IR1 / CR1 - Montreal Timeline to Interview

sdhiman · November 5, 2009

Hi there...
Canadian Police certs are good for a year from the date that they are drafted. No sure why you'd have submitted one to the USCIS as it was not necessary but regardless. They cant' be over a year old.

Let us know about the AOS stuff as that sounds puzzling to say the least. Good luck and I hope it gets cleared up good and fast for you.

LGG

Sorry, I didn't submit to the USCIS.. had my facts messed up from all the stress haha.

What about international police certificates? I'm gonna be getting one from India. The one I have right now is from April, so I'm wondering if I can send that in because its a big hassle to get one from over there.

Getting ANYTHING from India is a hassel. I've been trying to get a 2nd copy of my Birth Certificate from there, and it's been a night mare. It's frustrating....very frustrating. My kids will not be born in India thats for sho

I agree 100%, the whole reason my NVC case was delayed was because I could not get my Birth Certificate in time and I had my family working on getting it since June!!!

Did you not have a BC? I actually sent my original in but on the interview appointment letter it asked to bring it in during the interview. So Im hoping that was a mistake on their part. But I've been trying to get another copy JUST IN CASE. It's been a pain. I don;t know why they didnt like the one I already sent them?? It had my name, my parents name, the hospital, DOB..####### else do they need? Ive been stressing about the Birth Cert and I think Ive gotten 50 grey hairs b/c of that. What does a person have to do to get their own Birth Certificate???

Im angry at my birth country...just plain angry.

I did but we moved quite a bit when I was little and it got misplaced. It took them months to issue me a new one and all they had to do was check their records and issue another copy!!

When you go for interview, can't you specify that you sent in the original during NVC processing and they should have it?

I guess better safe than sorry so if you can get a copy, it will ease off the tension for you. Don't be angry...your interview is coming up and this whole immigration BS will come to an end atleast for a while....Good Luck for the interview :star: :thumbs:

You got your police certificate from India?? I got mine from the Indian Consulate in Toronto and that seemed to have worked fine so far. It worked for Canadian immigration as well. Do I need to get 1 from India as well? Can you please clarify?

No no, that's fine. If it worked out for you then its fine. For me the case is different, the beneficiary is still in India right now that's why he's gotta get it from there, otherwise I would have just gone to the consulate. Although its no different, the Indian bureaucracy was not left behind when Indian plp left the country. The consulate is a pretty good representation of how things work in India as well haha.

AND Yes my children will not be born anywhere near India either lol

Hi Andy and welcome to zee list! It's odd they emailed you and told you they would book your interview in November. Especially since you haven't heard back from them. Have you emailed them lately?
