Ooh. We're looking at getting a bigger place this Spring too... Falls Church is a possibility... How's the commute into D.C.? How big is the condo? Is it a highrise? How much are you thinking of renting it out for? Any VJ discount? :P



lol, VJ discount,lol thats funny. Metro is just over a mile away. Just a regular condo, 1 unit below us and 1 unit above us, guess they refer to this styleof condos as "garden style" as there is just steps, no elevators. good for us, sucks to be people above us,lol

We have a condo, and it has been fine, but we are out of here this Spring. Will rent it out and were buying a house. Will be nice not to have people so close!

I lucked out,my wife provided her own engagement and wedding ring, was her grandmothers,lol Which is sort of cool as she gets many compliments on the pair, BUT then she states it was her grandmothers, so I get no credit,lol

It certainly is! We don't stumble across it that much anymore, even with my Mexican-citizen husband, because it is getting just a bit sketchy down there.

Maybe it is SO busy that they will just fill out my forms and send me on my way instead of this whole registered importer thing that the San Diego office is insisting on.



Just getting sketchy,lol

Canada2010 NHL playoffs
It is a wrap!!! So wanted Philly to win last night, thus a game 7 Friday in Chicago. I didnt really care who won the cup, just wanted more hockey. But it is a bit more exciting when the home team wins in front of their crowd!

They stated that normally the Cup presentation ceremony is held at centre ice, BUT Philly fans are known to be a bit crazy, thus they had it closer to the end of the rink,thus protected by the netting,lol All for not as the philly fans belive it or not, showed some class,lol

Outcome m,ay have been a bit better if Philly had solid goaltending! Yes Leighton made some big stops, but let in a many questionable goals! Until next year...............

Ya, Loungo doesnt appear to be a $$$ goalie!! Sure he won Gold at the Olympics, but he looked shaky then!

Canadians are playing well and getting what you need the most--solid goaltending!! I assume Price is sitting on the bench trying to figure out where he will be playing next yr,lol

Loungo looked sharp last night. He made a stellar save I think in the 2nd period. Part of it was fluke, but ya got to be good to be flukey! lol He hasn't looked consistently sharp in a long time!! Even in the gold medal game he looked shakey!!

I like the pens, just because of crosby and Fleury! Fleury has been great and weak at the same time! Crosby has been stellar for the most part.

great games on tonight, mtl/caps and chicago/nashville!! get the beer a chillin

I find it hard to just pick a team and cheer for them. I much prefer to watch great hockey! Think I stated that statement last in last yrs play offs,lol but if ur team wins 10-0, sure its nice, but its boring hockey. Pens/Sens game soon tonight and caps/Mtl on monday, ya just never know, not a huge deal to win 2 in a row!!!

I just came inside and watched the OT in that game. Who would have thought Nashville would be giving Chicago such a head ache!!

As a leafs fan, we all know when it comes to Leafs vocabulary, it isn't used in a positive manner,lol

Had a gal at work fork over $300 for the last caps game!! She is a new hockey fan, and was sooo excited to go, too bad they lost

Woooo Avs!!

Bill and I scored some last minute tickets to the game last night so we went. The whole thing was absolutely ridiculous! We were out shot 51 to 17 and won it in overtime after a sharks player scored on his own net...



I watched most of that game but not the OT. Anderson was awesome!

I was going to goto the Caps game this past Saturday, not that difficult to get slightly elevated priced tickets, but got lazy and just stayed home and watched it on TV. Was thinking og going to Fridays home game, but will be on the Road to Rhode island to chill for a few days!

Got to have a 2010 NHL play off topic in the Cdn forum,lol Lot of good hockey thus far, and I really don't think that many upsets, as in the playoffs anything can happen. Yes I don't even consider Mtl over the Caps in game 1 an upset, NOR would I be surprised if Mtl won the series. Some are surprised that San Jose lost the 1st game, but San Jose has never been a good play off team, but they did battle back to win the 2nd game in OT!

What has surprised me is the # of my patients that have been watching hockey at the hospital,lol I keep telling them, you want increased attention, just have the hockey game on the tele,lol

CanadaMontreal Interview Review
Majority have NOOOO problems traveling to the USA while the visa process is ongoing. Bring ties to Canada, but it all comes down to the POE officer. Did it pretty much monthly for a few yrs, and never had a problem,but yes some do get denied. Why? no ties to canada, POE officer having a bad day, person not answering the questions correctly, who knows,lol My free and worthless advice is down below in my signature
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2010-06-02 15:09:00
CanadaSo I have my CR-1 Visa....what now?
If after 10-14 BUSINESS days,no SSN in the mail, download a new application from SSA.GOV and head to ur local office with ur Cdn passport and birth cert and inquire about the status of it! If its not in the system, hand them over the already filled out application! I (as well as many others) have had to go this route, mine arrived in the mail 1 week later!

Some banks will allow you to open an account without a SSN, as mine did allow me,but they are probably few and far in between!

CanadaCanadian married an American, now what?
If ur going the CR-1 route, vancouver isn't even in the picture! Montreal is the ONLY consulate in Canada that handles the cr-1. You can do ur medical in any of the approved physicians, which are only on Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, but it will be awhile before u have to worry about that! Whole process takes anywhere from 6 months to 1 yr! I would count on it being closer to 1 yr, but ya never know, as nothing in the immigration process makes much sense at times

Back when I had my greencard--I handed over just my Green card to the USA POE dude (coming back from Canada) and he very sternly (lol) asked for my passport! Probably all depends on which POE officer u get!
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2010-06-20 10:22:00
CanadaAfter marriage
short answer--u NEED the EAD to be able to collect EI as a k1/k3!! One has to be legally able to work to be able to claim it! For thr k1'ers that means no EI until u get the EAD! In the past a few k1'ers were able to get EI, but that was probably because the Cdn officials didnt know what a k1 was,lol! Cr-1 (ir-1) can get EI right away (if eligible)as they already have work authorization

Not to be rude, but why are you starting ANOTHER thread asking the SAME question!! The answers are not going to change!

No one, and I mean no one cares more about your case then YOU!!! Take some time (more than 3o seconds,lol) and read over the cr-1 forum. At the top their are guides then give you step by step instructions!! Same goes for the k1 (fiance) forum!

You don't have to make us belive that ur intentions of staying in the USA was a spur of the moment thing, its the USA govt people that make that decision! You could possibly be flagged because you had a denied entry, or not, who knows! and again,i bet there is step by step instructions on the AOS forum!

The process, paperwork wise isnt that hard, its the waiting for many that is the hardest! So take some TIME and read over the forums! I belive Trailmix on 1 of ur other threads posted a good link for you!! Best of luck
