Canadacanadian debt collectors
I offered to make monthly payments but he said he could only accept the amount paid in full TODAY. :( and I called the credit card company and they said they wished they could settle with me but my account had already been sold off. :( I'm just feeling embarrassed and would like to make things right

Thanks. This made me feel way better. Harpa, you're right. Isn't it funny that when it comes to messing with our money it doesn't seem so measly does it? I mean for a big company who's probably pursueing huge debts like $20,000 it must seem measly. Nigeriaorbust: who did you report them to? I'd like to do that but I'm not sure the appropriate avenue.

 

Thanks again! :)

Canadacanadian debt collectors

Hi,

 

I need some advice. I'm losing sleep over this issue. I moved to USA 3 years ago on a work visa. circumstances arose in which I couldn't pay my canadian mastercard. I began receiving calls from mastercard but they stopped about a year ago. I've recently been married and am now a perm. resident. I received a phone call Friday from a debt collector saying that I owe them for the credit card debt ($3800) and that they can ganish my wages and sue me if I don't pay. he was a real jerk and made me very scared. He also said that they can report to american credit bureaus but I looked on the transunion and experian websites and they both said the canadian and american branches don't communicate. I guess my question is: can he really come after me here in the us for this money? Will they take money from my canadian bank account (I use it to pay my student loans)? And what is the likelihood that they will sue me here in the US over a measley $3800? Please help with any advice. My husband and my mom both say not to worry but I hate this stuff. We are not in a position to pay the lump sum and the debt collector says he won't accept monthly payments. :(

Well this is another thing....The NVC asked for her original birthcertificate.. and also the police certificate was submitted with other civil documents to uscis and NVC

like the marriage certificate, copy of passport ... so should I have more recent police certificate? and also what is this 1-134?? I don't know of this at all..

so far I payed the uscis fee.. also the IV fees and visa fee I belive as soon as the NVC process began. what is this other form? they paystubs and my last year tax return was sent with my affidavit of support (AOS which im waiting for tobe reviwed) this is second time I sent it in the first one I sent there was an RFE saying line 13.a.1 the gross total did not match my recent tax return (I was off by a a dollar and some cents) and also they asked for her origina birth cert which I sent.

She doesn't have her vaccination record so we are beginning work on that this week should she proceed with the medical as well or wait for final confirmation from NVC or consulate? so many questions so many worries.. thankyou guys in advance and sorry for all the pestering.

 

So you said this was your wife, so I am going to assume you aren't applying for a K-1 Visa.
Both of us are the going through the current K1 process, so we probably aren't the best to ask since your process is going to be different than ours. :/

 

Since you replied I thought you were doing the K1.  I apologize. 
I suggest searching through forms and maybe posting up a new thread?

 

Sorry I can't be of more help.  Good luck though!

Cool!! Best of luck to both of us! rose.gif

 

^_^ Everything will go smoothly alhamdullilah.

Please let me know when you get your appointment. :D

 

Hey guys my wife is in Bahrain I am currently waiting on NVC (sent them a corrected AOS on 30th) so waiting on 30 days of review ;/ praying it will be faster than that...this whole ordeal has really put both of our lives on hold so hoping it will be over soon..wishing you guys the best of luck.. keep us updated and if there's any tips on speeding this up or something I should have done before hand please let me know and exactly how long does Manama take to schedule interviews?

thanks in advance

 

I would say go ahead and get her police records and birth certificate ready.
It took my fiance awhile to get his police certificate, probably due to the holidays.
Also start collecting pay stubs and what not for your 1-134.
We went ahead and got this stuff done as soon as we got NOA2 and its helped speed everything up a good bit, at least on our side.


So far unsure about the interviews.

Their week runs Sun-Thurs so I may not have an answer for that until later this week.

I will for sure keep you updated though when we find out. 

Best of luck to you! ^_^

Hi dear! I had my medical yesterday. Will have one more vaccination this coming Saturday. I called American Mission Hospital a week before and had an appointment with authorized physician. I'm just waiting for my fiance's signed I-134 and after that I will pay the visa fee.

 

As per my understanding on the email sent to me, I'll just inform the embassy if I already have all the documents including medical. They will ask me to go there to bring these documents. Then I can pay the visa fee and they will schedule my interview. Did you receive a call from them yet?

 

Finally they sent us an email yesterday but it got into his spam so he didn't see it until I prodded him to double check. >_<

So everything is all together and apparently now just waiting on the final email/phone call. :D

Hi there! I too will be having my medical and interview here in Bahrain. I just received an email from the embassy that they received my papers from NVC, and instructing me to submit additional documents from Philippines, police certificates, and affidavit of support. I believe that this is the packet 3.

 

 

Hi! 

It's good to see another person going through the Manama embassy ^_^

We never received an email such as that but they did allow him to go ahead and do the medical and pay the interview fee already.

 

When he called them to make an appointment they said they will just call when they are ready for him. 

 

We have everything together so just waiting on that phone call I suppose.

 

You haven't done your medical yet, but I am wondering if they had you schedule an appointment or just had you do a walk in?  

 

His was a walk in and its starting to seem a bit strange to me for some reason.

Have you checked US embassy in Bahrain portal on VJ? They have some reviews there and you can also PM some VJers who already went through to this process.

 

http://www.visajourn...hp?cnty=Bahrain

 

I did in fact take a look at that and there are posts from this year.  I was hesitant to actually message them because, well its been a while since they finished their process and I figured they may not respond.

 

@ Jay-Kay My income does meet the requirements so I will leave those blank then. :3 Thank you.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPacket three?

Hey guys,

 

I have been looking through the forms for info about packet three and I've noticed that some people never receive it and to email the consulate, I believe, and get the information from it.

 

I checked our case status on the CEAC website and it says the case is Ready with the last status change being on 12/11/2013.

 

At this point should I still be waiting to expect to receive a packet 3 and if not, who should I be emailing to get the rest of the paperwork I need to do?

 

We've already gotten my I134 ready and my proof of income along with VOE letter and I've had him fill out the application that came with the letter from the NVC and are starting to get stuff ready for his medical while we wait for his appointment letter for his interview. 

 

Also a quick question on the I134, if you stated how much you have in your savings, did you provide a certified letter from your bank or no?

 

I checked with Bank of America and they are wanting $20 an hour for research with one hour minimum along with another fee.

That seems a bit painful in my opinion. :/

 

Thank you guys for your assistance! ^_^

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMoving

I don't think your case would be transferred to a different service centre, and I doubt it would be delayed by very long, if at all, but you would need to put in a request to change your address. There's an option to do it online: https://egov.uscis.g...i/go?action=coa if you are the USC. You'd need to make sure they had your new address in case the NOA2 is sent to the wrong address. The NOA2 hardcopy is needed for Adjustment of Status later on and there is an exorbitant fee for getting a replacement.

 

Thank you Kitthekat for the reply.

I was just curious and a little worried since it looks like I will be having to relocate.
Yay for a better paying job though. ^_^

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMoving

We still have yet to receive our NOA2, but I found out today that there is a chance I could be moving from Texas to Arizona
I am wondering what kind effect this could have on our K-1 process.

Could it delay it and would it move it to a difference processing office or would it still be the one in Texas?

 

Thanks guys!
