Don't wanna leave the Canada Forum for AoS...

[July09Bride 1]

I KNOW we're supposed to go to the AoS forum for questions, but do we really have tooooo?????

I'm afraid that answers in there won't be as clear or the people not as nice or someone will give me bad information... everything here is safe and wonderful!!!!!

My fiance was asking a couple of questions about what we need to do for his AoS and I ventured in there to get some answers for him... that put me almost on brain overload.

Guess I'll just have to pick another time wander in there when I've got more time and not quite so sheepish about going out into another area.

I fully intend on asking all of my Canadian forum friends my ridiculous AOS questions when the time comes. I've been looking into the process a little here and there, but I'm trying to restrain myself until after I have the interview done and over with. I don't want immigration information overload! Overall, the process looks fairly simple. The only annoying thing is that medical form I-693 you need to get a civil surgeon to fill out...

Well, I was fine with NOT doing anything until he asked a couple of random questions and I didn't know the answers! Something about more "proof" and forms and what all is needed this time around. OMG, I could've knocked him in the head. I JUST got back to "normal" and stopped worrying about paperwork and he has to go off and ask questions. *sigh* Oh, well!

Trust me, I fully plan on asking for opinions in the Canadian forum too...

You can ask questions wherever you want. The question is, will your thread be moved.... Ask your technical questions over there, then rush right back to join in the posts here! Actually if you're good at "research" here on VJ, you might only have one or two questions at most on the AOS process.

If you gratuitously put the word "Canada" in the title enough times, sometimes that keeps a thread in here.

Also, I found with both AOS and the K1, looking at the process for the first time it always seemed daunting, but it really doesn't take that much time reading the guides and other people's threads before it starts to seem much more manageable. It was a little frustrating to feel like we were newbies all over again when we shifted into AOS.

Yeah, too funny! We are too polite here in the Canada Forum sometimes.

lol Yeah I'm doing the same thing hugglebuggles. My petition hasn't even made it Canada and I'm like well since K1 is done all I'm waiting for is my police report to show and oh I don't know a packet 3 to fax back I'll start researching. I bought a new pretty (pink this time) file folder. Created a to do list for myself and wrote up a little fact sheet. BUT then I got nervous because what happens if I get denied...I would have done all this for nothing until we get approved. And yes, I know the odds of actually being denied are slim but its still a fear.

I didn't do the medical form the civil surgeon needs to fill out and got approved without an RFE.... I did attach a letter to my vaccination worksheet stating that all of my vaccines were up to date, etc. I could show you a copy if you want when it's your time.

And regarding AOS questions: I never posted in the AOS forum either whenever I had q's I posted in the good ol Canada forum where I knew I'd get trusty answers from my peeps! You'll be all good here!

I know what you mean about overload, I refused to even read about AOS until I got here.... my brain could only handle so much at a time! So once I got here, married, took a deep breath and began researching!

You don't need more "proof" for AOS, that is when you send in the package! All you need is the marriage cert. If you get called for an interview, yes you need proof to bring to the interview of course.

I heard that a lot of people have got away with not sending in an I-693 but my vaccinations aren't up to date. When I had the medical done I only had 1 of the 3 Gardisil shots done, so I'm thinking that just sending in the old vaccination worksheet really wouldn't cut it. I have since received the second shot, and I'm planning on getting the 3rd in July, so I will be able to prove I had them done. I wonder if sending in my old worksheet with evidence I got the other 2 shots done attached to it would be fine... I don't know. I'm thinking I should just bite the bullet and have it filled out after the wedding and save myself from getting an RFE!

I'm in the same position Huggles - I only have 2 of the 3 Gardisil shots listed on my worksheet from Dr. Seiden's but I'm getting the 3rd in May before I move... so it would be missing 1. I'm going to get a letter from my Dr. and then send it all to Dr. Arnold to process for me. It's not that expensive and worth the small expense to avoid an RFE... because I think we would get an RFE as it's technically an imcomplete series.
