Greedy members??? What makes you say that? It's not really about money anymore. I'm working at a company for the last 7 years (the last 3+ years "stuck" in the GC process). That's what bothers me the most, not the money. Believe me money is good in this company. And nobody's hounding the USCIS...

Gurus, I have filed 140+485 concurrently after the July 2 fiasco, like a lot of people here on the list, I guess. From what I understand, once I get the 485 receipt, after 90 days from the receipt date, I can go to the local INS office and ask to get an EAD for me & my spouse (she's...

Folks, I am getting tired of hearing the usual "Canadian experience", "you will work as a driver / security" complaints in any thread that starts discussing jobs in Canada. So, why not, for a change, post a few good experiences when looking for a job in Canada? I am interested in...

BillOfE If you are in the US, I think you might be able to get a copy of the marriage cert from your closest Indian Consulate. eg. For San Francisco and nearby areas, check: http://www.cgisf.org/visa/indian_services.html You might have your wife's name on the passport. In any case the...

Well, I checked online at the cic.gc.ca website "online services" section. Tried a change of address and saw the address in Toronto there. It seems that the address there is incomplete (missing the Apt #). I guess the cards might have been sent, but returned because of the incomplete...

Hi Folks, I am not sure as to how detailed should the "goods to follow list should be. Should I just list most of the major electronics (TV, laptop, camcorder, etc), car, furniture pieces (mattress set, sofa, dining set), and so on or does it have to be a very detailed list with serial...
