I have a question regarding travel history. We (my husband and I) are based in the U.S. and we have taken a few trips to India in the last two years. Do we have to mention this in the travel history?
 
Good Morning

Can anyone please help me with my query.In the work history Section of post ITA it asks for city where the activity took place. I worked for Indian consulting company based out of michigan (detroit) and my client were in Maryland, DC and virginia. What should I mention in the work history section for the job where it asks for City/Town where the activity took place. Also if you have mentioned in LOE something related to this can you please let me know how you stated in LOE about different locations and different client for work history

You need to mention the place you physically worked.. Your employer's address doesn't matter in anyways and no need to explain anything about this in LOE or anywhere

It is optional. No harm if you mention or not. If you don't list the travel history, just mention in LOE that you have never taken any trips outside your country of origin (India) and country of residence (US)
 
The problem is the HR is not ready to issue roles and responsibilties. I did a lot of reading on this site and found that there are others in a similar situation. Some people suggested getting the details on a white paper and getting it signed by the manager and then getting the paper notarized.
Hi,
Is the HR willing to verify the job title and dates? If they can do that and along with that include the Managers letter. That is what I did. So far havent had issues with the application still pending but hope will clear.
 
Hello Everyone,

I am in a tough situation.
I am currently residing in the US, and I visited the Indian Embassy in Washington DC to get my Indian PCC. They told me that they did not have my data in their system and asked me to fill Performa for verification of nationality status/antecedents form. Moreover, they said it would 30 days to get the certificate as they will send my details to Police station in India where I live and get verification from there.

I thought of getting a PCC from India itself as I could get it from an Indian Police station.

Would a PCC from India work or does it needs to be from Indian Embassy from US as I reside out of India.

PS - My deadline to submit documents is November 5 and I do not know if Indian Embassy would provide the PCC by that time.

Thanks

Its not preferred to get PCC from local police station. Even though it has been mentioned that you can apply for PCC from District Police Station, the PCCs issued from these places specifically covers the clearance for the applicant's stay in that region only. In India, if the applicant has stayed at the same address or in the same city for their entire duration in India, then the applicant can go ahead with the PCC issued from local SP Office or District Police Station.

On the other hand, if the applicant has stayed in different cities in India, then the best would be to get PCC from PSK. PCC issued by PSK is applicable for the applicant's entire stay in India as it does not mention any address of the applicant.

PSK you might run into same issue again, try and see if you get the police certificate from embassy by that time. If you have good points forgo the invitation and get another invitation in another round and apply once you get PCC. All the best
 
Hello everyone -

I'm in a pickle now and would like to get your insights on this.

My AOR in May of 2018, currently the application is in IP2 status and I'm optimistically expecting PR in November of this year (fingers crossed).

But wife and I are expecting a baby in January 2019 so I'm really confused as to what to do. Should we get our PR Visa stamped and soft-land if possible, then sponsor PR for the baby from the US and once the baby received it's PR, move permanently? Or when requested for Passports, tell them about the future born baby? Or tell them now?

I honestly have no idea what to do and what are the consequences of each option.

Any direction would be much appreciated.
 
Hi Everyone,
My family and I just landed in Halifax at around 1 am on Sunday after a delayed flight. Everything went smoothly, and I didn't get asked many questions. The immigration agent did express some concern about the possibility of PR cards getting lost in the mail if we had them sent to a cousin in Vancouver on the other side of the country and recommended waiting until we had a Halifax address to get them sent. Our goods accompanying and goods to follow lists were also stamped with no issues. We'll be house/apartment hunting here his week before going back to Virginia to finish packing, etc.
 
Hi Everyone,

I just moved to the US 3 weeks back from India. I received AOR in August. Does changing country of residence affects application processing speed?
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
 
Is there a way to know the visa office..other than through gcms? I raised a cse for a correction and got a response that the Info has been shared to the corresponding office..but it didn't say which office it is..for people based in US, which one is it usually?
 
Does anyone know if US Citizens are exepmt from the Permanent Residency Travel Document requirement while waiting for PR Card? Can we jsut re-enter Canada with our US Passport as we don't require an eTA to travel to Canada?

Concerned that I have to go to a wedding traveling from Canada to Jamaica and may not have my PR Card. Flights already booked.

My understanding is that PRTDs are mostly to allow people who would usually require an eTA or visa to re-enter Canada (via air), since after becoming a PR you can no longer get an eTA or travel visa and airlines will sometimes check to make sure their passengers are authorized to travel to their destination. Since US citizens don't need a visa or eTA to enter Canada under normal circumstances, we also technically don't need PRTDs, since airlines will accept a US passport as authorization to travel to Canada.

Basically, as far as I'm aware, you can just use your US passport when you fly. You will need to bring your CoPR with you, though, so that you can show evidence that you're a PR and not a visitor once you re-enter Canada.
