[canacani]

Hello everyone over here. Just to update. .. I got my passport stamped for 3 months last. During the last 3 years we grew from a 2 member family to a 4 member family. It was a multiple ielts, medicals and form updates for me. Now I am thinking on do I really need to do the landing or just opt out of this and take a refund for the lading fees. I think they do not refund the application fees. I am currently in Illinoi and canada is a 4 hour drive but do not have a US visa to come back.

Vaibhav

Congrats dear and wish u bright future ahead........one query..ur medical was expire on march 2013 is they send remedical to u or give u medical extantion time and request only revised forum.

They did not ask the medical again. Before our medical was expired, we sent them a email saying tat u asked for medicals and noting has happened after that for a year and medicals are expiring and its expensive to do medicals in US again. May be they considered the request. And rtuely speaking they should consider it as they can sit on a file for 3 yrs and we can not send the medicals every year...
but we sent PCC 3 times ( 3 diff country.. So it was added cost. charge of each country's PCC+ postage)

Now my questions are;
1) In the e-mail the immigration officer have stated saying that “Medical forms and instructions have been emailed to you separately and you shall receive the same in due course of time”. Will there be any other e-mail from Consulate attaching the Medical Forms?

2) While I was adding my Kids application, I have given my credit card details for paying $150. Nothing was deducted so far. So, should I send a DD for my kid? No where, they have asked it though.

3) Can I add my mother-in-law at this stage as me and my wife both are working and someone should be there to take care of my kid. If Yes, how Can I add her? Can I take her also for medicals and fill the relevant forms and send her passport and DD along with our passports?

4) How long would it take to receive back the passports once we submit the passports with the Consulate?

5) Do I have to submit the PCC now? I have submitted PCC and FBI clearance earlier however, it was 2.5 years back.

Please help me by clarifying my questions.
