I already have it. But they only have so many fonts and there is a type of font that I need and I don't know how to dl more fonts for openoffice.


Then you're missing a font, since fonts are system dependent, not application dependent.

What font are you looking for? Also what operating system are you using?

I think it's a grey area really. You don't really know unless you test on people right? And you wouldn't really be able to tell unless it's a long clinical trial which I don't think they did. As for other reports, I would not trust any report that came from Monsanto.

Anyway, rent The Corporation as they go into some of the health concerns surrounding rBGH. And can I just say the filmmakers are Canadian. :)

I don't consume any dairy or dairy products but even if I did, I certainly wouldn't be consuming any here.

Note that rBGH is banned in Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

CanadaI want to go back

Yeah. There is no other reason I would leave my beautiful, prosperous country other than love. I would hope that USCIS understands that but...


Seriously! I was so tempted to say at my K3 interview, "Listen, I don't even want to live in the U.S. except for my husband, 'kay?" :P

CanadaI want to go back
Anyway, yes, lots of Canadians here do plan on going back after awhile (usually after they receive their U.S. citizenship). I know that's our plan!

Right now it made more sense for my husband's career here. Nope, not financially speaking but because he's only licensed in the U.S. I made way more money in Canada with my one income alone. With my skillset I can work anywhere, but he can't so... for now, we're here.

EXACTLY!!! If you live here, you can DCF and hopefully it will go quicker!
:time:


She can't yet... she hasn't been granted PR status yet (still pending with CIC). But she can certainly still file the I-130 (and I-129F if she's doing K3) now.

Actually, I wonder if the U.S. consulates would allow a pending PR to file DCF...

I can certainly understand your frustration... I think there are some of us that have experienced the same thing here in the U.S. that you did in Canada... waiting, namechecks, bureaucracy SNAFUs... I hope you and your husband will be happier after you move as well. Don't forget that you can start the petition process now. No need to get a job first (the affadavit of support will come later).

CanadaHow do you know which POE's you can use to activate a visa?
You're welcome! I always stapled my boss' business card on it and he always supplied his personal cell number in case they wanted to call him. I always just wrote up the letter and said, "sign here". He'd furrow his brow and say, "you're taking MORE vacation time?" :P

If you are moving in with a friend, consider getting rent receipts from your friend to bring with you as well since you won't have a lease (most likely).

CanadaIR-1 Pending, visiting USA

I thought that Canadians who have visa applications in process could only visit for 90 days out of every 180 (unless otherwise indicated by the officer, obviously). Is it actually 6 months out of every year? Because if that's the case, my husband can probably stay here until we hear about his interview rather than having to go home in October. And that would make us both very happy.


I haven't seen anything to that effect.

I do know that if a CBP officer doesn't give you an end date to your visit, you can stay up to 6 months on that particular visit as a Canadian citizen.
misaFemaleCanada2007-08-02 23:18:00
CanadaIR-1 Pending, visiting USA
Unless otherwise indicated by the officer, when Canadians enter the U.S., they can stay for up to 6 months on that visit.

I couldn't find any hard and fast rule regarding accuring time and when that starts, resets, etc., but did find this on the CBP site:

There is no set period of time Canadians must wait to re-enter the U.S. after the end of their stay, but if it appears to the CBP officer that the person applying for entry is spending more time over-all in the U.S. than in Canada, it will be up to the traveler to prove to the officer that they are not de-facto U.S. residents. One of the ways to do this is demonstrate significant ties to their home country, including proof of employment, residency, etc.

A few days? Tell her not to sweat it. I was thinking like a full reporting period or something. :)

CanadaTravelling to US on a mini-vacation while collecting EI?
It's no problem at all but technically she's not "willing and able" to work during that time, so she should mark it down as such. On the cards it's a yes or no question and if the answer is no, there's a place to write down why. She just won't get money for that period depending on how long she's on vacation for.

CanadaMESSAGE FOR ALL ABOUT DANGERS

Please, please, please ensure that your lawyer knows something about immigration! I don't mean to increase your anxiety, but 'just a misdemeanor' doesn't necessarily mean 'not a problem for an immigrant.' Even just a consult with an immigration attorney might be advisable here.


Quoted for emphasis since she's not an LPR yet or even filed for AOS.

CanadaChild issues at border?
Hypothetically speaking, if someone's child's long form birth certificate lists the father as "unknown", it's safe to say that no letter or anything else is necessary, yes? Just trying to think outside of the box here. I don't have any kids but maybe there is someone reading who would be in that situation (father not listed on BC for whatever reason & father not involved in child's life at all).

i am not going to continue to petitioning him but my question that will the (CIC) tell (USCIS) about the polygamy i m sure he wrote that was single when he got married from the canadian one....


Then you definitely want to contact USCIS to pull your petition. CIC doesn't really talk to USCIS as far as I know. You will want to contact CIC as well (I would).

Good luck! And sorry to hear that things turned out so... awful.

They may find out on their own and they may not. However you SHOULD inform at least USCIS (and CIC if you decide to) because at this point you are knowingly petitioning for a polygamist (if you are not pulling your petition).
