Karen,

I was wondering what had happened to you case. Your DF had his interview when my DH was originally scheduled.....Have you thought about contacting the Canadian Embassy here in the States? Maybe they could be more helpful if you were able to get a chance to explain your situation from this side. It's just a thought ....and it couldn't hurt to try.

Best of luck.

i called the canadian embassy here but all they could tell me was to try to apply for the police document from the royal mounted canadain police, but it willl take 150 days to do that, or longer, believe me i have tried, casa is being tough for this one, he has never gotten a visa to go to canada and they know that, they could easily get that from the canadian embassy, but want us to just hang there knowing well that the canadian embassy dont take calls to answer my questions, thanks for the thought anyway karen2705

I don't know a lot about this, and I'm no expert, but you may want to go ahead and order the documents as suggested to get a jump on the 150 days while you are pursuing other options. Just as a back up?

that is true except for the fact that it states that we need a letter from the canadian visa office requesting this from the RCMP, which we do not have they are not requesting it,and we need the applicants immigration file number from the canadian visa office that is processiing that application, another thing we dont have, so casa has us right where they want us, nohere, my angel thinks if i was there we could get what it is that we need from the canadian embassy , but i am working two jobs and dont have any time coming, or the money to fly there to fix this, i guess i will keep bugging my congressman, karen2705

Karen,

I wish you both all the luck. My computer is down at home so I hope to be able to check in here a few times this week from work to see what's going on.

Karen, thanks for explaining things to me.

It is strange that they want an RCMP certificate when he's never been to Canada. But if they insist, then you should just get one.

Here's the link to the RCMP site:

http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/crimrec/finger2_e.htm

When you apply for the police certificate, make sure you tell them it's for a US visa application. They might think he needs it for Canadian immigration. Since the site mentions that some Canadian consulates overseas may not have the facilities to do the fingerprinting, I would assume that they wouldn't be able to help you with the police certificate. You'll have to deal with the RCMP directly. Just make sure you are very clear why you need the police certificate. This way, they won't ask you for a letter from the Canadian visa office. You can send them the letter from the US consulate instead.

I hope that helps...

Karen, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. I wish I knew how to help. All I can say is to hang in there.

My fiance has actually been to 3 different countries so I guess we'd better get busy on getting police reports from them just in case.
