CanadaTax Transcripts
Well the IRS sends it through fax when needed so I believe a fax copy will do for them.

CanadaTax Transcripts
does he have his 2009 tax return? maybe he could email it to you? I know that we did ours online and you can print it out through the site you used. Or even if he had it professional done, he could maybe scan and email it to you? or fax it to you?

or get IRS to fax the 2009 paperwork to him and then get him to scan it and email it or fax it to you.

to my knowledge they are definitely going to want to see the 2009 tax transcript or tax return

CanadaMissing a Document
Oh yeah i totally forgot about that, Get him to go to the nearest Irs and get it printed out right there. :) There are usually Irs places everywhere or maybe that is just in my mind :) Don't stress about it, stressing will only cause you grief,confusion and mental pain lol, worse case scenario you are approved with "information requested", However If he can get down to an Irs building or get them to fax the paperwork(first is usually easier), then your back in business. Good luck :P

CanadaTwo Questions in advance
Ok, so I am still waiting for an interview date like everyone else seems to be right now, We will get one soon guys! :)
However I am having problems sleeping already haha I over think things sometimes, so here is my questions. 1) Has anyone brought anyone to the interview such a a Canadian mother,aunt,brother or anything? I have a four year old son who is going to be bored to tears (as most kids are) and would like to know if anyone can come into the embassy with me to help me with my son (also are we allowed to bring any toys with us?) 2) I have read before that you are not allowed to bring backpacks into the embassy or any big bags, At the moment I have far too much "paperwork" 3-13 pocket expanding file folders,3 small photo albums and 2 document holders. Now I know I am not going to need or be able to bring it all, but what is the average amount of stuff people bring? One file folder and a couple albums? any advice on either of the two?

Canadacanadian credit score in us ??
I was talking to a Realtor the other day and was told that most the times the background/credit check will INCLUDE your CND score. Which sucks cause I dont have good credit, between my parents not paying bills that were in my name cause their credit sucked(should have known better). then a stupid gym membership that was "cancelled" but continued to be taken out of my account which in turn made me in debt with my bank (which was my fault however it was a cancelled membership and yes i did call the gym and got the damn run around etc, banks fault for not closing the damn account when I told them too though!
I would like to be able to start over in the states with new credit :)

Canadaquestions re: medical
Because she is not most women. There are horror stories to everything and from what I can tell she doesn't want to risk any complications just because montreal is slow and mtl didn't think of her.she may have the baby before hand who knows seems like she wants to see what happens. :P
CanadiandggalFemaleCanada2010-09-03 21:16:00
Canadaquestions re: medical
Hey MTL Send the medical Place an email or give them a quick call. I think the medical is good for a year too, but you might need to get the MMR after you give birth. Give them a shout and I am sure they will be able to give you all the information you are seeking :P

CanadaNeed references for Babysitting services in Toronto
I too do not know many places in toronto for childcare, although there are a lot. My mom is a childcare provider she watchs a child in the families home 5 days a week and might be up for a extra evening of work. Are you planning on staying at a hotel? If so are you looking for someone to come to you? what date are you looking for? I understand wanting a babysitter for an evening as sometimes its nice to see the "night Life".
Let me know.
CanadiandggalFemaleCanada2010-09-06 11:23:00
Canadaplz need opinions
The fact that you got through sounds awesome hehe.
Yes most people bring a whole lot of ties to canada but it does all depend on the officer that you get. I have passed through to the states to visit my husband on multiple times and only once Have I been put in secondary and Only twice have I been asked for any Information/documentation. I think the one thing that prob made you look "suspicious was the one way ticket and 100 pound luggage" even when I have been in the states for 2 months I bring a 25lb suitcase that has mine and my sons stuff in it. I don't think that it should effect your visits to the states in the future though, however I would want a second opinion as I dont know for sure. But it is always worth a try and the worst case you get sent home. I also know that being denied entry will NOT effect your visa :)

Canadawhos In Maryland/washington?Northern Va
Ok who wants to receive my GC in the mail??? anyone hmmm? haha
Last weekend My husband and I had a hardcore fallout with his father/step mother.I have to mention that we don't hear from them much as it is but now my husband has decided he will NOT talk to them unless they call here and say sorry. Unfortunately that is where my "GC" is suppose to be sent on my ds-230, however I am updating the Ds-230 Before I got to the interview as My Canadian address has changed, my husbands job has changed etc. SO I am just sitting here thinking about who's address I am going to use as Our lease In Williamsport Md is up as of November and WE will be looking to move by then (as long as i get a interview date soon)I really just have to figure out what family member of his I can send it to but the closest person IS his mom In AZ. This is why I wanted a house before the interview :wacko:

A tad too expensive for us right now. Maybe for us forever hehe they start at 1200 for a studio. I need more like a 2-3 Bedroom and well 2000 dollars a month without utilities is a little too much for my likings. I would like to eat at some point :)

Yes he is lol, bought a 3 hour drive there and back, but he also works at different locations so he goes to the office in Herndon then ends up at falls church, or Alexandria, even Waldorf one day. I cannot wait to live in Northern Virgina almost everywhere is nice except ummm leesburg we went to see some "apartments" in leesburg and well its just not the place for raising children or atleast not what I saw.

To be honest we don't really know yet, We looked at a few houses In "the meadows of chantilly" but I would like to own my house and the land. Although I have never seen a "mobile home" community look so nice and they insides are gorgous but its not worth the money monthly.
We are looking in different areas as well, My husband is working in Herndon VA so we are trying to get closer to there as he is 1.5 hour with no traffic to work.

CanadaK1 Visa Entry... Can I get an American Drivers Licence?
This is what I found when I googled it, however This could be incorrect so I suggest you give them a quick call when you get to alabama :)

NEW RESIDENTS

Alabama residents holding a driver's license from another state may also need to pass the three tests. The written and/or driving tests may be waived at the discretion of the examiner. However, like other applicants, new residents must provide proof of identification, the out of state license and your social security card.

Non-US citizens residing in Alabama may apply for an Alabama driver's license, as long as they can provide proof that they are legally authorized to be in the United States and meet all the other requirements. However for the first year they can drive with a foreign driver's license and an international permit.
[edit] FEES

The cost for a non-commercial Alabama driver's license is $23 and the testing fee is $5.
[edit] VALIDITY

The validity of an Alabama driver's license is 4 years from the date of issue. Licenses that are renewed after the date of expiry are valid for only three years.

AND here is the info on what Documents they say they want :) Click linkage

CanadaDS-230
sorry back again. OP is asking about emailing paperwork therefor she is doing EP. However I cannot help out with this question as I dont know the answer. I would think that as long as you have paid both the ds-230 and the aos fees then it shouldnt matter what paperwork you send in first. I did send in the Aos first then the ds-230 packet and had some time in between. I am sure someone else can answer your question better :) I would include your citizenship paperwork just to be on the safe side.
good luck

CanadaDS-230
Uhhhh?? If this person is canadian and Is doing a spousal visa then the only place it is done at is montreal! Vancouver only does fiancee/ K-1 visas :)
so it could be EP
CanadiandggalFemaleCanada2010-09-11 21:04:00
CanadaElectronic processing? Should we or not??
I suggest EP, But I also suggest that you get all the paperwork ready now. Then do what I did, I scanned all the paperwork and put together the aos and ds230 packet in the emails then saved it as a draft. when I finally was able to send the packets, all I had to do was click send.
Doing Ep can be done in less then a month if you get on the ball with it, If I could go back and do it all over I would have done draft emails for everything.
Just make sure to call send the optin email and ds3032 as soon as possible then keep an eye out for the AOS and IV fee bill pay that and add the payment sheet to the email and click send. Then you wait for case complete..easy as pie :P
CanadiandggalFemaleCanada2010-09-13 14:38:00
CanadaHow to opt in electronic processing
I sent the email as soon as i gave my email addresses to NVC..no i didnt get the ds3032 kit before hand.
