La Souris

Might be silly to be asking, but I only have so much ink and paper to last as I can not obtain more.

Can a United States Immigration Law ever be challenged legally for being wrong? And obviously wrong would be an articulate argument from my position, but is it even possible to challenge in a court?

I only made it through judicial politics.

No. I think there are many drugs in this world.Thank you to our failed policies and drug wars, drugs are viewed with a stigma. I don't advocate alcohol use, but it's legal and causes just as many problems if not more, than drugs. There is no alcohol test for people who want to immigrate. I don't believe there should be a double standard.

We are having a lot of trouble with the health care thing. My hubby didn't have it, because he hasn't been to a doctor in like ten years. We were going to get it through his work in December and he forgot, and the enrollment period is over. So, I had to go to the ob/gyn to confirm my pregnancy, and they said they were going to do some bloodwork. I thought they meant for like checking HCG and progesterone, normal stuff. They tested me for all sorts of random stuff and I got a bill in the mail for $1800. We're thinking about bringing it to court potentially. To be honest, I didn't even know I would be billed by a third party.. I didn't know how it worked. So nuts. I applied for the state health care, they approved me for labour and delivery only, so I'm just going to go home for my check-ups throughout the pregnancy. It'll be cheaper that way. The state health care will cover the baby for a year so that will be fine until December when we can get the proper coverage. Ughh it's so crazy.

Reading some posts here, I need to ask how one would go about the problems with the Law Enforcement Officers or ICE during the time you actually lost your GC?

Let's say you just loses it yesterday and ICE stops you the next morning, it's undeniably you are in BIG trouble!

If you loses it, it's apparent you won't have it with you at all and does law enforcement officer suppose to believe it that you lost it last night?

Would they be able to check and decide if you are LPR from your state ID from the Government database?

My card is locked in a safe at home, unless I'm traveling (internationally or out of the Northeast), or I know I'll need to show it. My husband and my lawyer both know where to find it, that's sufficient for me.

Were they ever in the USA at the same time?

Soon, by March I think, you'll also need an ETA to enter Canada. Look into it as I'm not sure you'll get it.

You can request a summary from CBP of all your crossings. It costs $5 and takes a week or two to get it mailed to you. I ordered one and included that as well as a printed calendar highlighting the last 3 months worth of crossings. My husband and I were alternating each weekend so like you I had quite a few. On the DS-160 I listed the previous 6 crossings and included the extra info as a bit of front loading.

Could be an issue since you would need your Advance parole to be readmitted. Personally, I would make sure to not leave the US (and its territories) until you have AP in hand.

I think it might be a case tainted supplements, like this

CBSA is equipped to test what people are bringing in and to confirm if sugar is sugar...

How are you flying to Saipan? Do you have a connecting flight/layover in another country than the USA?

This is the phone number for non residents:

1-800-959-8281

It hasn't expired yet but it has to be at least 6 months valid in order to fly . I was more afraid of having to renewing my passport through mailing and not allowed to get on flight coming back to canada later on ....

You can certainly travel to Canada with a Canadian passport until the expiry date.

I do NOT have a criminal record. i mentioned that i was NOT charged for anything.

and this is the very question that i am concerned, will they let me into the US with a flag (possible flag relating to drugs).

This is for those with criminal records. I do NOT have one.

This is for those with criminal records. I do NOT have one.

i hope you guys know the difference between actually having a criminal record / police record / arrests / flag.....they are all somewhat independent of each other. flag is an alert on the profile. you can get a flag for anything if the officer believes extra caution needs to be taken with the profile.

yes, being a canadian citizen, we do not need visa for visiting usa.

Take pictures while going back home or contact your local consulate to get a list of photographers aware of the Canadian requirements.

You'll also need your proof of citizenship (birth certificate or citizenship certificate) plus at least another piece of ID in your new (married) name (look up the form, acceptable documents are listed under "docs to support your identity").

Yah I still have access to my old address. I'll look into changing my SIN number for sure.

I did post the link earlier to the reciprocity schedule and required documents.

Birth

Births are registered in the Canadian provinces or territory in which they took place. Though each province or territory issues its own certificates for these events, there are a few basic formats for them across Canada:

The "small" or "short form" certificate is a computer-printed, limited extract of information from provincial records. It is a wallet-sized card, 9.5 x 6.4 cm or 2.5 x 3.75in (Specimen from British Columbia). Short-form or small certificates are not acceptable for visa purposes because they do not contain enough identification information, such as parents' names.

The "large" or "full-size" certificate is a computer-printed extract of information from provincial records. It is printed on currency-style paper stock, 21.6 x 17.8 cm or 7 x 8.25 in., with an intaglio border (Specimen from British Columbia).

A "certified copy of a record" is an exact or near-exact copy of the actual paper record in the provincial archives. It is printed on safety paper, usually 21.5 x 28 cm or 8.5 x 14in., and bears the province or territory's raised seal. This type of certificate, being a complete record rather than an extract, contains the most information about the event.

A "commemorative" certificate is a decorative document intended for display (Specimen from Manitoba). Commemorative certificates are not considered legal documents in Canada and are not acceptable for visa purposes.

Note: For cases in which the subject of a birth record was adopted, see "Adoption Records" below.

Not all provinces and territories issue all of the formats noted above. Province-and-territory specific information on obtaining acceptable birth, marriage, death, and name change certificates is as follows

[...]

Ontario: Applicants should obtain "large" certificates or certified copies of a registration from the Office of the Registrar General in Toronto (Macdonald Block, 900 Bay Street, second floor, tel: 416-325-8305) or at Ontario Land Registry Offices and Government Information Centers located throughout the province. Further information, including locations and information on ordering by mail is available online.

Note: For marriages in Ontario, the certificate torn off the marriage license and given to the couple at the conclusion of the ceremony confirms that the marriage took place, but is not a legal document. Applicants must obtain a marriage certificate or certified copy of marriage record from the Office of the Registrar General."

Yes but passport ones are a lot easier now as the only requirement is to know somebody for two years and have a valid Canadian passport

You used to need a guarantor for passports. Generally your doctor fits this bill.

Still need one if you can't use the simplified renewal form (ex. After losing your passport, changing your name, etc.)

Also got mine in less than a week in Québec, regular service.

I suggest you try to get it before your interview as the Montreal consulate usually takes forever to issue the visa when documents are missing.

I am located in Ontario.

Looks like there is a premium online service that will allow me 5 days but I don't know of that will work with Christmas and New Years around the corner. I will call first thing tomorrow morning and see what they can do for me. Hopefully it can be done and it doesn't cost a fortune to get it.

Fill the form tonight, you'll need a guarantor if I'm not mistaken.

See here for the exact requirements, as it depends on the province

My wife is Canadian and I am a U.S. Citizen. She is living in Canada. I have been told that I file form I 130 and form G-325A. I also have been told that when the form is sent out, that it is not in my wifes best interest to cross into the the U.S. Obviously this stinks. To fix this issue can she get some sort of travel visa so she can stay in the U.S. when were waiting on the I 30 form to come back.

Please help, Thank you!

Who told you that? No problem visiting for most Canadians - I did visit often. Brought some proof of my ties to Canada.

Thats overall, for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on marriage.

For people marrying for the first time the divorce rate is 30% which are very good odds.

Not as awesome as they were in the 1860s (1% divorce rate) but still better than half.

And for people who waited before marriage the rate is merely 4% which is very close to the 1860s rate.

Depending on his job, he might be eligible to unemployment/parental leave.
