For the other Canadians out there who filed using EP: I finally got my confirmation email today! 31 days after we sent it in. Our scan date is January 26, 1 day after we submitted because we submitted on a Sunday night. Woohoo!! Sort of made the waiting worth it, as now we are halfway through the 60 days! :dancing:

OMG This just made my day/week/month! That is awesome news!! I'm sooo happy for you and glad to know that they do send out emails still! Thanks for posting!

Since im a student and i only work part time. So my total work hour per week is different each quarter. So when i ask for employment letter. My employer can only states the wage per hour. No annual income. So i do i put it on my i-864? Should i just put ot as $/hour?

use the above tool to calculate your annual salary based on hourly salary.

then, enter that amount in i-864

I left it blank, I felt like putting 00 would confuse those NVC people, or I don't know what I was thinking, now I regret it. If I do get a checklist because of this, I swear I won't re-submit anything lol, I don't want the visa anymore.

Thanks for sharing a great calculating tool. However, I work only 12hr/week right now. And my next quarter will pretty much depend on my class schedule. So i dont know how to calculate it because i dont know how many hour i would work naxt quarter. Can I just calculate it using pay rate * current 12hr/week * 10 weeks/quarter * 3 quarter/yr? Then i will just write an explanation letter for my situation? Any suggestion?

annual salary is based on what you make now and it is an estimation...so, I would suggest not to complicate and just estimate your annual salary based on hourly salary as if you are going to work full time...Then, include an employment letter with hourly wage details to support your calculated number.

Current annual income is based off of what you are making currently. Since you have no way to predict your class schedule and work hours in future just simplify it to :

Current hourly rate * 12 hours per week * 52 weeks = current annual income

Still attach this explanation or support for whatever number you place on the form. I did so on my cover letter.

Yup day 34 for me.....pure torture lol. At least at the beginning of NVC I could distract myself with all the prep, research, etc. Waiting with nothing to do is tough.

Good luck to you :)
