hi again its me lol, us citizen married to canadian citizen, once again ive happened upon some questions and this forum has been a god sent, especially you PMM.BUffalo wont handle questions on the phone and they said to email, so i did and i get a reply saying they dont answer email questions unless ive sent in my application already, so if anyone could answer a few questions id be so grateful...
1)theres a form called "Additional Family Information" IMM5406 (06-2002)E, on which they ask for my parents, children, brothers,sisters,half siblings etc.My question is, do i list these family members even if they are not going to live in canada with me?
2)In schedule one Background/Declaration IMM008, they ask for all addresses ive lived in since turning 18 years old. Im 35 now and have lived in quite a few places. I dont remember the street number and sometimes not even the street name of some of my addresses. What will happen if i can not remember 100% of them?
3)Background checks, i know i need to do them, i am going tomorrow for the fingerprints, but hear it will take 16-18 weeks to get my FBI (USA) back and we want to file PR in September, do i need the background checks BEFORE applying to send in with app or do i send in later? will it reduce my processing time if i have it whewn i send in my papers?
4) i have custody of my 3 US citizen children and their father has visitation at the discretion of social services because of alchoholic abuse on the fathers side, but he has neither called nor been in any contavt with the kids in 10 years, do i need to get a judge to take visitation off the order? or will my custody order sufice for a court resolution to bring them with me?
5) i still have a car payment on a brand new 2006 car, will this affect anything with immigration and will i be able to keep my car? lol ok that one was off the wall but since i was asking i figured i might as well throw it in there. i heard you have to have 2 copies of a list of all your items you are moving over when you land, do you have to say every single item you are crossing?
6) i have applied for our passports, and wont have them before we apply, my husband found out all i had to do was write a letter saying ive applied and attach it to the app and it will suffice til i am asked to send it to them, is there a significant difference in the processing time if i wait to send it rather than supply the info on the apps as the apps ask?
sorry for so many questions guys, my husband is living in oshawa and im living in virginia and as you can guess we are eager to finally be able to live as a married couple so all your help is greatly appreciated!!!
