CanadaPOE question-Activating Visa during visit-before moving
Hey VJ'ers,

I have a question about the POE stuff. I hoping to get my Visa delivered this week. Once it comes, my wife and I will be booking a trip to fly to the US to go house shopping etc. We will be flying out of Toronto so of course will need to go through airport security/customs etc...

We are not moving to the US during this trip - we will be after we buy a house and all that (likely 4-6 weeks after this trip). Do we have to activate the Visa and all that stuff during this first trip across the border or is that done when we are actually moving? Would it be easier to do this during this trip (not having our U-Haul all packed up and ready for a 24 hour drive), or does it have to be done when we are physically moving?

Any opinions or information?

Also - I am going to be bringing my Canadian purchased car across the border when we do move, can I get the paperwork at the airport to import it? Does anyone know the forms/information we need to get that process going? (i"ve read some stuff about it on here but some of it is dated and hard to follow)

Thanks everyone for your info!

CanadaWhat to Expect
We just got our XpressPost envelope yesterday! In the envelope there is your passport with a Visa glued to one of the pages in the middle, and a brown envelope (maybe 8" X 10") that is sealed up and has big notices on the outside that says 'Do Not Open'. Thats it. Your passport and the envelope.

You take the passport and the envelope with you to the POE and give it to the customs people, apparently they take you into another room, take your envelope, review the contents, finger print you, have you sign some stuff, and send you on your way. From what I've read here and from the conversation I had with a customs guy, thats all there is to it.

hope this answers your question

CanadaMontreal Interview June 13/07
Colin,

Another one snagged.....That blows! I'm sorry to hear you have to jump through these hoops too. It's great that your son will co-sponsor you though and it should be a non-issue, just a pain in the a$$ waiting.

Good luck with your co-sponsor and getting the Visa nice and quick!

CanadaSocial Security Number - Who do I call to check status?
Hi everyone...

Well I got my visa and had it activated and all that, now I'm waiting for my SSN and actual green card to arrive. It's only been 2 weeks since we activated the visa but now we're in the process of purchasing a house and our bank needs my SSN before we can close (in 2 weeks). Anyone know who you can call to check the status of it? Any way to get it quickly? I checked on the SSA website and the two 1-800 #s provided both say they're out of service (nice...). Can anyone shed some light? Phone number, email address, anything??

Thanks

CanadaMTL Timeline to Interview
Hello all,

Just wanted to post an update...we have been waiting for 3 months for our interview in Montreal and we received the following letter today:

Your immigrant visa petition (I-130) was previously approved at a US consulate. Congress recently pass the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, a law requiring that all I-130 petitions undergo a further screening to determine if the US Citizen petitioner has ever been convicted for certain types of crimes. Because of this new requirement, the Department of state has instructed embassies and Consulates worldwide to suspend processing on any I-130 petitions that were filed through a US Consulate after the effective date of this act and to forward these petitions to the Department of Homeland Security's Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for further processing. To meet the requirements of the Adam Walsh Act, every I-130 petition filed since its effective date (July 27, 2006) must undergo an additional law enforcement check to determine whether the petitioner has a criminal record relevant to the act. Consular officers do not have access to and by law are not authorized to obtain petitioners criminal history records, which must be reviewed to establish eligibility under the Adam Walsh Act. Consular officers, therefore cannot run the checks now necessary to approve a petition,

You are waiting for an interview but we are required to send the petition to USCIS for their review and approval. Unfortunately, we have no idea right now how long this action will delay your case. As soon as we receive additional guidance on handling these petitions, we will inform you. Please do NOT submit any documents to us at this time because we cannot proceed with processing your case and any documents submitted may be outdated by the time your case is eligible for processing. We understand that this change may cause significant delays for some families, but it is based on legal requirements that we cannot disregard. We sincerely regret the additional delay and inconvenience this will cause you.

Sincerely,

Immigrant Visa Unit Chief

So there it is....

I guess the only thing I can say is that I'm deflated and very disappointed. I was so excited to finally get this mystical letter from the US Consulate - tearing it open to see that big fat interview date....this was what I was let down with instead. "No idea how long this will delay you case" Days??? Weeks??? Months??? Years??? No estimate...no indication of how long this may continue to keep new wife and myself in limbo....

Sorry if this same thing is happening to you, we sympathize. Lets just hope for a quick resolution to this issue and get things back on track.

CanadaMTL Timeline to Interview
Well folks - I'm very new to the message board but I am sooo glad I found it. I thought there was some sort of problem with our application and were somehow being left behind on the interview scheduling. We married in late August and submitted the I-130 petition in mid-September. Everything seemed to happen really quickly and seemed to be going great. We got out package with the checklist and had all of our documentation collected and sent back to them within days (we had sarted getting the documents we'd need early to expedite the process). SO anyways we sent back the checlist right away via overnight courier and it was received and in the system October 31st (i think thats what they said). So now we wait....We called in December and they rudely said January/February. So still have heard nothing so we emailed them this time (hoping to not have to hear the growling voice at the other end of the line) asking if they could please check the status of our case# (very politely of course). We got the response

Thank you for your email.

Correspondence will be sent shortly regarding the status of your file.

Regards,

IV unit

What does that mean???? Does it mean they're checking into it and will email us back with the status or does it mean...wait for an undetermined amount of time and we'll send you the letter in days...weeks...months...years??? So now we're kind of left with a decision...do we bother them again (and it definetly seems like a bother) to clarify what we should expect to be hearing and when? Or just sit here waiting...??

I'm just glad thier are others out there who are experiencing the same thing. I have checked through the listing of everyones timeline and the status of their case (feel free to add me if you'd like) but it seems strange that after October 4-5 they haven't scheduled anything else for anyone. I hope those interviews start getting pushed out soon , we'd really like to get this process moving.

Oh well wait and see. Good luck to you all, I hope things start moving along well for all of you!

CanadaWhat would it happen to my RRSP, RESP if I am no longer a Canadian resident?
QUOTE (jedinite @ Nov 15 2008, 02:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You are taxed on the entire amount of your RRSPs when you pull them out. The institution that holds your RRSP will automatically withhold a percentage (around 30%) for tax purposes I believe. Since RRSPs are a way of lowering your tax rate, you will pay on the interest you have earned on them plus the principle.

You will have to file this as current year income to the IRS but the amount that you paid for taxes already in Canada will be used towards your current year IRS tax filing. So if you paid 30% on your RRSP when you pulled it out to the CRA, and you owed 33% to the IRS the they would take your 30% you already paid to the CRA and give you a tax credit for it, and therefore you would owe an additional 3%. If you ended up paying 35% to the CRA and you owed the IRS 33%, then you wouldn't owe the IRS any additional money since the tax credit you would receive exceeds the taxes you owe. I do not believe that you can use the additional 2% tax credit against your US earned income, but you should check with your accountant.



Great info - we're actually doing this right now and would love some more details. My wife and I are living/working in the US and sold our remaining Canadian RRSP this year (2008). Right off the top we paid 25% non-resident tax. So that said do we have to report this sale on our US tax return? if so, can you tell us how and/or what forms we need to fill out?

Also - do you know if we have to do a Canadian tax return (we have no other canadian income, just this one RRSP sale)? If so, do you have any tips or advice on what we need to file or extra forms etc?

Thanks very much for your help

CanadaPacket 3: DS-230, Part 1. Questions 20 + 25.
Filling out the DS-230 for a K-1 Packet 3 response to the Montreal Embassy:

How detailed were your responses to question 20 and 25? See my concerns below.

---

Question 20 "List below all places you have lived for at least six months since reaching the age of 16, including places in your country of nationality. Begin with your present residence."

I lived in Scarborough during my childhood, but that has since been amalgamated into the City of Toronto... so Technically I've lived in Toronto all my life, just at various addresses (parents' house, University residence, apartments). Since there is no "address" column, is it sufficient to say I lived in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from my date of birth to present?

---

Question 25 "List dates of all previous visits to or residence in the United States"

Seems a bit ridiculous to have just 3 lines here. I've been to the States countless times throughout my my life (from single days to weeks at a time). What did you all do about this part?

Thanks in advance!

CanadaDS-160 -- necessary for K-1 appointment letter queue?
Just FYI -- I heard back from the Montreal Consulate and they said that I can send ahead the DS-230 part 1 and document checklist without completing the DS-160 first. So it's possible to send them out of sequence as long as you plan to do the DS-160 within a reasonable timeframe (I told them it would be ~7 days behind the rest of the stuff).

Thanks! I just renewed my passport and am picking it up on Dec 24th... I will email Montreal and find out if I should wait to send everything together. Will let you know what they say.

I would send them an email and ask. They responded to my email the next day I believe it was.

I have a feeling they need both forms, but I'm not positive.

CanadaDS-160 -- necessary for K-1 appointment letter queue?
Anyone out there know if the DS-160 electronic submission is required as part of "Step Three" of the K-1 Packet 3 checklist?

i.e., "Once we have received and processed the completed Form DS-230, Part 1, and your document checklist, we will send you an appointment letter... four to six months from receipt of this checklist..."

The reason I ask is that I'm about to send off my DS-230 and completed checklist -- but I just realized that my passport needs to be renewed so I can't submit the DS-160 until I get that done.

I can try to get a rush passport renewal tomorrow but it's gonna be tight cause I am traveling to see my Fiancee by air on Dec 26. So if anyone knows that I can safely wait to submit my DS-160 in mid-January while I go ahead and send the other packet 3 stuff now (caveat: without delaying my application a month)... please let me know!

Thanks in advance.

I left them a message with them yesterday (Dec 18) at 10:30am. They got back to me at 1:46 pm, same day. If you have caller ID the number will say "restricted".

Did anyone catch the cost of the medical? Their website says $185 but I thought I heard the receptionist say $181... but i was a bit distracted at the time of the call.

Can I do that then? Just send in the DS-230 and the checklist for now. And then fill out online the DS-160 in the next few days?


Yep, that's what I did. 'twas confirmed by the consulate as well (Montreal).

I also recommend sending your paperwork with XpressPost because you get a tracking number.

I put n/a for those. Canadians don't need visas to travel to the states for shopping/tourism/vacation (personal trips).

Unless you have US Visas in your current or previous passports this would not apply... someone correct me if I'm wrong!

Use Xpresspost so that you have a tracking number (i.e., you'll know when it arrives at their PO box). A little extra money for extra peace of mind.

CanadaThe best route to follow for a Canadian marrying an American
I'd just like to add something about timing: If you get married first you may have a harder time crossing the border (especially if you are together) unless you can prove intent to return. This is usually done in the form of a letter from your employer or a mortgage statement.

I have a friend who had a bad dose at the border because he was traveling with his wife (neither had status in the other's country yet and he did not have intent to return) and their passports got flagged. While you are engaged can just state that you are visiting friends (it's true) and you will probably not receive further questioning.

Personally, I chose the K-1 Fiance visa because I didn't want to go through all the planning and execution of a marriage only to return to Canada right away and wait for a year to get back together. With K-1 you stack all of your major milestones after the long waiting period, rather than having a big waiting period between marriage and reunion. Food for thought.

Which seems wrong to me, but I'm going to do that because in order to get a letter i have to make an appointment to see my Dr. and that is just a pain for me. So I hope she's right.

My one question: on the phone I was told to bring $275 cash... is this just so that I have enough to cover everything in case I need vaccinations (planning to get them in advance though)?

That is so weird -- they must have just raised their prices! I only paid $185 and that is what their website said in the "Exam Costs" section. I just checked it and the price has jumped up to $275 and it is even reflected on the webpage. Who knows why it went up 90 dollars -- the only thing I can think of is that new TB skin test mentioned earlier in this thread. If you find out why the price went up, let us know.

QUOTE (chris11xb @ Jan 19 2009, 10:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Bauser, I noticed they gave you an Xray. Did they say anything about the new TB skin test? ... I'm just curious if anyone going for their medical in recent weeks has had the TB skin test instead of the Xray, since USCIS is now switching over the requirements for the AOS phase. But it seems Canadians are continuing to have the Xray, so if that's what they want, so be it. I'm sure they're still sorting out what and how they are changing things.

Lori (and Chris)


They didn't mention a new TB skin test. If it does replace the x-ray one day, hopefully the medical goes faster for subsequent applicants... the x-ray requires too much waiting and the film is huge (no way it's fitting in the file folder I'm using for my interview documents).

What time did the folks with whom you left arrive? I think I'd rather get there later and leave later, as opposed to get there early and leave early.


I was near the front of the pack of the 2nd (and final) group of x-rays. There was one girl ahead of me who arrived around the same time as me (7:10) and about 4 people (including Empath, who said she arrived at 8:00) after me. Since I got out at 10:30, and there were 3 people ahead of Empath (who said she left at 12:00), it's safe to say that they all finished between 10:30 - 11:30.

So it looks like if you are in the 2nd group your wait time will likely be 3-4 hours (done between 10:30-12:00).

Canadapetition I130 approved, I am in US can I file for everything else from here?

Hi guys,

I am a Canadian citizen who married an American citizen last year in Montreal. we were together in Montreal for about 8 months and then decided to move to US. we packed our stuff and crossed the border. we had tickets to go to India for 4 months. we filed the I-130 in December. we came back from India to US in April and two weeks ago I recieved the approval for the I 130 petition. The case is now at the NVC. I called but the application is not in yet.
I am currently in US, ever sice we got back from India. Now, I know they will send the papers for me to follow to the canadian address I gave them (my brother's). But Is there any way I can follow up on the application from US? The only status I have now in US is a visitor, which I am entitled to stay for 6 months.
Can I follow up on everything from here or do I have to return to Canada and follow up from there? If I talk to NVC, will they change my address to US (my husband) and allow me to follow up everything from here?

Please help.

Hi there,
I have been reading about your experience and wondered if I could ask you a couple of questions as your case is kind of similar to mine. My husband and I (he's a USC) lived in Torontofor two years and we decided that we wanted to come to the US. We applied for our I130 petition in March2007 and since then my husband has moved to Florida. I'm here in Florida visiting with him and I'm still waiting for approval of my I130. Just wondering how your process is going? Did you go back to Canada?
Thanks....from a fellow Canadian

hello,
after reading trailmix's review i realise that i only have a sealed envelope from my medical...i had a chest x-ray done but they did not give me a separate envelope. what do i do? i'm not even in the same town right now that i had my medical done AND my interview is on Friday?
Please help me...

Hi Schmelle,

I have never read a review where anyone had to produce the x-ray - they said to my Husband, "just give me the medical without the x-ray".

I did read one review where the CO told the interviewee that he could tell everyone that it's not needed - anyway, I wouldn't worry about it good.gif

I mean I can call the hospital in Newfoundland and have them courier the copy to the consulate or even the hotel in montreal so it could potentially be there by tomorrow afternoon if i got it tomorrow morning. Do you think I should be crying my eyes out right now....i can't believe i messed this up.
