Oh, I think Im gonna sob again ! Just......CONGRATULATIONS much happiness for your future together!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

wee hooo!!! Congrads!!

the mailman delivered my passport/visa package to the WRONG address!!! Thankfully the Ambulance Office (GAH!) didn't just send it back - but they called me and said - we opened your package and realized it's not our mail!!! THANKFULLY they didn't open the "do not open" envelope.. I woulda been sunk then! I walked down the street (a block) and got the pre-opened package :P

OMG That's crazy!!!

Good thing they didn't open the DO NOT OPEN one huh!!!

I don't know exactly but it's more than likely your entire petition from start to finish, medical, everything.

It's for the POE officer to open, you have to hand it over to him/her.

Your passport is separate and inside it is the K1 visa! it's pretty cool.

I have phoned up Canada post about the NO signature. They in turn contacted Mtl Consulate and they all want to make it right. So YOU are to mail back the passport with visa to Mtl ASAP. Mtl will cancel the visa, and ur to start back at square 1! They promised next time --in approx 9 months--they will ask for a signature!!

congrats

Okay Flames...I just mailed it back....

Congrats Laura! Now you can feel safe and sound and not stressed. :)

We saw what was in the Do Not Open envelope when we activated Scott's visa. It is indeed a copy of the whole thing, start to finish. Kind of interesting that all that work fits in one relatively small envelope.
