US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-407 sent to Toronto consulate

Hi there,

 

I sent in my green card along with form I-407 (abandonment of lpr status) to to consulate in Toronto. Just wondering if anyone else has done this and if they remember how long it took for the form to be processed/sent back. 

 

Thanks!

CanadaCVC Web Site 'Reschedule Appointment' Option
Hello! I've just a quick question regarding rescheduling an appointment on the CSC Visa Information Service web site (http://canada.usvisa-info.com/).

If I select the Reschedule Appointment option, does that automatically and immediately cancel the appointment I currently have? I just want to see if any spots have freed up with cancellations but I am slightly terrified I will click on that and lose my scheduled interview date.

Such a mundane question but their 'contact us' feature isn't available for questions of this nature. I'm hoping someone has had to click on this option!

Cheers!

CanadaPOE via Greyhound
Gah. I want to travel via Greyhound but then there's the high possibility of the bus leaving me behind while my visa is being processed. I don't blame them...there are other passengers afterall. Has anyone successfully entered via Greyhound (Windsor-Detroit Tunnel)?

I've considered trying to board the next bus that rolls through after explaining my situation, or buying an additional ticket from Toronto-Detroit and giving that to the driver of the next bus. Or walking a bit/catching a cab to the bus terminals.

I've been pestering Greyhound for answers but haven't heard back.

Canadians: You're welcome.
Americans: Uh huh.


this is possibly my biggest source of irritation here in the states.

CanadaPOE via Greyhound bus...
I successfully POE'd via the Greyhound (Windsor-Detroit). There was some heightened security that morning, though, so everyone was taking a while to be processed.

The officer was working her tail off to get my visa done quickly for me, and told other officers to make sure the bus didn't leave without me.

I was pretty worried about the bus leaving without me, so i had mapped out the route to get to the next bus station if need be (for walking or a cab). I am unsure as to how often the bus schedule is for your neck of the woods, but I asked Greyhound if I could just hop on board the next bus that comes along (if I was super delayed) and they said yes (but it is ultimately up to the driver ((I printed off an email from Greyhound saying I could so I could show it to the next driver)).

Shrug. I took the risk of crossing via Greyhound and it saved me 600$.

CanadaNumber to call to get Visa picked up in Ottawa?
how many phone numbers are options? i don't remember there being any other ottawa locations available except for the one in nepean (i would have picked something far closer to orleans if such were the case (?)). when i googled, i came up with 1-800-225-5345 as the number for DHL in nepean (on auriga drive)

Doubtful. I can't even use my original PayPal account that I set up in Canada (maintain Canadian bank account) to ship something to my American address.

CanadaOverwhelmed by Taxes
Soooo...

I'm a Canadian citizen who gained US residency through Marriage. I got my Greencard in October, but entered with my Fiancee visa in May.

I have not gained any income in the US, but I did work in Canada prior to enterring with my Visa. Wh-what do I do about taxes? It's April 14th and I'm thinking 'daaaaamn'.


Oh! I also am filing in Canada and have a Canadian address and all that jazz.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow long till after Visa did you run over the border?
i think it was about a month. i had initially planned for a mere two week wait, but looking back i definitely wouldn't have been able to get everything in order with that deadline. i was tying up loose ends until about an hour before i caught my bus :S

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA request for more info after interview?
Thank you for all the answers. I was really nervous about the process and was even considering rescheduling the interview for a later date because I was worried they'd want more than what I had. Your answers saved me from doing something as silly as all that...because I had my interview yesterday and they approved my visa. All that worry for nothing. Geez!

If during your K1 interview, the adjudicator decides that they require more information, will your visa flat-out be denied or is there an opportunity to get them the additional information? If there is an opportunity to get them this information, how is done? Do you mail in what they want and they contact you about coming in again or...?

Many thanks ^_^
