-03-21 23:22:00
Canada	Canadian Directions ..... lol	Timmy's aren't everywhere in Ohio. I am SW of Cleveland and there are none here. My fiance is majorly bummed. A few times he flew down here he brought his own Timmy's. We are hoping that they make there way north from Columbus or East from Toledo. He is also going to miss his Slurpee's! He couldn't believe there was no 7-11's near me. He was quite devastated! We have Circle K though and they are now owned by Mac's so I guess he will survive! :lol Oh and I almost forgot. I love those Old Dutch potato chips. I am the USC but dang those are good. Yum! All Dressed is my favorite. Grrrrrrr!!! You can't order them to be delivered to the states. Its the only brand you can't have delivered. It figures! I am leaving for BC in 3 days. Will have a suitcase full on my way back.....j/k Edited by jen&darcy, 19 March 2006 - 10:11 PM.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-03-19 22:14:00
Canada	Flying up to Vancouver for the Interview	I will be flying to Vancouver for my fiance's interview. One question I have is do you get a one-way ticket or a roundtrip ticket? Also, what do you tell customs? To kind of give you some background behind these questions. I am flying to Vancouver for his visa. From there we are flying to Winnipeg where all his stuff is sitting in storage. He currently resides in Kelowna, BC with his parents to save on costs until the visa is processed. We are then renting a U-Haul moving truck from Winnipeg and driving to Ohio. So technically I only need a one-way but not sure what kind of grief I will get at customs when I fly to Vancouver. Any thoughts!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-03-28 16:01:00
Canada	NOA2 Issued	Congrats!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-03-29 10:10:00

Canada	Tim Horton's	i'm going to get karen to try one of these new specialty products. ya'll keep quiet now! Ya'll is that a new Canadian word? I thought it was eh!!!!!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-06 15:09:00
Canada	Tim Horton's	You people are too funny! I chuckle while catching up on this post. My fiance would love to open a TH franchise here. We have a perfect spot! I live in a fairly small town and there are NO coffee shops here. None! No Starbucks, Caribou....nothing!!!!!! There is two major highways here and still nothing. There is a small problem....NO MONEY! Oh well, one can dream!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-03 21:49:00
Canada	Tim Horton's	Ok this doesn't relate to the visa per se but I had to thank whoever it was that suggested the English Toffee Cappuccino from Tim Horton's. I saw it on a thread here last week before I went to Kelowna, BC to visit my fiance. I think I had two of them a day while I was there. Now I will be going through withdrawals. He wants to buy a case of coffee before we move him down in the Fall.....	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-03-28 15:51:00
Canada	K-1 Visa APPROVED!!	Congratulations on the visa!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-11 20:05:00
Canada	Joe Canadian	That is really funny. My fiance makes fun because we say grill down here instead of a barbeque that you cook on outside. Also at least me and my family say roof. It rhymes with woof like a dog. He says it differently. hehe!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-12 18:07:00
Canada	Timeline woes	Mine is as updated as it can be. Still waiting for the '31-day cooling off period'. I will update as soon as I file the I-129F.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-10 20:58:00
Canada	Moving Advice Needed	We are planning on moving by U-Haul. My fiance lives in Kelowna, BC but his stuff is in storage in Winnipeg. We haven't gone through the process yet but we have researched this. There are many do it yourself movers that will not allow their trucks to cross the border. However, U-Haul does. We looked into private moving companies too. For us, U-Haul was the cheapest. Jen	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-17 11:55:00
Canada	Canada post - is the tracking up to date?	I believe its because they were on holiday from Friday through Monday. I am waiting for an express package from my fiance and we were told that it will be delayed because of the holidays.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-18 12:47:00
Canada	I might be crazy	Sweet mother- there are some opinions here that are quite pessimistic!!! It was just a thought folks. And you never know-I just may do it! Never underestimate the power of a Canadian Woman! I agree with you!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-21 12:12:00
Canada	I might be crazy	Too funny! My fiance and I thought about the same thing. We already have a location picked out! haha! It would be an awesome experience. Go for it!!!!!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-20 12:53:00
Canada	Passport Needed	Thank you all! I will be applying for one once we get married in the Fall.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-23 11:21:00
Canada	Passport Needed	I thought I would post this here instead of in the general forum. I, the USC, don't have to have a passport do I? He has one but I do not. I was going to wait to apply til after we were married and it takes like six weeks to get here.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-20 12:55:00
Canada	Any Canadians living in Maine	I am not in Maine but I would like to visit!!!!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-20 12:56:00
Canada	NOA2 already!	Thank for the warm wishes Cdngirl06! Only thing I am grateful for based on other posts is we are going through Vancouver and not Montreal. Now I am so glad he moved to Kelowna from Winnipeg! Edited by jen&darcy, 25 April 2006 - 03:36 PM.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-25 15:35:00

Canada	Don't want to be hassled at the airport	I always say be honest but then again I am driving to Hamilton, ON next week to pick up my fiance. We shall see what happens when we try to cross back over. Sorry I am not much help!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-25 14:53:00
Canada	Don't want to be hassled at the airport	<sigh> As much as I have tried to discourage my fiance, he has me looking for plane fare for next month. I found $325.00 RT from Calgary which is a really good price. It will be a 5-day trip. He is going to get a letter from his employer but that is all he will have. He currently lives with his parents until the visa is final. Just another thing for me to worry about!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-23 11:27:00
Canada	Don't want to be hassled at the airport	Well sweeite let me tell you this from my OWN personal experience. It all comes down to WHO you get at the border and what kind of attitude they have. Been there done THAT..... I am convinced they do NOT like this back and forth thing and they are really afraid your going to get married here and not go back. I had my dealings with the border in Sk and they were jerks.... I WAS flagged and I am sure you are... you will remain flagged. I had such a awful time I reported the guy at the border. When I spoke to a head supervisor he told me "border patrol holds A LOT of power" uh huh I knew that. THEN he proceeds to tell me I was flagged why..... cause like you I came to visit 2 times.... then he told me I would be UNFLAGGED once in the USA and finally get my PR card.... and here we are. This June 12th will be 2 yrs I been here, and I got my PR card feb -06 I am off to Canada in May... yea sweetie I can sypmathize with border.... if your going to chance it get your hands on CONCRETE things that tie you to going back... good luck hunnie I mean that sincerely, I totally agree with shirlJ831's post. My fiance was denied entry last May 05 and we hadn't even filed for the K-1 yet. He was denied at a land border. However, in June 05 he came to see me by plane and wasn't asked a single question. He now wants to surprise me sometime during the wait time for the visa. I am trying discourage any way I can because of the fear of him being denied. Just be honest and hope you get a really nice person that isn't having a bad day. Unfortunately, that is how it is.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-17 19:31:00
Canada	An unusual situation...any thoughts	Are you trying to say in some unusual way that you want to be my co sponsor? lmao! Didn't I see you last April when I drove through Banff? j/k!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-28 23:23:00
Canada	Medical	I have asked a similar question before but I need everybody's opinion. My fiance would normally be going to Vancouver for his medical exam. However, he may go to Calgary because its easier. He is asking me that if he can go before he receives packet 3. We are filing the K-1 petition next week. He wants to go in June and get it done. The reason is he will need to fly to Calgary (even if he was going to Vancouver he would need to fly) and needs to work around his very hectic schedule plus not wanting to purchase a plane ticket at the last minute. When they send out the Packet 3 is the medical they request specific to you or is it general? Are there forms you can obtain ahead of time that you can take with you or do you have to use what is supplied in Packet 3? Thank you everybody in advance.

Canada	Montreal Experience	Congratulations!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-25 22:19:00
Canada	I'm in the USA visiting my fiance!	I have two good news to share. First I'm sitting in my fiance's living room typing this. I left Canada to visit him two days ago and wanted to share my border crossing experience for others thinking of traveling from Canada to the States during the K1 process. I went through Peace bridge for Ontario/Buffalo border, and it was EASY!!! No problems what so ever. They asked... What is the purpose of your trip? response: to visit my fiance. Why is your fiance in Connecticut? response: because he is a US citizen and lives there. So when is the wedding? response: Haven't set a date yet. Will you be living in the states afterwards or him living in Canada? response: probably the States. When will you be returning and what work you do in canada? response: may 8th and office work. Ok than your good to go enjoy your visit. YAY!!!! I have had harder times than that before!! The second guy who checked my bags asked the same questions but I mentioned to him we already have a petition sent and he said So you are doing it the right way? I said Yes sir we are. He said that's good. And that was it. I was soooo worried because the first person took 15 minutes to go through and I heard them asking about her not having ties to come back to Canada. I had brought a letter of employment from my boss but they never asked me that so I didnt have to mention it. Felt good knowing I had it as back up just incase. Second good news of the day is they received our request for additional evidence and are processing it right now. YAY!!! back to the waiting game. I was over excited because when i checked my email I had more than one email from them and was hoping that one was they received it and the other was its approved. But they had sent the same emial more than once. Congratulations! Thank you for posting. I will be going over the Peace Bridge next Friday to pick up my fiance at the Hamilton, ON area. (It saved us $350.00 in airfare) I hope us going across will go as smooth.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-29 00:00:00
Canada	Birth Certificate Question	I am not sure how long it takes Alberta. My fiance got his in Winnipeg and took about 6 weeks to get in the mail. Good Luck!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-05-01 11:15:00

Canada	Visiting my customs friends	Darcy just told me as he is sitting in Calgary airport waiting for his next plane that I can't bring beer back anyways because I will only be in the country a few hours. I forgot about that. Its ok I will take Timmy's over beer anyways.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-05-05 10:29:00
Canada	Visiting my customs friends	Bring back some decent beer, eh? hehe! I am definitely bringing back a few tins of Tim Horton's!!!!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-05-05 07:06:00
Canada	Visiting my customs friends	Well today is the day that I travel to Hamilton, ON to pick up Darcy. I think I have everything I need to get to and from Canada. He is bringing a letter from his employer and I have the NOA1 if asked for. I post tomorrow how it goes so other people will know.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-05-05 06:57:00
Canada	Anyone going to Vancouver for Interview soon??	Oh I am patient. I have lots to do before the interview comes. I am actually a little relieved of the wait.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-27 21:30:00
Canada	Anyone going to Vancouver for Interview soon??	I wish I was......Good Luck!	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-04-27 21:21:00
Canada	Live in Vancouver but interview in Montreal. Why?	i am in winnipeg and have applied for the k-3 visa. will my interview be in vancouver or montreal? Vancouver Is this for sure Zyggy? I thought when my fiance lived in Winnipeg we were going to have to go to Montreal. I may have been mistaken. Edited by jen&darcy, 10 May 2006 - 08:42 AM.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-05-10 08:41:00
Canada	Live in Vancouver but interview in Montreal. Why?	This must be why that Vancouver has a shorter wait time for K interviews versus Montreal. It makes sense now (not the process just why there is such a wait in Montreal). My heart goes out to all who are waiting for Montreal.

Canada	Montreal consulate	Yeah, I would love to know how they do it. I was really surprised how quick the first step was, and its been fast since then, relatively. I wonder if anyone keeps any stats here with anything more than what service centre, country of origin etc that we normally see. I would be interested to see if level of education or profession, ethnic profiling, anything really has to do with the length of time it takes. Or something besides it was on the desk and got accidentally knocked into the out basket. Yes that would be very interesting statistics.	jen&darcy	Not Telling	Canada	2006-05-12 09:07:00
