Thank you. It is indeed an HUGE relief!!!!! I was all worried because I never got PPR..... just decision made and then the e-mail this morning.amikety said:It's nice of them to tell you it was approved! Congrats, it's party time!!!
(I would post a celebration gif for you, but I don't think that's apprioriate for this thread)
FBI certificates are taking about 5 weeks (or at least that's what it took for ours when we sent firnger prints in January).Tullysgirl said:Got this email yesterday, the just of it is:In order to continue processing your application, the following is required:
Ø Additional Family Info IMM5406: A separate and newly completed Additional Family Information form (IMM5406) bearing original signatures This must be received at this office by: 05/06/2013
Ø FBI Clearance: If your residence period in the USA has been six months or longer since the age of 18, provide an original FBI clearance certificate Visit: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/background-checks/submitting-an-identification-record-request-to-the-fbi This must be received at this office by: 05/06/2013
Ø COPY OR SCANNED IMAGE of your passport and passports of your accompanying family members, as noted below.
2 Questions:
Does it do any good to dispute the FBI clearance? I have proof they rec'd it prior to the expiry date. Proof being it was signed for in Ottawa about 10 days before it expired. WHY do we only get 60 days when the FBI states "processing times may take approximately five to six weeks depending on the volume of requests received." Gee, that gives me about the SAME amount of time to get CIC what I did before!
When IMM5406 asks for Changes to your Family Composition:
· Have you married or divorced?
· Have you given birth or adopted a child?
· Do you intend to get married or divorced prior to becoming a permanent resident?
· Do you intend to give birth or adopt a child prior to becoming a permanent resident?
· Has your sponsor withdrawn his or her sponsorship of your application?
If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPP-O immediately. You will be asked to submit evidence such as a copy of the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption certificate or a letter advising when and where the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption is expected to take place. Any new spouse and/or children must be added to your application and be found admissible to Canada before your case is finalized. Failure to declare additional dependants such as a spouse or children before you become a permanent resident could result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa.
I didn't let them know we got married, they found out when I sent the marriage certificate, with my application!
So, I have to send the marriage certificate again? AND put my Canadian hubby and step-daughter on IMM5406? They're not "accompanying" , they're Canadian citizens!
I'm so confused. But going to get fingerprinted this morning.
Applied as married. I went to the local MP and their office faxed the email and the IMM5406 to their Ottawa office, saying I'd already sent the FBI clearance and passport to them and asking if the only requirement is the IMM5406. I will go back later to see if they get a response. They were so helpful!IslandAnnie said:
UPDATE: The MP's office said the MP's asst from Ottawa thinks I only need to send in the IMM5406. I get a check in my spirit about it. They may be politicians, but they're not immigration specialist. Anyone have advice?Tullysgirl said:
Send it all, but for the FBI thing, explain that you have applied for another one and you will send it when you get it but it will be longer than 60 days.Tullysgirl said:
Can I do that?? The email clearly says to send everything together......I thought I'd wait the 5 weeks then call them to see if they sent it. They lost it last time and I got it to CIC with 6 days before the expiry date.parker24 said:
Your step daughter does not need to fill out anything. Your sponsor only needs to fill out the items that are listed in the sponsorship guide.Tullysgirl said:
I get what you're saying, and I agree, they are confusing.computergeek said:
Ah yes, that is the supplementary information form. You would complete that, but neither your husband nor step-child would complete it. You would LIST them there, but neither of them would complete any paperwork. You should have submitted one with the original application, so if they are asking you to fill it out again, it's because they weren't happy about something on it.Tullysgirl said:
UGH. They're not asking me to fill it out again, they're asking me to DO IT! I never did it because I mistakenly thought it was ONLY if I had "accompanying" family members. OIY VEY. So, do I really have to put my brother on it??? LOLcomputergeek said:
Seriously.....my brother who's a grandpa in Washington State??......and I have NO idea the names of 2 of my step brothers. UNbelievable. How would they even know about the steps-they don't even know anything about my parent's situation.computergeek said:
