    You never ever send your passport to the USCIS. Never ever. They always send copies of the passport.

    Landed Immigrants: Share Landing, Job hunt, house hunt & other experience

    Starting car insurance (comprehensive) can be as high as $ 400 per month. If you buy a car by making payments towards a loan, you have no choice but to buy comprehensive insurance. However, if you make full payment for the car, you can purchase only liability, which will then be much lower.

    That was fast. We completed our medicals on April 29th and they were sent on May 3rd, received by Ottawa on May 4th. My case status still shows "In Process".

    Wow! See, they need to create more positions to keep Canadians employed. So there will be a person to scan it, and another one to send them off. A month to transmit some medica records is crazy in this day and age when information moves within hours between departments. No wonder the number of...

    Hi Pro1 No they do not ask for any police clearances. They just call you for Biometrics, which includes Fingerprinting and photographs, which are sent to the FBI. FBI does the name check and the fingerprint scans to see for any criminal records and passes on the information to USCIS. If all...

    If you do not disclose the change in family composition, your PR card will be denied once they come to know about it.

    Hey guys, I guess I will not going to Canada after all. Our US greencards were processed in a record 5 months 4 days. We got the welcome notices by email with hard copies and the cards to follow. I am planning to send a letter to the Detroit consulate to withdraw my application. It was very...

    You’re lucky you had to pay less than 250 for the medicals. We “unfortunate” ones in the US pay more than 400 per person just for the medicals!! But it’s all a part of the game. Good luck with the rest of the processing.
