UGH!!!! Yeah, I really don't want to submit it without but time is ticking and I'm getting so nervous. I applied right after as well and it's been over 4 weeks now and NOTHING! I checked my status online and all is says is to please wait 10 weeks until after you get married to request one. I'm...

Hi there, I'm applying outland and recently got married on July 23rd in Ontario, Canada to a Canadian citizen(I'm American). I requested the marriage certificate a couple days after (July 25th) as a lot of people have suggested on here. I'm getting VERY close to having all my documents ready...

I sent my packet on June 6th and my CC was charged on August 15th! I AM SO ANXIOUS!!!!!!! I'm in Canada though, so I would imagine I still have to wait another week or so before I actually get mine in the mail...anyone else in Canada know how long they waited after their CC was charged?

Hi guys, I'm really really anxious to get my FBI clearance(last item I need to have a full package). I mailed mine off on June 6th, so I have a few more weeks of waiting. I'm considering sucking up the money and just doing my fingerprints again and going through one of the channelers because...

Yeah, I would hope common sense would come into play, but you never know. I'll provide as much proof as I can! Thanks!!

Hi, My husband(Canadian citizen) is sponsoring myself(American citizen). I'm now temporarily living in Canada under the SWAP visa but before, I lived in Buffalo, NY and he lived in Toronto. We would simply just cross one of the bridges to get to each other and they don't stamp passports or show...

Thank you! Anyone have any idea what month/day they are on for processing?

Thank you so much!

Hi guys, I just got married in Ontario (Canada) and I know it takes around 6-8 weeks before you can get your marriage certificate. Can I go ahead and order the certificate online ASAP or should I wait the 6-8 weeks before ordering?

I submitted my request on June 6th and I know it takes about 16 weeks to get back. I'm currently living in Canada so I put my Canadian address as the address to return the letter. Is this okay?? Should I have put down a US address? Will they mail to a Canadian address??

Thanks so much! Yeah, I just really like my job and would love to be able to keep it but I don't think it's worth the risk. I would rather play it safe and just apply outland and hope it gets approved ASAP!

No, I'm here on the SWAP visa program right now. They give you an open work permit for a year and then you're kind of on your own. I would love to be able to keep my job, but I'm also really scared to apply inland as I know the process takes a lot longer and there is no appeal. I think I will...

Thanks, everyone. I think I will just hold off to be safe! I understand I can also apply as inland as well and apply for the work permit, so I can continue working. Is applying inland all that bad? I have a lot of family friends in Buffalo, NY so I cross the border a lot but I have never been...

I am applying outland as a US citizen. Is it a better idea to wait and submit a FULL package (unfortunately I will be waiting for my police clearance and marriage certificate for another 7 weeks). OR Should I submit everything I have so far? eg. Application, pictures (proof of relationship)...

Thanks, guys!! Is there a blog or previous post that kinda walks you through the process step by step for Americans? I wanna make sure I don't mess anything up.

Hi, I'm an American citizen living in Canada on a work permit valid until December. I'm marrying a Canadian citizen and I'm wondering if I should apply inland and hope for the open work permit to process after the 4 months? OR Can I apply outland(even though I'm living in Canada) as I have...

So if we got married and he sponsored me that way, could I apply as outland even though I'm actually in Canada? I'm not a resident of Canada, so could I still apply outland while living here?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to get a work permit here. I'm already in Canada on a work permit but I cannot get it renewed using the same outlet since I'm no longer a student(I was on the Students Work Abroad Program) visa. My bf and I have been living together for a year now, so we could...
