Due to I-601 are the following required

[Ron/Sharon 0]

Due to the time that will be needed to do the I-601 both may have expired, will it be necessary to have both done again as at least one the medical will be needed for the AOS in perhaps mid 2008 if everything goes well. I am sure that it will be now that I have written this out and I don't like it very much since it will be an added expense which seems to be growing daily.

I-601 = $545.00 u.s.

Medical = $310.00 cdn plus aprox. 2 months of waiting.

RCMP = $85.00 cdn aprox. plus X months of waiting.

New trip to Montreal $150.00 cdn + $100.00 u.s.

I just needed to write this out for my own peace of mind since it is obvious that the above is necessary. Thanks

Hi Ron and sharon , hope you guys doin ok

I have a question cant you use the same medical you just had for the interview ? ( cose 310 is expensive I paid 210 for mine in MTL , maybe you can hold off redoing the medical maybe theyr able to clear you with the one you just had ? I understand the medical is good for 1 year , but I think you will get this aproved before since they seen your medical came back clean and so was your police certificate , would sure save you lots of headach and some cash I hope you wont need to do them again , Lona

Hi Lona, thanks for the reply. We are holding on since we have more issues to deal with than just this one, it seems like Sharon's world is crumbling around her and all I can do is listen and offer her whatever support I can.

My medical was done in June and because of the way things are going right now it may take months before we have the hardship letter completed along with the necessary documentation. I am sure that when I do get approved I will have but a few months left before the medical expires and since the Criminal check was dated March that leave about 6 months before that expires and not having gone through this process before I don't know if the criminal check is required further down the process line, I do believe that the medical is required for the AOS and since I don't presently see me being there before 2008 the validity of the medical will either be close to an expiration date or will have just expired.

Thank you Flames9, I will have to call and see if the shorter version of the background check would suffice since they have the RCMP fingerprint check on file, the next check would be for the time from the original check (March) to the then present time (?), which would or should be less than a year. If I need the name check only I will go through the Commissionaires.

The normal background name check is quick!! Not sure why that took you soo long!! some get it the same day, some in a few days

Thank you again Flames9, I had to do the RCMP check and not the name check the first time because of past criminal charges which are the cause of the I-601, that documentation is now on file with the consulate, so I am sure that the next time a name check will be adequate as it will be to cover from the time the last full check was done.

If the old background check has expired, you will need a new one. If you go through the Commissionaires, they now do digital finger print-back ground checks. They send it to the RCMP and it will be mailed back to you in 2-3 weeks (maybe sooner). I think it only costs $35. Make sure you save yourself and look into this.

Thanks WaitinToGoHome, I think I will go with the name check next time since they have the RCMP one that goes back to the beginning of time, I think all I would need is a check for the past few months if that is possible.
