Go to the FBI website https://www.edo.cjis.gov/#/ and complete the electronic application. You will then find someone in Canada (Just google who can do this in your area) who can take your fingerprints using the form provided on the website (printed on standard white card stock). Mail that in...

It sounds like they prepared everything the same way as an online account. They don't always know what they are doing at the FedEx stores (since they don't come across this often), so that's why I did mine online. As long as there was an international shipping label created that had the CIC...

Your wife would have to meet the residency requirement of being physically present in Canada 2 years in a 5-year period. There is no minimum amount of time she would have to stay there before leaving the country after becoming a PR. Are you a Canadian citizen? If so, any time she spent outside...

They probably extended the expiration date on your medical exam. If you are close to approval, they will extend it sometimes. Otherwise, they will send you a request to have another one done soon.

Not everyone gets their file transferred. Some will stay in Mississauga, so don't worry!

Yes, the online request provides you with the same report and is accepted. Just print it out and send it in.

So, you are going to remain in Canada while the I-130 is filed? I'm a little confused because the I-485 is for an adjustment of status for someone who is already legally in the US and will remain there while the application is processed (this is similar to the Canadian inland process). This...

On some cruise lines, I know that you actually have to be married at the courthouse or in a civil ceremony before you embark on the ship. Your "wedding" on the ship is really a vow renewal since you are already legally married before the cruise. This is because the ship operates in international...

Straightforward outland US applications with no red flags will be processed around 6 months, or sometimes less. These go through Mississauga, with the actual passport request coming from Ottawa. I think in your case applying outland would be the best option and give you the most flexibility. He...

You're welcome! So glad it all worked out for you!

Congrats!! So happy for you!

It's the name that matches your passport.

Yes, you should get your son's citizenship. He will not need to be sponsored. There are no minimum financial requirements for spousal sponsorship, so it doesn't matter who makes more. You just have to be able to show that you can financially support yourselves and that you won't go on social...

If she doesn't plan to stay, you do not need a K-1 visa. That is an immigrant visa. She should come over as a visitor (no visa necessary if she is a Canadian citizen). Once you get married and she returns home, she can apply for your PR. She should not announce her intentions at the border to...

Yes, this is possible. Mine changed to application approved the day they issued the visa. I found an email address for CPC Ottawa on my old papers. It is CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca. You could ask them if they received your documents and explain your situation again.That would probably get you a...
