US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Fees for interview	Fees If you have previously paid all fees due to the National Visa Center, there will be no additional fees to pay on the day of the interview. If you have not paid fees at the National Visa Center, please be prepared to pay the following fees on the day of your interview. I-130 immigrant petitions filed in Canada: $404.00 US for each applicant For each family member (spouse/children) added to a petition: $404.00 US for family based applications and $794 US for Employment based. SIV cases: $379 US. K (fiancé/e) visas: $350.00 US cash only I took that from the website for mtl consulate interview etc.. what i put in bold is the cost of the interview... but i noticed higher up for the I-130 404 is added for each additional family member... for the k2 is that also required or is it just one fee of 350$ (even if there is me AND my son) no matter wher ei look nothing is completely straightforward, anyone that has gone through montreal consulate with a k2 visa (moving right away with the k1) could inform me of the price	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2010-12-22 13:14:00

Canada	Dual-Citizenship	ty now trying to tell this and get him to believe is a whole other story lol , ill still try though	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2010-12-07 21:42:00
Canada	Dual-Citizenship	in fact his exact thing he said was ''flight risk'' he supposably ask his boss's wife who asked her accountant about it. the 2 major banks in wisconsin will not give loans to those who have dual-citizenship anyone here experience any of this 1st hand?	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2010-12-06 19:05:00
Canada	Dual-Citizenship	I find it tricky in that the US makes you file income taxes for life. Ashley, I'd be interested in knowing why your fiancé thinks it would affect a house loan. Did he hear it from a friend? There are a lot of misconceptions about immigration and citizenship. I don't think it's necessary to be rude about correcting the misconception(s) when someone is looking to be educated, though. I'm sure your question will help quite a few people. Just look at some of the great answers in this thread. yes he did hear it from a friend who i dont know but he was so pursuaded that i get rid of my canadian citizenship when i move there die to that reason... he unfortunately doesnt og on websites like these so every info that i bring up to him thats new he always has someone or sothing that prevents it from being true.. and to all others ty for responses i will make sure tu clear things up with him even if it means making him read all these posts	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2010-12-06 12:43:00
Canada	Dual-Citizenship	I was discussing with my fiancé about dual-citizenship and he mentioned something about not being able to get a loan for a house or anything for that matter if i have a dual-citizenship. Is that true? What are the advantages and disadvantages of dual-citizenship.	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2010-12-04 01:01:00
Canada	DHL shipping P3 response *TO* Montreal	Really? Considering Montreal has streamlined the process and made it quicker, there's not too much to stress about anymore. Besides, if I get my packet 3 before you, that's going to be stressful anyway! I don't see what would hurt about being able to make a phone call or two just to make sure everything is on track and you'll receive the packet soon. Not that I advise going against your fiance's back, but if you do want the Mtl #, you can just call NVC and ask for it. All you need is the WAC/EAC # and your name and birth dates. Oh, of course I'll keep you posted. I can't remember if you're on my friends list already but if not, I'll add you right now. Even though they have this new online thing with the interview dates being in march and by the time i get my packet 3 most likely april , doesn't seem to be speeding git up that much.. Thats quebec for you theres just something with this province making them always do the bare minimum, therefore always being slow. I guess it's our punishment for being *fake* french.

Canada	DHL shipping P3 response *TO* Montreal	You and I have the same NOA2 date and I haven't gotten packet 3 either. I know my case reached Montreal on the 26th so that means it's only been there 3 full business days as of today. I think we probably have another 1-2 weeks to go. Well we can keep each other posted:) My fiancé wont give me the case number so i can check up on it, he thinks im going to stress over it too much...	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2010-12-03 21:39:00
Canada	DHL shipping P3 response *TO* Montreal	Still waiting for packet 3 aswell i havnt called to find out im just waiting it out, will have to go spend a day at my dads to print out all the papers and stuff (i dont have a printer) unfortunately hes gone on a cruise and will only be back on the 13th. was just wondering abou the police certificate, is it necessary to go to a police station IN montreal for the papers or can i just go to my local police station andmake sure they do a cpic check?	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2010-12-01 23:45:00
Canada	Scheduling appointment	I figured it out got my appointment date friday the 13th of may at 8am	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-01-31 23:57:00
Canada	Scheduling appointment	Instead of picking Permanent resident (K1) scroll down a few more and click on just Permanent resident. That will take you past the payment page and you can pay at the interview in cash :-) oh ty i will try that and repost if it works ^^	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-01-31 23:49:00
Canada	Scheduling appointment	If you have a checking account, and a debit card, you should be able to use your debit card as a credit card for payment. yes but there is no option for my bank on there , all it gives me is 1.Visa or MasterCard 2.American Express 3.Paypal 4.MRV fee receipt (from Scotia bank) and well have none of that .. it wont let me go past the credit card info on the page	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-01-31 22:03:00
Canada	Scheduling appointment	Well i finally received my packet 4 authorising me to schedule my appointment date!! sooo exited... but 1 problem .. i dont have a credit card and it wont let me schedule it any other way .. i sent them an email waiting for a response but has anyone else gone through this dilema?	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-01-31 21:04:00

Was just wondering i remember i saw it somewhere but can't seem to find it is the 350 in us money or canadian ?	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-05-09 08:55:00
Canada	May 2011 Montreal Interviews	May 13th but i will most likely have to change it come the 26th of april ... my sons father after 2 years of not coming to see him despite me having sole custody decided he wants to #### things up for me and ask for 1 day a month of visitation s.... so now im stuck asking the court for permission to move with my son ... and well IF i get permission i will have to translate the documents and i dont have a translator in my town so will have to wait for the government to do it for free... which will take about a month anyone know of a good translator and how much it would cost aproximately to translate fromfrench to english.. a court document	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-04-23 09:28:00
Canada	Aos/Advanced Parole	Good luck - soudns like you've got it all squared away now. yes finally !! i was really freaking out there ... my fiancé says im the luckiest person he knows and im starting to really see why	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-05-19 01:58:00
Canada	Aos/Advanced Parole	You say you 'won't be married by the court date'...but on another line you talk about expediting AP. You do realize that in order for you to apply for AP you must get married and validate your K1 VISA first...right? If anything you should be hitting the courthouse for a quick civil ceremony to get the ball rolling the day after you arrive! Just want to be sure you understand the order of things and how AOS after K1 works. You can have a big fancy church wedding later, but if you want to get AP, you need to get married when you arrive and apply for AOS. Oh i know i have to be married first to be able to apply for the AP, but my lawyer didnt and as for expediting wont be necessary my lawyer will be representing me on that court date and all i need proof of if im not married by then is a receipt or something from the perosn who will be marrying us etc.. (since my fiancé is stubborn) he does nto want to do the whole civil court thing and big wedding after he wants it done once and well personally I dont want to get married in a court house. Atleats things are cleared up and ill be able to go through with this with no complications. Just need to find an official paper a sto wher eit states i cant leave since its a one way entry.. there should be something like that on uscis website	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-05-17 21:05:00
Canada	Aos/Advanced Parole	Well lawyers office went ok my biggest concern was if i didnt show up in court if my sons bio dad could have him taken away from me... but HE CANT!! so i will be moving like planned and since we wont be married by the court date we will give all proof of status so far ( visas adress bills the school charter with my sons name) and a receipt of the place we are renting for the ceremony etc.. anything possible and he will push the date to a further date if it doesnt get contested which it shouldnt. and will definetly try for expedited AP otherwise i stressed myself out for nothing and well just waiting on visas to arrive in dorval and finish packing .. my son keeps asking me '' can i pack my clothes yet, i want to move to daddy's'' and every morning puts an X on the calendar .. I just hope everything goes as planned. I think both missingmycanadian's and Canadiandggal's advice are solid.....all the OP can do is provide as much evidence as possible that she have attempted to comply - her lawyer is going to have to explain that she is waiting on the US immigration authorities to approve AP so she can travel back to Canada and NOT lose her status in the US. Without it, all would be lost and she would not be allowed back into the US. Knowing how little most folks understand about emmigrating to the US...people are always shocked when presented with the details. I suspect this will be a tough go for you. it will be tough but we will get through it, and itll all be worth it in the end	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-05-17 14:08:00
Canada	Aos/Advanced Parole	I talked with my fiancé again and well im stopping by my lawyers today, my fiance said i would need a 30 day extension to get the papers to them but that i would need a time extension to bring my son since we wont be able to leave the country right away my lawyer is either too damn lazy or really saying he cant do it , but says he cant push back the court date until that actual date. this is cause me so much stress everytime i think about it feels like my x bf is controlling my life by a string because of my son .. i am going crazy here i dont know what will happen is i dont go to my court date if it cant get pushed back and i dont want his dad to claim im kidnapping him when actually he or I cant leave the country until we get an advanced advanced parole ... sorry for venting here but this sucks and never would i have thought that problems like this would arrise when i first started this .. sometimes just seemms that itll never happen the way i want it to.	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-05-17 06:32:00

Canada	Aos/Advanced Parole	My court date is for exactly that custody , i have full custody but unfortunately 2 years later his father now wants to be in the picture and well he doesnt want me moving with my son, it basically says on the papers i have permission to bring my son with me until that date then i have to go to court to prove that i actually got married, and other papers regarding my status. unfortunately there are no immigration lawyers in my town nor judges so they dont fully understand the time frame of this whole procedure	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-05-16 15:27:00
Canada	Aos/Advanced Parole	Our plan is to move by june 1st and get married a few weeks after that since I have a court date back in Canada the 16th of august. From what ive read you have to do a biometrics befor eyou ask for the advanced parole? or can you do it before. and it also takes 60+ days to receive it.. now that will cause a huge problem. I also saw something about an infopass appointment to basically get an expedited advanced parole. Has anyone sort of been in this situation and can help? thx	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-05-16 09:01:00
Canada	Review of Interview in Montreal May 16th, 2011	well it is now tuesday and i called DOS to find out why i still havnt gotten any news from my visas .. it has been 10 business days since my interview and according to the man i spoke with MONTREAL in particular is backed up like crazy and that they havnt even printed my visas out yet. I asked if there were any complications or doing some extra checking or investigating and he said no .. that from what he can see everything is in order but that montreal just hasnt printed it out yet.. this is extremely frustrating knowing that im accepted and im waiting on that 1 little paper to let me cross .. so close yet so far.. i hope montreal starts getting to work soon enough..	sdfghjk	Female	Canada	2011-05-31 15:27:00
Canada	Review of Interview in Montreal May 16th, 2011	hmmmm ya cut it close. I didn't receive any paperwork that said 12 days but live and learn. Nothing we can do but wait. I hope next week will be a big delivery week for everyone waiting. I was given 2 papers, the first one was Document delivery information and on the flip side of it is welcome to the united states of america and the 2nd paper was a one sided paper with frequently asked questions on it. ''You may expect to receive your envelope within two weeks of your interview/approval date.'' Thats on the 1st paper i mentioned.
