ONLY - Who submitted CIC-AINP(SRS-U.S. Visa Holder Category) application

[nomad_musafir]

akk,

i feel for you. hang in there buddy!

1. I am stuck here for last 3 months and no idea whether they have transferred my case to NY (probability is high as I live in New York).

2. My FBI fingerprints are in my apartment in the US and the apartment keys are here with me.

nataraj,
it looks like you are almost there. it is really commendable how you have managed to keep focused on the cic process despite all the hurdles. hope everything works out for you.

my 2 cents regarding your post:
1. it looks like they are transferring everbody's ainp-h1b cases to ny.
2. i am confused - why did you not submit the fbi fingerprints along with your cic application? since you have been out of the country for past 3 months, the certificate is almost certainly expired. how do you plan on getting  a fresh set of your fingerprints done?

good luck!

Thank you sooooo much for your reply. I feel so sorry for your situation!! Thanks for your advice, I hope my AOR arrives this week. It has been 2 months and a half now, and I lost my job this week, friday wil be my last day, my employer will not report me, but staying here is a waste of money for me. I just need medicals to leave........................sooo frustrating...

Hi Akk, sorry to hear that... if you have been waiting for 2 1/2 months that means that your AOR will be mailed soon along with the medicals....
good luck!!

Probably CIC is getting more applications courtesy of AINP H1B. And given the economic situation in Canada they might be slowing it down.

 @ akk
You can try arranging some one to check the mails for you if you don't get it by this month end just like dna did. But find a more reliable person.

Thanks for the advice....but can't do that, the anxiety would be worse...
I am going to write an email to buffalo, hoope the answer.

Akk,

This is what you can do:

1) Open a PO Box with your local post office. I think the minimum required period for a PO Box is 6 months. It is not very expensive - s/b around $50.00 for 6 months.

2) Forward all your mails to this PO box address.

3) Give the PO box key to your friend. Ask him to collect the mails once in 2 weeks (or at his convenience). Remember they are small and gets filled pretty soon.

4) Advice him which ones to send to your home country.

This way you will receive all your important mails forwarded to you. But the important factor here is - YOU NEED A FRIEND WHO CAN DO THIS FOR YOU.

The PO box will be automatically cancelled if you do not renew it.

Hope this helps...

Hi Akk,

Sorry to hear about your job. Have you considered changing to visitor/student visa in the US or getting a TRV for Canada? At least you will be in the US/Canada till your CIC paperwork, etc. is complete.

No, because I just want the AOR and medicals to be able to leave US. I tried to get an employer in Canda, with no success at all.
I could be here until the end of the year (when my H1B expires), since my employer will not report me, but I don't want to, and even if I wanted, I don't have money to support myself for too long...
Just went to the mail box, and nothing yet...I am going to write an email to Buffalo today.

Thanks about your suggestion AlbertaAINP, I will wait this week and the next one, hope I don't need to create the PO box address....

Hello,
Does anyone has any slightest idea on the time period Canadian Immigration will provide to guys to move all stuff from US to Canada once all the process is complete? I mean if I get PR (just dreaming and thinking ahead of time.. :) ) and they told me to fly to Alberta, How much time do I have to wrap my things up (house, car, any other belongings.. etc..).

Is it 3 months or 2 months or 15 days?

[bendjoe]

Is it 3 months or 2 months or 15 days?

Mostly btw 6-12 months.

[cchabert]

My brother in law get 3 months to land, maybe it depends when your medicals expire (they last one year)

[Ell.Bee]

That is correct. The medicals have a validity of 1 year. So they stamp the immigrant visa with a validty from 1 year from the day you done your medicals.

[vsrao]

Thanks for your inputs........

[akk]

So why do they say you would have 2 years to land (if your medicals are only valid for one year)? Maybe it is not related to medicals...
I read the "2 year landing" on Alberta or CIC website...don't know which one was it....

Akk
