Your first post - what was it?

[Sprailenes 47]

hi everyone,

I am so happy I have found this place, and I wish I would have found it sooner because I have been reading it all day, and it has really calmed my nerves.

I have two questions and would appreciate any information as my interview is on Friday in Montreal.

I keep reading about an express post envelope and a specific size...how big does this envelope have to be?

Also my son is only 8 does he have to come with me to the interview? I have read different things for different countries. But do they have to attend if they are under 14 in Canada?

thank you very much.

Just joined this site a few days ago and already Ive found so much info.. My name is Kimm (Kimmbo) and I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada.. My husband Barry is the Canadian in our house..We met online 7 years ago...

I've already gone through the Canadian Immigration process (moved here 5 years ago), now we are wanting to move to the US together...I think we have all the paperwork gathered to get the process going.. still need to get pictures taken...

Just wondering if there are more Canadian/American couples here who lived together in Canada and then Immigrated to the US together...

Im making my way around the forums, trying to soak in as much info as possible.. so Im sure I will see alot of you around here.. and Im sure I will have a few more questions before we send anything in...

Well, I tried to go and get my first post and it returned an error message saying the forums are currently off line and they can't search. Grr.

I'm one of the old one's too. I'd guess that my first post had something to do with the fact that we hadn't gotten our NOA1 5 months after filing.

OR that I was trying to get my hubby down here for "the next year or so while I finish up grad school" back when I was young, innocent, and stupid

ok actually I wasn't that innocent

Here's Gene's and mine. I think he posted the first few ones, then I got into it...and the rest is history!

Gene’s first post 19 April 2006

Hi,

I'm a US citizen in St Louis and my fiance is in SK Canada.

We haven't yet submitted our initial K1 papers.

I'm wondering about travel back and forth by myself or her during the whole process?

Is any of it prohibited or discretionary?

I'm also wondering if I can travel to Canada by land and bring back her possesions in my vehicle?

Personal effects and some electronics. Is there a specific form?

This would be fairly soon, probably before our initial package is accepted.

Thanks and Good Luck to all of you already in the system,

Gene

My first post 05 June 2006

don't know anything about cruise departures from the U.S.A. or Canada, but we've been to Hawaii in June!

We were in Maui and my understanding is that the weather is pretty much the same all year round there. It was in the mid to high 80's. Humid. There was little air conditioning as well! Everywhere we went, I'd be complaining about the heat, and residents would say, "we have natural air conditioning, the ocean breeze!" Phoohey! Not cool enough for me... (I'm used to -40 degree winters)

LOL had to laugh reading my first post ,

March 28, 2007

Hello !

I have a question concerning the I-129f visa

I met my fiancé for real in august 2004 we applied for the I-129f visa in Vermont

I’m from Canada he is US citizen

we just got notice in mail saying it was received and its pending now

to check status on line , which we did , now on line it states that they are

processing applications received in sep 2006 before they can process any resent applications

my question is how long does a person have to wait before they can process applications received in march , when they just process applications from last sept 2006 ?

I did read here that many applicants who send the application to Vermont took

around 5 month from first send until they had the interview date ,

I mean that sounds great and relative fast

but am wondering how can the whole process take 5 month when the on line official US immigration site state they just review cases from last year ?

Any reply would be appreciated LonaD

Ps: here is the site for the process https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Proc...eviceCenter=VSC

Found this while I was reading my first post:

[MissStacey 1]

I'm too embarrassed to even look. I was such a mess trying to find out about immigration when we started. I was so clueless and I'm sure my first post is a doozy.

I'll be joining you on the sequel list in 18 months. But you'll be in the US Citizenship Forum by then.
