    NAIROBI OUTLAND APPLICANTS 2014

    Hi all, Quick question: On the Kenya Outland form, it mentions something about getting a DNA blood test. Can someone explain what this means? I have only gotten the regular medical exam done that is required by CIC. Is this enough? Thanks!

    Filing taxes with US spouse

    I understand what you mean. Some of this stuff just goes over my head and it's so difficult to find the right answers. Could you recommend any accountant(s) from your experience? Thanks!

    Filing taxes with US spouse

    Is your wife a US citizen? The reason I ask is because I am in a similar situation, however, I am not a US citizen. My husband and I got married last year in Canada and we are currently in the midst of filing our paperwork. I work remotely for a US company but it is part-time and nowhere near...

    Hi GustavesF, I am actually in a similar situation. My husband and I got married last year in Canada and we are currently in the midst of filing our paperwork. I work remotely for a US company but it is part-time and nowhere near enough to sustain me financially. Really, it's only to keep me...

    US Police Clearance: FBI Processing Times

    Thanks for your feedback! I think I will go ahead and send my application in and then send the fingerprints when they arrive. The irony that the FBI have updated to a newer, "faster" system is beyond me ::)

    US Police Clearance: FBI Processing Times

    Hi all, FBI received my fingerprints on Dec 3rd, 2014 which means I will receive my report roughly a month from now (fingers crossed) according to other timelines I have seen.

    NAIROBI OUTLAND APPLICANTS 2014

    Hi Awmf2014! Thank you! Yes, I have applied to extend my visitor record for the second time now as the first one expired. I was confused before as well between extending a visitor visa and visitor record because CIC has titled the form "Extension of TRV" so my first thought was that I am...

    US Police Clearance: FBI Processing Times

    Hi all, I just got off the phone with the FBI and the agent informed me that they are currently working on opening files received end of November/beginning of December. My fingerprints were received on Dec 3rd, but he could not find it in the system which means they still haven't started...

    NAIROBI OUTLAND APPLICANTS 2014

    Jambo Jambo! You're right, I think I will just wait for my fingerprints to arrive and then send the complete application package. It's just that not being able to travel and see my family for almost another year gets to me sometimes, but I am fortunate to at least be with my husband in Canada...

    NAIROBI OUTLAND APPLICANTS 2014

    Hi Ashsher, I had posted this question on another forum as well and some people recommended that I just wait for my fingerprints and THEN send out my paperwork. The reason for that is because Mississauga is currently taking ~85 days to approve the sponsor and the fingerprints are valid for 3...
