last 3 months bank statements, ------------------ If married do we need to provide bank
statement? (this for common law partner to show their name together, isn't it?)

4 photos in a small envelop, name dob and picture date on 1 photo and on envelop,
cashiers check for USD 930 (2x465). -------------- This should be USD: 510, correct?

Please let me know if my concerns correct. I am about to submit to CIC in AINP category.
You are probably right on both accounts:
1. I simply attached the bank statements to be on the safe side.
2. The fee was increased last year, after I sent my application.

Come on, a lot of the questions can be answered if you just use common sense and follow the instructions properly or if you care to read older posts on this forum. I hope everyone concurs with the fact that we are here to help each other and not to spoonfeed.

Urgent Please help,

I have received my CIC packet as it is missing I-797. I have moved to EAD status after Nomination issued on 4th Jan 2010. I moved to EAD from 16th Feb 2010, till 15th Feb I was on Valid H-1B. I am going to send them copy of EAD , I-485,I-797 and will send them clear cut letter saying I moved to EAD from 16th Feb 2010 which is after nomination issued. I talk to AINP people too and they say its fine.

Should I worry about my application? Will i get any issue for moving to EAD from H-1B after receiving nomination.

I am about to send my packet back right now.

Thanks,
sam70

Sam70,

I think you have now got it right.....
They need this to validate your stay in country other than your country of citizenship where your passport is from....that is why they asked for I797 since you are a H1B stream for AINP.
Explanation letter with past I797 & EAD copy would be sufficient to prove that you are on a valid status in US and hence can apply to buffalo consulate.

good luck!

Hi Guys,

I am back after a long silence....

I applied for my FBI clearance on jan 20th and recieved it on March 19th... for both me and my wife... I have this letter stating that there is no criminal record with out any signature... is that how its usually sent out??

Anyway I am moving to the next step... ie sending my application to CIC Buffalo... I have a few concerns (U can call them silly but what the heck is this forum for...)
1. I have 3 applicants including me (2 adults + 1 child) - do i need to get money orders as seperate one's or can I do away with one MO
2. There is this orange sticker given by AINP, which needs to be pasted on the envelope.. Do i need to paste it in the fedex envelope or in the packet which i am going to put in the documents?? (As being precautious, I am enclosing my documents inside a second envelope)
3. The passport size photos.. can i just put them inside the envelope or need to stick it in the application.
4. Also my state NJ PCC was issued on Dec 30 2009, so will it be ok if my application package reached before March 1st. Or is it the date the MO are cashed?

Guys dont shout at me for being silly.. I want make sure that they dont send my package back.. You know after being in H1B like pirates (The scared ones) I have become a scared soul.. Help me out Guys...

BR,
McLuvin

Answer you should also get your fingerprint card back with some sort of stamp at back side.(this is your FBI Clearence).
If you have not got them back you need to call FBI and request them to send it back to you.

Anyway I am moving to the next step... ie sending my application to CIC Buffalo... I have a few concerns (U can call them silly but what the heck is this forum for...)
1. I have 3 applicants including me (2 adults + 1 child) - do i need to get money orders as seperate one's or can I do away with one MO
Answer : One Money order will do........
2. There is this orange sticker given by AINP, which needs to be pasted on the envelope.. Do i need to paste it in the fedex envelope or in the packet which i am going to put in the documents?? (As being precautious, I am enclosing my documents inside a second envelope)
Answer. Yes on the main Fedex or USPS envelop so they can redirect your package to appropriate department like Federal applicants or nominee like us.
3. The passport size photos.. can i just put them inside the envelope or need to stick it in the application.
Answer Paste one photo on application form rest you can put it in evenlope
4. Also my state NJ PCC was issued on Dec 30 2009, so will it be ok if my application package reached before March 1st. Or is it the date the MO are cashed?
Answer date it was issued..... u probably need to get new one but u can send the old one right now and try your luck.

Hi despoimmigrant,

Thanks a ton buddy !!

You mentioned about the finger print card... In the letter they sent to me.... they had mentioned that "inorder to protect personal infomation" they have stopped sending fingerprint cards back.
So I think we are good..

What you say??

Also is there any service for MO which also has a tracking mechanism??
