    Los Angeles Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    Well, it's been 13 days since our status changed to "Decision Made" and nothing in the mail as yet. We're getting really worried since even our MP hasn't heard anything from Immigration since putting in a request last week to find the status of our case. We can't even log into E-cas as we used...

    Los Angeles Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    Our status changed to Decision Made on Jan 17th. We had sent copies of the passport pages the week before and they received them on Jan 8 in LA. How long after it changes to Decision Made are we looking at for getting the COPR in the mail? Hubby already has a job lined up. Is it possible they...

    Tech Based Relationship

    My hubby and I met on World of Warcraft. We met each other in game in May, visited once in August, got engaged on the 4th day of actually meeting in person (we spent 5 days together). 3 weeks later he moved here to Canada and we got married 3 weeks later. I'm 10 years older than him to boot...

    We're excited to report that after almost 10 months, we've received the passport request from LA. I had sent another angry letter to the Minister of Immigration's office on October 5th and they replied this morning with an update. About 2 hours later, we received the passport request. We've sent...

    We've been in process since August 21, 2012. Haven't heard anything since October 16th when they asked to ignore the request for a new FBI check and that they are extending the medical. We're thinking that my hubby will land sometime in January since they've been sitting there doing nothing with...

    We've successfully made the move to Edmonton..got a nice apartment..got a good job...then bam..got an email from CIC telling hubby to disregard the request for the FBI they asked for and now they're just waiting on an extension of his medicals which are due to expire on the 27th of Oct. We...

    Ours is in La and we didn't get any of that. We just got "in order to continue processing your application....." Then it says the same as yours, but we got 120 days. Our MP wrote us back: "My contact with C&I indicates the file is in LA with background checks in process. The background checks...

    Rose2D2...is your file in LA or Ottawa? Did it say right on that email that an interview is waived? We were asked for an FBI and it didn't say an interview was waived. I wonder now if we're going to have to go for an interview....

    I'm pretty sure drug testing is included to the HIV and Hepatitis. I can't find any proof but I'm sure they do test for drugs as well. It would make sense.

    Where do you guys go to get your prints done? The price just went up $15.00 at the Commissionaires in Ottawa. It's now close to $60 not including the $18 bucks to the FBI and to send the thing, plus the $7 for the money order. The one thing that I do like about them though is that the prints are...

    Can't send the FBI to both because they need an original copy.

    Thanks for the advice people. We will get another medical done once we are done with our move to Edmonton next week. Very very good advice indeed :D

    See that's what irritates me. Those FBI are only good for 3 months. So take 1 week to mail it to them, then they take 1 month to even acknowledge receipt/open it (if they do at all), then another month to add it to your file...on and on. Then, like in our case, they receive it during the 3...

    I will be awaiting your news as well CGagnon..I would have thought you'd have PPR by now. Your case is so straight forward, plus you having a lawyer..you'd think you would have flown through the process. Did they even ask you for any further documents thus far? Seems weird they can't even...

    The email came from LA. They told us to send it there and our MP's minion checked..our file is in LA and will be delayed for up to 5 months because they are doing background checks and security checks. I thought all that stuff was done in Ottawa, but now I'm not so sure. I will send it to LA...

    We've been busy moving and I'm really confused coming back here to read these posts. We have been requested to send yet another FBI and LA requested it. We sent it off to the FBI and are now just waiting for them to send us hubby's clearance. We were told initially with our sponsorship approval...

    Congrats Computergeek!!!! I'm so happy for you, you must feel so relieved! This is what I got today from my MP's minion: "My contact with C&I indicates the file is in LA with background checks in process. The background checks and other checks still could extend up to five months. At that...

    US to Canada - Full Time Student Wife?

    I am a full time student and didn't have any problems getting sponsorship approval for my husband. I'm on OSAP which is different from EI, but they're both not consideration social assistance. Hope this helps.

    Parker, may I ask where you get the fingerprinting done for 20 bucks? We have been going to the Commissionaires in Ottawa and it's 45 bucks, plus the money order for the FBI. If we knew a cheaper place to go, we'd go there instead.

    Well, I fired off an email to my MP's minion on our immigration case. Thankfully he got back to us and requested info on what's going on. I sent him a copy of our sponsorship approval letter stating to send any documents to LA and the email confirmation that LA received the FBI check before it...
