CanadaLocal Police Certificate or RCMP?
Hi,

I'm very confused about which one to get. On one hand I read that RCMP is better because it's a Canada Wide search (and it avoids the 3 municipal checks I would need)but requires fingerprinting first, then application for a criminal check. When I called the 613-998-6362 number and they say there is a 150 day wait time on Criminal Checks (and I KNOW I don't even have a criminal record),

On the other hand, I look @ Toronto's Police Services and they use the same database as the RCMP and they DON'T require fingerprints, of course they also don't state how long it will take for the criminal check.

So which service do I use that will take the least amount of time? I'm 3 months away from my wedding date!

Thank you,

Africa: Sub-SaharanI need your help
Hi :) I know this is an OFF TOPIC question, but it's very specific to Africa.

I'm working with a bunch of young children, and I want to have them learn a bit about Africa. Do you know of any information/websites, etc? I'm looking for simple games I can teach them, stories like folk tales and fables, even dance or music. If you have ideas that I haven't thought of, please don't hesitate, bring it on :yes:

Thanks,
Daisy

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat will come in packet 3 from Montreal?and question about Police certificates.
She has to go to the RCMP. They will run her name for the whole of Canada. Do not go through the provincial police.

:guides: There should be examples of forms there that she will probably get.

I agree with Lorelle, you are starting over again, basically and instead of filing the fiance visa it is now the spousal visa. I don't believe you NEED a lawyer just because you are refiling.

OMG I just spent 2 days pouring over emails, phone bills, and online banking records trying to figure out when I travelled back and forth to Canada.

I've got 2 trips that I don't know what days I travelled - I'm going to guess the best I can, and hope like hell that it's not enough to deport me!

Hey!
I've been reading the pinned threads etc. Am I understanding this right? We only have to submit copies of the tax forms? No other proof of relationship with the N400 application?

That seems too easy...

US Citizenship General DiscussionChange in willingness to bear arms ...
To the OP, I have thought a great deal about the original and the oath question. I don't see how my feelings and beliefs will change.



Regardless of my thoughts on guns, my answer will always be the same:


If I was required by law to bear arms, I would, but I would be scared to death and therefore be of no use to anyone.

US Citizenship General DiscussionMy interview is tomorrow!
The office was so crowded that there's no way to tell if hubby was there without asking. So I'm really glad he stayed away.

It's all done, I'm a citizen!

Other than the waiting, waiting, waiting, it was relatively painless - officer was jovial, chatty. He was confident that I would pass.

I'm posting separately in the Forum about Newark experience, because Oath ceremony is the same day. Posted Image

Now I have to get my passport expedited!

Wishing everyone still waiting a painless, speedy process!

Thank you everyone for best wishes and great advice!

I've gotta work late tomorrow night, but will post results as soon as I can.

Cheers!

Hi,
I'm getting nervous, but I think I'm as prepared as I can be.
- all my ID is ready
- all my tax forms, proof of life documents etc. are ready
- I've practiced the questions - I still get mixed up on a few
- My clothes are ready to go - I'm wearing a work logo shirt because I have to go to a meeting tomorrow night
- Hubby isn't going

Any suggestions?

daisy16Not TellingCanada2011-06-28 03:12:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionInterview Experience in Newark
Hi,
I want to give a run thru of my day so that anyone going thru Newark knows what to expect.

Appointment was 9:40 so I got there half hour early. Place was packed. I'll bet people got there early. No numbering system, so I'm not sure if they took first come first served, or went by time. That was annoying and made the waiting harder.

I waited for 2 hours - It was really hard because at the time I didn't know the difference why, some people were called to go through the door, and others were called to the window - some even left after the window chat. Officer told me later that they were really unusually busy and sorry about the wait.

I finally got into interview at 11:15.

Officer put me at my ease, chatting a bit, explained a few things. He knew I was nervous.

He said I had a choice - make an appointment for August to have my Oath ceremony, or have it today (there are oath ceremonies 3 times a day, every day - 11:30, 2:30, 4:30). Keep in mind that I had to give up my Green Card. If you plan to travel before getting your passport - you can get stuck outside of the country! ARGGGGH! I had to make my decision before leaving his office.

Anyway, the interview itself was nothing different than what everyone else has posted - read/write sentence, 6-10 questions, review of application, sign a bunch of things.

The questions are standard lists and don't change much.
- who is the governor
- something with George Washington as the answer
- what must a citizen do (obey the laws)
- where is the statue of liberty
- name 2 holidays
- the question about the 4 amendments about who can vote
(Sorry, I may have forgotten one - a couple of these are the ones I kept forgetting while I practiced Posted Image)

He gave me a paper review of my interview that said which parts I passed.

He gave me a questionnaire - this has to be filled out prior to the Oath Ceremony - not a big deal for Newark because the ceremony is the same day. It might be harder for those who have to do it separately. I didn't really read it but it asks questions like if you've traveled since the interview, gotten married, or in trouble with the law, etc. Obviously I answered no!

It was about 20 minutes, with all the chatting.

After, I had to hang around and wait until they called my name. When they call your name to the window, they take the paper and give you the white package of information about citizenship responsibilities, etc. Also, you sign 2 copies of your certificate of naturalization, which they give you at the oath ceremony.

About 11:45, all the people who were waiting and ready for the first ceremony left.

About noon, they "closed" for lunch - everyone waiting for paperwork could leave, those who were waiting for interviews had to stay.Back at 1.
At one, everything started up again.

They called my name.



About 2:45 everyone was invited to the oath ceremony - about 60-70 of us. Oath takers up front, visitors sit in back.

Saw a video. Told us all about traveling, passport, don't lose the certificate, etc.

Did the oath - the people doing it were average workers, no one special like a judge or anything.

President Obama sent us a recorded message
(can't remember the order here, sorry).

Said the Pledge of Allegiance.

Lots of clapping - everyone was tired.

Called our names for the certificates.

And then we took pictures.


I'm glad I went through Newark - I work there so I just walked from my office over. But the oath ceremony is done so that I don't ever have to go back!

good luck to you as you go through this visa journey.

For those trying to add your info, just follow the instructions. Click the reply button on my entry (it should be above this) and you will get the screen with all the instructions.

I don't know how important it is, but I deleted the first line and the last with the codes like it says to.

Also, they mailed my NOA on 03/03/11 - no idea when I got it.

Good luck to all the Marchies!

CanadaAdvance Parole
Please be careful with the information you get ANYWHERE. Here on VJ, from the border people, from the embassy.

Unless the person answering the phone is the one you have to deal with in the situation you are describing, you may face difficulty. For example, the border guard you spoke to may have seen the forms he spoke of, but in actuality the guard you see may not and deny you. Many times people call the info line and get wrong information. I have called them twice on the same day with the same question and gotten different answers.

CanadaHELP!
approveme, If you go to Toronto you can get it next day or in 2 days, I can't remember.

Basically you go down to the offices early. Super early, like an hour or so before they open. Sorry, I can't remember what time that is either. :o Anyhow, they take about 200 people a day, they process your application and you pay double I think, and then go back in a day or so to pick it up.

Other option is to go through the feared Thunder Bay. Someone said ordering stuff online is faster, so you might try that.

Why don't you call their parent company here in the US? They may have some suggestions for you, like transferring the loan to the US company?

CanadaWhats up with Men's team Canada hockey team??
Huge curling fan here. I yell and cheer the way people do for hockey! :no:

I saw the Canadian women beat the US early one morning last week. Great game. Saw the men beat the US last week. They weren't playing so well.

Agree so much that the European men's hockey teams have more to gain from the Olympics than our professional players. It's a shame. :wacko:

CanadaQuestion for the Canadian Ladies!

CanadaQuestion for the Canadian Ladies!
This response was a little harsh, ya think! :(

I've found that depending on the location, it could be drafty. So even if the heat is on, you could get blasted with cold air. Make sure that you're going to be comfortable. Layers are good. I always try for something with a jacket or pretty shawl so that I can wear it if necessary. A dressy pant suit is fine too.

Is this a family wedding? Can you also ask a female relative how dressy they will dress?

If you get cold, get your boogy on :yes:

In general, we wear our igloo muck wear..

####### kind of question is this.. think about it, when its cold out you are inside. Its 75 freaking degrees inside. You want to wear leggings under your gown when it is 75 degrees?

CanadaCan my fiance enter US while K-1 is in process?
Yes, I too crossed successfully twice while the K1 is in process. However, not everyone does. Lots of evidence proving the need to return are required, such as a letter from the employer. And don't take lots of stuff across! A Uhaul truck might make them suspicious! :P

CanadaRCMP record check
You don't need to wait for the packet 3, just go and tell them that it's for immigration. You can show a copy of an approval notice, etc.

Also, just go to the RCMP. NOT local or provincial coppers.
