Yes, I had several surgeries prior to medical exam. I did not need any documentation. The doctor wasn't particularly interested since surgeries are neither potentially contagious nor addictive.

Your police certificate from India never expires. The only reason you would need to update is if you had been in India after the police certificate was issued.

Form NR73 Determination of Residency Status (Leaving Canada)

You do not cease to be a resident of Canada simply because you have an active green card. It is entirely possible to be considered a resident by both countries since they have different rules. From the US viewpoint, all citizens and green card holders are considered residents for tax purposes, regardless of where they live, even if they have never even visited the US. This comes with certain benefits, as well as certain obligations (notably taxes). From a Canadian viewpoint, you are deemed a resident, or not, based on a variety of other factors, including physical presence, family, work, house ownership, etc. A US green card can be a factor which tips the scale toward being a non-resident in Canada, but of itself, it is not conclusive. You remain a dual resident until your residential ties become stronger in US than they are in Canada. I have heard much discussion to the contrary, so I submitted the official paperwork to the Canadian government for them to make a determination on my residency. They determined that in my case, the green card alone was not sufficient to deem me a non-resident in Canada. I would like to hear other official determinations on such matters for similar cases.

Time has passed since you submitted your first documents to CEAC. You might have more current documents for the interviewing officer, especially income tax and financial information for you or your sponsor. If you upload to CEAC, you can be sure the officer will see it. If you simply bring it with you to the interview, you may never get a chance to present it before the officer makes his decision.

Even if there is nothing stamped in the passport during their "visit," the officer may unknowingly trigger the "immigration." (I speak from experience) My green card has a July date (visit), and the stamp in the passport has an August date (when I intended to immigrate). I still haven't figured out how to correct the discrepancy.

Your feeling is correct. The interview date does not change once you are "DQ'ed," regardless of how many updated documents you upload. It would be advisable to upload the new I-864, as well as any other documents you want the officer to see, such as updated income tax transcripts, etc.

#1 Make sure you know that you are documentarily qualified. Did you receive an email confirming that you were DQ?

Use the requirements for US passport photos. 2x2, etc. If you want to pinch pennies, you can even take your own photo and use an online "passport photo" program to tile 6 identical photos on a 4x6 photo. Then get it printed at Staples on high quality photo paper, and voila: 6 identical photos for $1.48 or whatever they charge. Just make sure you follow the guidelines about head size, white background, etc.

Can someone tell me if there is any special procedure to import a cargo trailer from Canada when moving personal goods? Is it the same as importing a vehicle? I can't seem to find any relevant threads here or elsewhere.
