i tried filling in an online form to get a passport card. it asks if i have a passport book and says that if i do, i will have to submit it as a document. when i look at the hard copy of a ds-11 (cant remember the exact form number) it says that a naturalization cert will do. does anyone...

just go to your local ssa office, show them your GC, and request a new social security card without the restriction printed on it. about 3 weeks later your new card should arrive in the mail.

we were not allowed to take any food up, not even a donut. we did take some baby necessities, one to be exact. i don't know if they would make an exception for a younger baby. if the guard takes anything from you at the door, they give you a receipt. you can get your stuff when you leave.

although implied, it isn't clear from the posting if you are attempting to receive derivative status based on your wife's CP. if you are, and if your wife's CP is denied then AP may be irrelevant as the grounds for denial are fairly serious (fraud, deception, medical issues) and may make you...

ours came about 2 weeks after the interview. we used the POE at dorval airport the day after the interview. my wife's and my card arrived the same day along with her welcome letter. the next day she received a second welcome letter and i received my first (and only) welcome letter.

congrats on the interview. it will probably be best to get out of that montreal chill and back to the sunny south. FYI: it only took 12 days from the POE for us to receive our cards.

the lawyer collected 335 *2 for me and my wife some months ago. there were no other charges at the consulate or poe during our interview or immigration. some people on this forum have suggested you take proof of payment to the interview although they didn't ask us for it. we did get our...

we left from dorval airport where there is US immigration pre-clearance. everything happened right at the airport.

they didn't question the fact that my wife was a landed immigrant. they only asked her how many countries she had lived in. throughout the process 99% of the questions were directed to me. the consulate is at the corner of rene levesque and st. alexandre. there are numbers of hotels along...

just completed successful GC processing in montreal. the thread by jollykh seems to sum things up quite well. thokoo the lawyer told us to take 5 photos. we used 3; one for the medical, one at the consulate, and one at the POE. actually, i can't remember if the consulate took 1 or 2...

until quite recently the message had the old '...please wait 8 weeks for further instructions...'. right now it says '...case has been forwarded to montreal...'.

thanks, i guess i was expecting something more official looking.

can anyone describe what the appointment letter looks like, the OF-171? the appointment letter we have from the lawyer's looks like a photo copy of a letter from the NVC. its a letter with a bar code addressed to me with a date and time. it says 'please present this letter to the...

the address is hidden way inside P4 and is listed above in syriano's post. i think its actually mentioned in the medical section. although i don't have P4 in front of me i do remember a few things; -bar coded invitation letter (date, time, curiously lacking address) -instruction letter...

i'm probably worried about nothing, but with the interview less than 2 weeks away i have this lingering doubt. 4 years ago when i got my first TN i was turned back at the border and told to return when a NAFTA officer was available to review my case. the nature of this first border encounter was...

disregard my last message. packet 4 has just arrived.

can anyone comment on how long before the interview the P4 comes? so far we have nothing and its only 15 days until the interview

i didn't keep track of most of the dates so i didn't feel my input on cpTracker would be sufficient. i only know the P3 submission date through to the interview date. thokoo's response to the P4 package contents is consistent with what i have heard. i think there is also a medical form to...

Hi Thokoo, I wondered if you had your P4 package yet. It seems that for Montreal, the P4 comes only a couple weeks before the interview. Anyway, for those interested these are my details so far. P3 completed Oct 10 (took about 5 weeks) called NVC this morning, the automated message...

NVC processes montreal cases slightly differently resulting in a much longer time before the case is sent to the consulate. i belive montreal is considered an 'alpha plus' consulate meaning that the NVC does more of the clerical work for them. the time from P3 completion to interview date...
