APPROVED!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. You were right, it was so easy! It was the traveling and the waiting that was the hardest part. The interview literally took 5 minutes, she praised us on our neat paperwork, and just basically read through everything! She didn't even ask us how we met, she just read the paper we submitted with the I-129F and said, "wow you've been corresponding since 2005?" I'll write a review later tonight when I get home.



Congrats!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif

:crying: More snow! Another 4 inches! I guess nothing compared to what the east coast is getting right now. Im so sick of digging my car out!!! :angry:

What the east coast is getting is a culumination of 3 storms that we have had already since December that combined gave us about 3 ft of snow!

It is currently 28F and the entire state of Iowa is under a blizzard warning. It's been snowing nonstop for almost 15 hours now, and the visibility is very minimal. We're expected to get 10-16 inches of snow ~ but they are saying we will probably get closer to the 16 inches. Schools are closing and people are driving like idiots! biggrin.gif I LOVE WINTER, DONT YOU?!?!?! protest6wz.gif


LOL! it's not that cold here yet. Our blizzard warning is supposed to start tonight I think here in Omaha. The snow just keeps on a coming! The plows can't keep up! Once the wind picks up.... Eeek! The high for tomorrow 14F with below zero windchills.

I feel sorry for anyone travelling I-80!

Schools started announcing closings yesterday evening for today! The snow plows can't keep up! Supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow! Winds are gonna pick up tonight and make it a whiteout!!
How fun! At least my hubby is home from work today too smile.gif

I keep looking outside going.... This isn't that bad.... It would be business as usual in Regina... I never ever had a snow day from school! Even when the windchills were -50!!

*sigh* How I wish for these type of summer days. While we did have one of the coolest July's (I think one of the 5 coolest on record), I long for the summers that are around 20C! The mornings in SK are heaven....

Be careful what you wish for! wink.gif


Its freezing outside in the mornings! And today cloudy, windy and cold! mad.gif We have had maybe three or four 30C days! I've worn my summer capris all of 3 or 4 times, they are gathering dust at the moment! You won't hear a peep from me if it gets hot the last few weeks of August!

Snow in June is weird, even for Calgary!


Yup I heard it snowed in Cypress Hills, SK yesterday too! This is ridiculous! Its JUNE!! 20 C during the day and frost warnings at night!

I really can't remember a nicer April in Saskatchewan, yesterday it was 17 C, it rained last night and was 5 C, today its supposed to be 15 C and the monthly trend is above zero temperatures for the rest of the month! Does this mean I can change out my snow tires? LOL! I am just afraid if we do we will get a heck of a snow storm! You can always count on one in Saskatchewan at the end of spring!

They should use snow tires. tongue_ss.gif


laughing.gif Yes they should! or they should at least take into consideration that its not summer anymore and there is ICE!! It takes longer to make turns and people can't stop in time if you cut in front of them! I have snow tires, but I am still cautious and careful! I am just worried about everyone else around me who still drive like its summer!!

CanadaMight have Cancer
caroline I am sorry to hear of the possibility of cancer I just had a co worker go through cancer in her sinuses very rare and aggressive. I can't remember the exact policy but when I was enrolled into tricare it depended on when you got married and able to enroll. I think we got to the tricare office before the 20th of the month so it was effective november 1 2009 for me. It can take that extra month though. As far as the pre existing conditions I am not aware of that policy :(

I haven't had as much trouble as Inky with PCM, so far mine has not moved, but I think mine is civilian at the clinic. Its ridiculous to try to get an urgent appointment though, (hummm reminds me of being in SK...no luck seeing your regular doctor for a common cold, better get to urgent care clinic)...haha but I would rather not pay here in the USA for that, just have to call really early in the morning and hope and pray they can get you in that day... my PCM is always backed up apparently, she always takes so much time with me though. Most of the time trying to log into her computer and spends her time verbally assessing me staring at computer screen...customer service...i remember when my doctor in Canada was actually happy to see me and would shake my hand every time! haha!

CanadaTransfer to Vancouver Consulate
I forgot to add the medical and the consulate aren't too far from each other be a walk for sure but there are buses as well. It would be a trip to get back to woking and try to make it back before consulate closes. I didn't get out of consulate until almost 3:30 had lots of people in the waiting room!

CanadaTransfer to Vancouver Consulate
I'm originally from Regina!

You can do the medical and interview the same day but time wise can be tricky. As long as medical is in the morning and interview in afternoon at 1 pm. The medical in Vancouver is available same day I think after 2. So if you have your interview that day won't be able to pick up results until after( and check w clinic they are open). The consulate will have to give you a slip saying you need to come back and drop off medical. Of course this all depends what days of week wokibg does the medical and what day they schedule your interview. I remember requesting a range of specific dates for vancouver and they seemed accommodating.

I stayed in Vancouver 4 days, medical, then interview then day after to pick up visa. My cousin lives in Burnaby though near the skytrain, was helpful!

CanadaApplied for new Canadian passport today.
Well it's been about a week since charge posted to my account!

Fedex rolled on by this morning...I'm just a wee bit ticked off with passport Canada. The fedex dude asked me if I was expecting something and for my last name. He said im glad I caught you or else I would have sent it back for bad address!! They were 2 numbers off and those 2 numbers don't even exist in my neighborhood! Cmon ppc read and type in correctly!
If I wasn't outside with the dogs it would have been sent back I'm sure!

Anyways they returned all my docs, my previous passport expired 2014 new one in 2016
This would have furthur delayed my 2nd app and made me stress even more got ROC next month!

Well I used UPS for my package to Canada on Thursday, another $40 but its worth it to me as they can track and give me proof of delivery. Not only did it have my original BC but orignal marriage certificate, would like those back! Now for the waiting game all over again! :angry:

Got the new photos and the guy at a different WalGreens was able to cut them to size even making sure the head measurements were right. If they don't accept these ones that will be mailed off tomorrow I don't know what to say! Another $40 in shipping via UPS! *smacks head* This passport process is costing me!! Super thankful Inky was able to resign my guarantor stuff tonight! :)

I hate FedEx I don't know how many times they have said they "attempted delivery" when we were home and saw them drive right past. Passport stuff didn't have a tracking that i knew of but when we were expecting something thats what they would do! Bunch of liers!!Yesterday they left a slip at my door...i was home ALL morning...I work in the afternoon..upon leaving for work saw the damn slip sticking out the door. 10 am this morning the truck actually came by...and STOPPED. :lol:

I'm pretty sure I had to hand over my expired EAD at PoE dont remember at what point in process might have been just a visit while k-1 processing I was also F-1 visa and had EAD for OpT moved back to Canada for a year and a half.

I think when I applied for EAD for AOS I included a copy of previous card and of course what status I was, it didn't speed anything up having a previous one

CanadaAre weiners and lunchmeat ok to bring back to the US now?
Driving to and from SK when I went to school in ND, my friend had to throw out her brand new bag of dog food she had bought while in canada on way back to college because it had meat in it. I had heard to truckers who had packed sandwiches with meat and had to throw out.... Ridiculousness...

When my parents came to visit me mom would make a batch of meatless cabbage rolls and put them in cooler along with perogies....mmmm
