CanadaFinding a bank in the US
QUOTE (JillA @ Oct 15 2008, 08:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yes this issue is definitely a pain in my rear too. Glen called his bank about adding me to his account and making it joint; and getting me a bank card and credit card attached to our account. They said NO until I have an SSN #, which is frustrating. What am I to do with no access to the bank, ask hubby for "allowance" on a weekly basis!?



wow, ur greedy, once a month should suffice! lol

CanadaNexus with CR-1

I had my Nexus card before I started my CR1 process and used it during the process. When I got my CR1 visa, I went to the Nexus office and updated my information there. I now used it every day coming home from work in Canada. (about once a week the border patrol guy asks me my status and wants to see my PR card). I love my Nexus card!


I'm very new on this site (1st post... woohooo!) smile.gif
I'm looking for the answer about the NEXUS pass in conjunction with a pending I-130.
I have a Nexus pass now and I'm getting married this December '08 (I'm in Vancouver and fiance in Washington). We plan to send in the I-130 application in January '09. I thought that I'm not allowed to go into the US during the I-130 process? But it sounds like LindaB, you went in and out of the US without a problem with your nexus pass.

My question is... is that legal? Did you manage to do that because they didn't catch on, or is that really allowed?
I just don't want to try this and then find out later that by doing so I'm abandoning my application and have to start all over again.

Advice please, anyone?



many Cdns visit while the process is ongoing. Majority don't have any problems, but some do get denied entry. My free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer
2) Be confident in ur replies
3)keep ur response short and to the point, dont tell ur life story!!
4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!
5)pack light! No job resumes with you
6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)
7) Always be polite, being rude isnt going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!
8) have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didnt lie! Refer to #1

Best of luck

CanadaNexus with CR-1
There are a few VJ members that even after the visa process (cr-1/ir-1) still work in Canada, one is even a Cdn border agent,lol But I belive they return to Canada the majority of the time. I would think if you spent the majority of time in Canada,that would lead to problems. I know for the naturalization paperwork, you have to jot down all days (24 hr or more) that u were outside of the USA

I'm sure they do random checks as well. As well they are trained to look for certain gestures and responses to their questions. Who knows what the reasons are.

The problem is that in this case, her intention is to marry and stay. And that is illegal.



She is already in the USA!!
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2008-10-23 13:33:00

yep like thetrbel stated!! 1 downside of going that route is that if you leave the USA before u can finish AOS or get Advance parole, is that you may not be allowed to reenter,then you have to start over with a k3 or cr-1! So if someone dies, big family event, you may not be able to go!! And of course u can't work! but its an option
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2008-10-23 13:10:00

If she came into the USA with NO intent of staying then decided to stay,she COULD stay and AOS!! There are soem VJ members that have done this.

Thank you all for the info. OK then may I ask. If his divorce comes through soon and we get married immediately before I spend to much time here. Can I not apply for a married visa and stay here or will I need to wait it out back in Canada?



on e can if you had NO INTENT of coming to the USA and staying. If you go that route, just be aware you CAN"T leave the USA until you reach a certain part of the process. Well you can leave the USA, but more than likely you wont get back in!!
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2008-10-22 15:00:00
CanadaConfused, confused, confused.
There is always confusion when the time 'restarts" BUT when the POE officer sees that one is spending more time in the USA than Canada, ur chances of being denied are greater. So if u spend ur 6 months in the USA,then take off for a cruise to Mexico, the POE is going to see that ur spening more time in the USA and 'may" say, no entry for you!! Then its time to fly or swim from mexico to canada!!
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2008-10-22 14:25:00
Canadahow long does it take for visa to arrive from MTL?
Lot of variables. Where do u live in canada?? How soon the consulate mails it out. Sometimes they mail it out right away, other times, it takes a few days for them to just get it into the mail!

Thanks guys! Hopefully if everything goes well the beginning of December. It is currently in attorney review so the next thing we need to do is secure the mortgage and do the home inspection. We asked for a 45 day closing since 60 days put us right around Christmas time. Regardless, it's really great and I'm really looking forward to not living with my inlaws anymore!
