K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Still waiting on RFE??!??!?	Thank you Divine Mercy.......by the way......very cute family picture .........for your encouragement. To answer your question the RFE email doesn't tell you anything other than a hard copy letter was sent out supposedly the same day and in the hard copy letter it will tell you what evidence/information they want. When I sent a letter to USCIS over 2 weeks ago I also put with the letter what I think they might be looking for. I just contacted the state reps office so I hope we hear something soon. Thank you again for your encouraging words. May you continue to be blessed. PS.....being from Philly YOU know our unpredictable weather......LOL.......I don't want my baby to get a cold as soon as he gets here if he has to come during the winter.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Still waiting on RFE??!??!?	Thank you Mrs. Akindel for your very encouraging words. I have been praying incessantly every single day and so has my Tani. That is the only thing that keeps me going through the day, prayer and knowing I have the deep love of my fiance. This has just been a very extremely frustrating process.......one I really was hoping we didn't have to go through but.........we're here and I know we will get through it. We just wanted to marry before wintertime here. Hopefully we can still do so. Thank you again. May you remain blessed.	Anika&Tani	Female	Nigeria	2007-07-01 16:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Still waiting on RFE??!??!?	I'm at a lose for words now and beyond frustrated I've been waiting for the infamous RFE since May 24th when I got the RFE email. As of today I've received NOTHING. Got more touches but no RFE. I've called several times requesting it to be resent and even set and went to an INFOPASS appointment and left there no more knowledgeable than I am now on when the RFE is to arrive. I was told by the agent at the local USCIS office to send a letter requesting it to be resent. I've done that and they have had my letter plus what I think they might be looking for, for 2 weeks now!!! And still nothing. Haven't had anymore touches since May 29th. Short of calling my state rep I just don't know what else to do. I guess we are suppose to just plain wait indefinitely until who ever is working on our case to get their act together...........I just feel helpless Any USEFUL AND HELPFUL advice would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure they get the mileage down as kms, though. They sure screwed that one up. I had to convert my KMs into miles, so they put down miles in their system. They didn't have KMs or something like that in their system. Anyway it worked so whatever!	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-06-22 21:07:00

Canada	Canada/US Crossing with Vehicle Letter	QUOTE (poprocks @ Mar 16 2009, 05:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I heard that some Head Office manufacturers will not release this letter, until your Canadian Loan is paid out. They kind of hold it randsom lol! First of all, do you need the compliance letter the day you cross the boarder with your K1? or do they let you through and you will need it within 90 days to register your car in your State? If I need this letter the day that I cross, and Volvo is not willing to release the letter until I pay out my loan, how on earth will we qualify for a US loan for a car that is still registered in Canada? Is there a grace period for the car import, or will I need it for that day? I need to call Volvo tmrw.... I swear this car thing is becoming bigger and bigger If my car is less than 3 months old, is my bill of sale ok in any way? Well they may let you through with the car and you can "import" it later.... but the problem about that is that you'll have to go all the way back to a POE to import it, as you need to get all the paperwork from US Customs. I don't know about the loan thing, as when I called Mazda for mine they didn't ask a thing, like if I'd paid off my loan or anything.... they sent me the letter and my car wasn't paid off yet, I paid it a few months later. Depsite the age of your car, old or new, you need a compliance letter.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-03-16 17:33:00

I can come back to Canada and have a surgery and have my U.S. health provider pay for that?? How is that possible? If thats the case then that would be great as I do not want to lose my surgeons here in Montreal. We already don't have enough of them here in Quebec and the ones I have I trust with my life. I meant more along the lines of emergencies. Your main/regular healthcare would stay in the U.S. - but honestly the U.S. medical system is great if you have coverage. They have the best Dr.'s in the world if you can afford it/have coverage. Canada loses amazing Dr.'s to the U.S. everyday I'm sure. But who knows, maybe your U.S. health coverage provider would pay for an elective type non emergency procedure in Canada - heck it might even work out cheaper for them. You'd just have to check and look into it. I agree with this. I've already seen so many pluses to the US healthcare system - if you have insurance obviously. But I notice the differences and understand now why so many Canadian docs leave to come here.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-03-12 12:04:00

B/C a couple of years ago... my ex was dismissed from employment, he collected EI. But, he went to work for a cruise ship for 6 months. EI didnt find out about it, and he just made his phone calls and collected direct deposits. Who knows if they'd find out, I'm sure they have their ways.... but the point is, IF they did you'd have to pay it all back. When you sign the cards you're declaring everything you state is the truth, and IF they found out they could garnish the money back as you lied. I don't think it's worth the risk getting caught, plus it's wrong to lie too and collect $$ you're not exactly entitled to.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-04-17 21:59:00

Don't apply while in Canada, but try to apply 1-2 days after your US arrival. You'll only get 90 days and the clock starts ticking the moment you arrive. 90 days to receive EI? or 90 days to apply for it? Just trying to figure out if I only have 3 months of it or not.. The documentation is your ROE from current employer and I-94 which you will get upon Visa activation. Also a copy of your Visa. They need the original ROE, but apply online first. You get the EI for 90 days upon crossing the border, and they stop giving it to you after 90 days (they determine this date based on your I-94) until you receive your EAD or Green Card. Therefore you must apply ASAP upon USA arrival, or else you'll miss good days you are eligible to receive it. Edited by JillA, 04 February 2009 - 09:30 PM.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-02-04 21:29:00
Canada	The Canuck EI Thread	QUOTE (TimandJoyce @ Feb 2 2009, 04:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did anyone apply for EI before leaving Canada? Or are you supposed to apply after you move? I know you have to apply within 4 wks of last day worked. Not sure how all that's going to fall into place when I have my interview and such. Tim is coming up when it happens, ( I'm so happy!!) and then we'll fly back to the States together after about a week. Little early to tell though, exactly the play by play... Don't apply while in Canada, but try to apply 1-2 days after your US arrival. You'll only get 90 days and the clock starts ticking the moment you arrive.	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-02-03 15:03:00

I just tried and it said I didn't have one, but I did have 1 payment of EI in 2008. Wow, I just got a hard copy in the mail! Good stuff!	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-02-02 16:02:00

Canada	The Canuck EI Thread	It was really good news for me too when I found out.... I can contribute to rent and bills!! I just transfer every few weeks. I believe trailmix started a wiki page for EI to answer FAQ's and there are websites for you to look at. Here are a few to get you started: http://www1.servicec...tsidecanada.pdf http://www.hrsdc.gc....s/regular.shtml http://www1.servicec..._preamble.shtml	JillA	Female	Canada	2009-01-24 10:50:00
