Canada	Mind if I post a funny for you all?	I don't Twitter, I don't FB and damn, I am proud of that. I am enough of a spaz that I would post something ridiculous or embarrassing and then have to spend way too much making reparations! Just the thought of that gave me the goosebumps!

Canada	Mind if I post a funny for you all?	Krikit? That made my day! I laughed out loud at that. My worst, worst nightmare is sending the wrong person an email or a whole group of people an email not intended for them! Loved that... thanks for sharing... QUOTE (Krikit @ Aug 27 2009, 02:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OMG, that totally reminded me of the time my cousin, Kelly, made an email error! So she and her husband, Jay, had not long had a baby and they were heading up north to his father's B&B for the weekend. So Kelly decides to head up early. I'd been over the night before for dinner and there were lots of leftovers, so Kelly emailed Jay the following message: "The keys are on the counter. You can eat the leftovers for dinner. And DON'T FORGET THE CONDOMS!!!!!" And then she hit "Send". Only she'd just been set up with a new ISP and mailer and hadn't realized that she'd attached her entire address book to the distribution list! Including her boss and her father-in-law!!!!!!! OMG, so I received the email at work and I'm HOWLING because I'd just hit "Reply-All" saying: "Thanks! Looks like it's going to be a great weekend!" because I thought she was sending it to me. So then my phone rings and she's on there freaking out, and I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. And there are people appearing at my office door literally killing themselves laughing because I can't stop laughing and I'm practically on the floor. OMG. Thanks for the memories. BTW..... they conceived another child that weekend because she got drunk and forgot to use the condoms.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2009-08-27 13:48:00

Canada	Two different stories, one ruined wedding. (Posting again and with updates)	If i were you amberhoney, I would go with the CR1 over the K3... seriously. It's a landed immigrant visa, upon completion and approval, you will be green card equiped -- you can work almost straight away and since you'll have been married less than to years you do a Removal of Conditions to get your 10 year green card. It's a far better visa and... Duhduhduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... It's a lot less expensive!! Do your research first, a little more time to ensure you're doing it right wont' hurt. If your guy is in Michigan, it's not that far to travel really so... anyway.... just trying to help.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2009-10-26 22:10:00
Canada	Two different stories, one ruined wedding. (Posting again and with updates)	No, no you're not in a fetal position at all. IT may take some time and it will, but you guys will be together. Think of it like this, so let's say you take your time and you file for the K3, i would go CR1 if I were you, but we can talk about that a different time. So say you're apart for like 8 months right? Then, when you are together, you'll be together forever. On top of that, you will have done it legally and right and you will be a welcome addition to the US. And you'll have the rest of your life with your husband. I know it seems rough now but look around you, we are ALL or have been in the same boat you are. But we made. talk to all the lovely people here who live with their spouses and stuff, they're happy to have done it. So... let us help you, get all your stuff together, go see your guy when you can for a week or two at a time, bring your ties to canada and soon? you'll get your visa and you'll laugh this off and you'll also laugh at all the things people said to you that you don't like now. I promise. That's all I can promise but it's probably more valid than a Border Patrol guard. Best, honey... or Miele...

Canada	Two different stories, one ruined wedding. (Posting again and with updates)	Honey... may I call you honey??? This IS a public forum don't forget you will, I repeat, you WILL get both constructive and critical advice and observations here. My advice? Suck it up. Take what you need and go from there. By announcing all this to the public, you will assuredly place yourself in a position where someone will have something you won't like to hear. You will have to deal with it... Good luck! We have all been on both sides of the coin. QUOTE (ambermiele @ Oct 26 2009, 10:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Again, Calling the USCIS, they had told us the process would have gone faster with a US marriage license. It's just what we were told, and so we had planned for that. I didn't even know this until yesterday. I would prefer constructive comments rather than criticism or nit-picking. Please don't belittle what and how we have learned things up until now. We only have a little amount of time to make this go through properly and hopefully as planned.

Canada	Two different stories, one ruined wedding. (Posting again and with updates)	amber... Do you have a job? A lease for a place to live? These are the BEST ways to prove your ties to Canada... a bank account and things like that. Items that show that you HAVE to return to Canada. Keep in mind too, they could still deny you. But the more you bring the better. When I got the US to see my husband, I bring a letter from both my jobs stating when i'm to return, a copy of my rental agreement a letter from myland lord, bank statements, my NOA2. Umm, what else. Well, anything that I can get my hands on that show I live in Canada and must return. My cell phone bill, my cable and internet bill... Stuff like that.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2009-10-26 21:33:00

Canada	The Vent - Part 2	Once again Trailmix, you have hit the nail on the head... why am I going to kiss the butt of some employee who happens to only be the face if ineptitude? I'll sit there conduct my interview and move on. They have the right to deny me and that, I will not toy with. They are the face of a system that is poorly run and has let us down in terms of a lot of things. So... we're to sit back and take it? but, we can't take it out on the poor person, singular, that's manning the booth that day as... they are only the face of a poorly run system/company. I agree... I also NEVER hope to offend anyone here by my comments and such. NOt my intent. FYI... QUOTE (trailmix @ Nov 9 2009, 12:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> While I do think that some of the the criticism of Montreal perhaps goes over the line a bit - I don't think that kissing butt, for lack of a better term, is going to make one iota of difference. I do not doubt that these people work hard, I have never thought any differently, as I mentioned, I spent many hours at the Calgary consulate documenting my citizenship and I know they are busy. All that aside, while it may not be their fault directly (as they are the employees) - other consulates do manage to crank out many thousands of visas per year and in a timely fashion. Why Canadians are not given this same respect, I do not know. What I do know is that if no one speaks up about it, it will not change. We complain and continue to complain about there only being 1 consulate in Canada that processes IR1 visas - what is the response? We end up with only 4 panel physicians for the ENTIRE country. - 4 panel physicians for the whole country - Having to travel to Montreal for the immediate relative visa - Many months of wait time between completion at NVC and interview Does this sound like an organization that has respect for Canadians? I don't think it does. But again, these people work for an organization that has put this in place, I doubt seriously that anyone ever asked them their opinion about only having one consulate process these visas. That said, we have all worked for poorly run companies and when you pick up that phone in the office to speak with a customer, they are not concerned with the fact that it is the chief that made these decisions - you are the representative for the company. While this is not really fair, I do think it is realistic to expect that you are going to get some backlash from a poorly run organization.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2009-11-09 12:55:00
Canada	The Vent - Part 2	OH man, when we were going through all that stuff, I called NVC every single day, sometimes twice just so see if there was an update that required my immediate attention. I sort of miss that, actually. Get into work. Sit down with coffee, wait on hold with NVC while checking work email. Now? I got nothin'. I actually hate calling NVC these days as it's the same old b.s... Rocking, Wyatt... you guys'll be done soon... QUOTE (Wyatt's Torch @ Nov 9 2009, 12:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I should also add that this is a great example of why one should call NVC's AVR every day. If I'd called on Thursday evening, we would have been able to have all of this sent off on Friday. The RFE was dated November 5th, but I only learned about it because I decided (on a lark) to call NVC's AVR.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2009-11-09 12:08:00
Canada	The Vent - Part 2	Brilliant! Thank goodness for an easily fixable RFE, eh? and lucky that you're there, eh? QUOTE (Wyatt's Torch @ Nov 9 2009, 11:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Okay. Thanks in part to a helpful NVC agent, and in HUGE part to a few frantic PMs back and forth with Redmen99, it looks like the mistake was a very simple one. My wife put in her adjusted gross income on line 25, thinking that's what they wanted. In actuality, they only want adjusted gross income for 1040EZ forms...and NOT for standard 1040s. So she changed the adjusted amounts to gross amounts and I just resent them to NVC. The wording for that question could be a bit better...but so it goes. Here's hoping they can fix this RFE asap! The one GOOD thing to come out of this is that the NVC agent was indeed very helpful, and assured me that this was the ONLY mistake with our documentation. So presumably, once this gets dealt with, we'll be case complete. I'm glad this was caught TODAY, as my wife can bring me the hard copy of the amended I-864 home from work with her in an hour or so.	lgg	Not Telling	Canada	2009-11-09 12:03:00
Canada	The Vent - Part 2	Wyatt... I had to look at what question 25 even was... what was the issue with it? Need a hand or anything? It looks like it'll probably be easy to fix, right?

Canada	The Vent - Part 2	AWwwww. Wyatt... Well, at least you got some time with your wife, right? AND, soon enough, this whole process'll be over and I wouldn't feel bad about moving in with the 'rents a for a few months -- god knows if I had that chance, I would do it in a heartbeat and I am a lot older than you! Seriously... to be able to save that much money for a few months? I consider you lucky if anything else... Good luck my friend... Soon enough, we'll all laugh about this...
