Yes, Actually they notarize that you have signed the document in front of them thats all. They do not notarize / certified by comparing the original document. I think, everybody did like this to get the certified copy of the documents. At least, I have done like this.

I have a question since you already submitted your documents. In the instruction, it says

"A certified copy of your Degree, Diploma, Certificate or other documents regarding your education and training."

Did you submit certified copy of all your Certificates or only photocopy would be enough?

Advance thanks for any answers.

Is there anybody who is applying for H1B transfer after they sent there file to Alberta for nomination and before the decision is made .

if yes, then have you notified ALBERTA on your change of employer .

Above case applies to me and want to know , if it is a good idea to notify them or wait until they make nomination decision. i am still waiting h1b transfer approval . i do not want to delay my process by notifying them in the middle of the process ...

What do you guys think

Hi, Thanks for your reply....

Wasi, as you told, if we need to sign on document in front of them, are you going to certify our all passport, degree and diplomo copies ?
I think notorized and cerified copy both are different.. certified copy means I think they need to compare our original documents with copies then they have to certifiy..
Kale, how did you do? .. Divagirl, what about you.. pls post reply.. Thanks...

I would say just wait until you get some of response from them which I hop will have some reference no. or application no. Then using this reference no. or application no. email them ur scan copy of new H1B.

Some banks do notarize your copies looking at the originals and some don't. You need to find a bank in which you have an account and they know you pretty well for them to notarize your documents.

If the expiration date of your current work permit (I797) is far enough (like at least 6 months to a year to expire), you could wait until you get the notice for H1B transfer (and also wait for file number from ainp). If your work permit is expiring sooner, send your new I797 as soon as possible.

My bank gave me a sheet in which I entered the name of the doc and the notary at the bank signed and stamped her seal. I know of a friend who tried the same at a different location but her bank refused to notarize, she went to a lawyer/notary and he too refused. She finally went to the UPS store and paid $1/doc and got it notarized.

Re: AINP Application package(H1B Stream) sent after 01-01-2009 under the NEW pro

Hi All,

A quick query - under AINP009 for items "Describe what you have done, or what you plan to do, to search for a job in Alberta", "Describe your plans for initial settlement in Alberta. For instance, where do you plan to live and what type of accommodation are you are seeking?" and "Describe your familiarity with Alberta. For instance, what do you know about its climate, labour market, cost of living, geography, etc.?".

Should it be generic statements or detailed statements answering every aspect being asked in the questions?

Thanks for reply.

This should be a very good place to state your desire to live in Alberta (I did it!). Just tell what you know about the province, where do you plan to live, and your job search strategy (just like writing a small essay).

Hello dudes,

Alberta contacted me today to get a reference letter from my current employer although I have submitted once earlier. I am new Jan 2009 applicant. I sent my docs on 10th Jan, 09. They are requesting me either my contract papers, reference letter, or H1B docs sent by my employer for my H1B petention to USCIS.

My employer (HR, Boss) are pain in an ass.. They don't want to cooperate and are not friendly. I had a very hard time requesting my reference earlier. And now Alberta wants more on it. Any way, the communication from Alberta sounds positive to me.

Folks, Suggest me whether asking more docs/information is good sign or not???
I will be updating or sharing more if I hear any thing from Alberta....
