kool. we have a good amount but not a drastic amount becuz were not picture ppl but we do have picx thru out our 2 years, and pics from holidays with her family members

about what u said about start takin picx, I dont recommend no one to do that becuz i just read somewhere of a couple being denied because they had tons a pictures that they apparently took a few days b4 the interview and the officer picked up on it because the wife's hair style/color/length didnt change once through out the photos and they were claimin that some of th epics were taken years ago. lol

Ha! I never even thought of that! Lucky I'm nobody's lawyer, huh? :P Though I wouldn't think it's a good idea pretending photos from last week are three years old, lol. "Oh yes, I had that same zit in that same place back then! Funny, isn't it?" :lol: I think some people really don't consider just how many couples IOs see every day.

But yeah, I wouldn't worry. We're not picture people either. There are only a few photos of him with my family at Christmas and Easter. And our families haven't even met yet!

I was arrested like 3 times when i was 14,15,16 so long ago but i was never charged with anything so does that mean i have to bring something saying i wasn't charged with anything. 2 of them were for underage drinking so there not big deals just stupid kid stuff. I don't want this to reflect on me now considering clearly i am not the same person i was when i was a teenager my nickname now is mother teresa lol. what do i do :wacko:

I don't think something like underage drinking is going to be a huge issue for them. I mean, I can't imagine they would hold it against you. The best thing to do is get a copy of the statements (I don't know how to do that, maybe call the police station the officer was stationed out of and ask them??) and bring to the interview. See if they ask for them. Just to have them and be able to make light of it, like "Oh I was with a wild group of kids when I was 14 but once I got a bit older I settled down." Either way they can probably find that information out pretty easily so it's better coming from you. I'd say they're mostly trying to weed out things like violent crimes or people with a history of serious or semi-serious offences. Practically everyone has knocked back a few beers underage. ;)

Congrats on the interview letter! :dance:

Haha!! Yeah the only thing though is under Canadian law those were erased when i turned 18 so technically i have no criminal record because they are sealed so i don't know. I am so nervous about it. Did everyone get that letter attached to there interview letter? Yeah i was never charged or ticketed or anything just the drunk tank lol. Sounds so funny to me now!

if the record is sealed then u will need jus a normal police criminal search statin that no record was found. I had to do the samething but my misdermainor happened here in the US so it was easy for me to just go to the county and pay 5 dollars for a search.

Yeah it is mother teresa because i always yap at my husband and brother in-law not to speed and am afraid if i take a water bottle in the grocery store without paying for it first i get paranoid that they think i am stealing it lol.

Yeah i was kind of hoping the interview would be sooner but oh well it gives my mom time to send me pictures and stuff i have at home. I am nervous about the interview too. I am glad it is at 10:30am because i am not a morning person and i would just be in another world.

yea i sent a writing statement that I was arrested and the I was never charged and the record was seal, along with a record search stating that nothing was found. I am sooooo happy this didnt affect be getting a job becuz when I was arrested I was finger printed and for the banking job I just got I had to get finger printed so I was 100% something would show it although I had it sealed...but I guess not.

If the lady can send you something, it would be best to carry something to state no record was found, just to be on the safe side because it does say that at the bottom of the appointment letter. If you cant get it dont worry about, just dont let them know, its not big deal becuz u was a juvenile plus it wasnt here so they cant possibly find out about it.
