Do you need to get PCC from UK if stayed there for 14 months for Montreal processing?
Yes, you need to get PCC from all countries where you have stayed for over six months, and from where PCCs are obtainable.
Do we need to provides spouses W2/IRS tax transcript?
Yes. The consulates collect tax filing information for IRS\' use. It is not part of your immigrant visa processing. Since each applicant is required to submit an IRS9003, it is advisable to carry W2 / tax transcripts for last three tax years for all applicants, where applicable. Of course, not all documents that you carry may be inspected. It is better to carry too much than too little.
Is spouses current status important (he is on his own work visa - not as a dependent on mine)
No, the status is not important, as long has the person has maintained valid status throughout their stay in the US. However, many conservative lawyers advise that the dependent should be on a visa that has a dual intent (e.g., H1-B). In your case, if your spouse has a work visa it is likely to be dual intent. In practice, dependent\'s visa type has never been an issue, many patrons of this board have consular processed successfully with their spouses on F1 (a non dual intent visa).
What do you do if you don\'t have any immunization records, is a letter from a family physician (in canada) sufficient?
For Montreal, you need the following immunizations:
- MMR
- DpT
- Varicella (Chicken pox)
For Varicella, a verbal declaration is sufficient. For MMR and DpT, written records are required. Here is an excerpt from Dr. Howard Seiden’s web site (
http://www.panelphysicians.com/Pages/Immunizations.htm)
You must provide the panel physician with a written record of you vaccine history. Ideally the written proof should list each dose of each vaccine you have been given -- the date (month, day, year) and who gave you the vaccine. You cannot simply tell the panel physician that you had vaccinations as a child. We cannot accept notes from you doctor like: "Vaccinations up to date" or "Does not require additional vaccines."
When no written vaccination history is available, you may present the Panel Physician with written laboratory proof of immunity in the form of antibody titers. A titer report should be dated and either be on your doctor\'s letterhead or be a copy of the actual laboratory report. Your personal physician can arrange the necessary blood tests. However, depending upon where you live, test results may not be available for a number of weeks. When no written vaccination history is available, but you can recall receiving immunization injections, we strongly recommend you discussing having antibody titres to determine whether additional immunizations are medically necessary.
Do you need to take your canadian passport with I-94 to the police station for a finger print based RCMP PCC? If not what docs does one need to take to the police station?
A photo ID is required. A passport is often the best form of ID. I used my Driver License. For more information on RCMP’s criminal records check, look up:
