We used drivers licenses but I was surprised at how many people used their passports for an internal flight. And i commented to my husband when we were flying home that it was a good thing I hadn't used my passport.

They want government issued photo ID. So your Manitoba ID card will be fine.

Yeah, people just sort of started forgetting that passports aren't the only id that can be used on a domestic flight. Think I'll use that for all the domestic flights! Thanks for the help :)

Wow, so much progress today! Congratulations to all who have gotten their interview dates and case numbers!

We were travelling to see our grandparents for their golden anniversary, so we didn't get the chance to bug NVC today. =) But at last, they're giving out case numbers to April approvals. That must mean we're up soon!

I know that it's technically 7 years, but I wasn't sure if that was 7 years of INTERNATIONAL data or just for the country you live in. Thanks - it should all fit in my stuff, regardless :)

dust off yer scanner? scan all to pdf ? ;)

That's an amazing idea! Could space bag all my clothes into a hockey bag along with some other stuff and probably whittle down to ONE bag!!! Woot!!!!!

...omg. Just hit me - how sad is that, all of my stuff in one bag. Lol.

space bags rock. I bring many stuff of my wife's each return trip.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

so many options with the ds-3032, but

there's one option for emailing the form data (not the form) in a link back at post #1. can study again, logged in from a PC?

LOL...yeah, the scanner's a good idea...going to see if my roommate has one *sigh*...long day yesterday!

Space bags do rock! And they're not that expensive either. Maybe would have helped last time I sent Trav home - sent him with a suitcase full of my clothes, apparently security gave him some interesting looks LOL... :innocent:
