FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

Hi Namaste,

Whatever you have written is absolutely wrong..

If you are on I94 and you leave USA you can never go back unless you get a new Visa stamped.. I am 500% sure.. Visa and I94 are two separate things for US.. To enter US you need valid un-expired visa and you are legal to stay as long as the I-94 is valid... Let me explain with an example.. If you have a valid visa till 2017 and on I-94 if the date is December-2015 then you must leave US by end of 2015 or get your I94 extended.. The vice versa of this is also true.. If your visa expires but you have a valid I94 then you are legal to stay till I94 validity date but when the moment you leave US you need a valid visa to re-enter.. There is no role of I94 at the time of entry but it does in exiting.. So I would suggest "Dream of Canada" that you just utilize your I94 till March 2015 or even till August/September 2015 and whenever you are ready to move to Canada on PR you can go as it will be valid for one year... hope I am clear...
I have fair idea of US L1 Visa and I-94 ... Let me know if there is still any confusion..

[size=10pt][size=10pt]You ARE WRONG!!!! Check "automatic visa revalidation" or AVR rules. Even with an expired visa, you can enter the US with a valid I-94 if you went to a country or island contiguous to the US (that is, to Canada, Mexico etc). Do your research before proving someone wrong. Here's the official information from US department of State:[/size][/size]

Dear Seniors,

pls guide if you have any suggestion for me on my below query. whether I should apply or not with below condition for canada pr?
===============================================================================
I need your advise on following question in schedule A form.

been refused refugee status, an immigrant or permanent resident visa or application to the provincial nominee program or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?

I got my h1b visa refused in past from USA and also PR application for Australia rejected almost 5 years back. It was rejection to application for skilled worker, not denial of entry at border. I read, some mentioned tht you should check the box only if entry denied at border/entry point to the country. So i am confused.

Do I need to select this checkbox and provide information on both or none or for refusal of Australia PR.

What do you think - would it impact the canada pr application evaluation?

Appreciate your expert advise on this.

Unless you want to jeopardise your application don't give unnecessary information .

Hi seniors,

Sorry to bother u guys again.

Another query: my appointment letter or reference letter DOESNT specifically state the number of hours worked per week, although it is a full time job. Appointment letter states: "working days- company works in a 24*7 environment and hence you may have rotational shifts depending on your role. The working days shall be 6working days". It says nothing about the hours.

Is that going to be a problem??

If yes, can I send in a new reference letter??
And if how do i make them relate the new reference letter to my existing app that they received on 11th sep as i dont have any reference number till now. I mean what all details do i mention on the covering letter on new courier?? Also Will new courier be on time or the existing app will be rejected before that. ??

Unless it's mentioned it's a "part time job" cic will take it as full time / regular job .

Well, actually sometimes if there are many people accessing the google doc, it opens in plain HTML format which does not give option to File. Try around IST midnight, traffic is low, and you should be lucky

Ah!! Saps, thanks for that. I was always intrigued. Sometimes it just opens in a html and sometimes in downloadable format. So, no. of people accessing this is the reason for this behavior is it?

Thanks for the info.

I think, he should select YES else could get dropped into deep sh1t.

There is anti-fraud alliance among embassies through which CIC can easily detect any past refusal information - it could lead to at least 2 years banned for misrepresentation.

Agree with you Century. More so with between Countries like Australia, UK, Canada, NZ, etc.

pls urgent

a friend of mine wants to apply(she has her maiden name on her passport) which does nt expire till 2016, she is the principal applicant but she has all other documents for change of name. wat name should she use in filling the forms...is it her maiden name or her married name with all legal documents of change of name.

 

[Century]

Yes, if concurrent user is more than 49 users, from 50th user, the google spreadsheet turned into HTML.

So you have to wait for any of the 1 to 49 user to log out. This cause tremendous problem for admin to do update if there are 49 user already logged in.

So, if someone don't need to logged into spreadsheet after viewing relevant information, please log out for other users to view and specially for admin to edit spreadsheet.

Ah!! Saps, thanks for that. I was always intrigued. Sometimes it just ones in a html and sometimes in downloadable format. So, no. of people accessing this is the reason for this behavior is it?

Thanks for the info.

Hi,
What about NOC 2173, As I am 25 August Applicant , would I be within the CAP1000?
When will I get a reply from CIC?

 

[Century]

Maiden name.

But note that she will fill it up as surname. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=014&t=4

If you do not have a surname on your passport, travel or identity document, enter all your given name(s) in the surname field, write “not applicable” or “N/A” in the given name field.

Also in the field of other name, let her fill those name accordingly. Also asked her to add a cover letter to explain all.

Appreciate your expert advise on this.

Based on the above statement, It seems that you would need to mention the rejection from Australia because of the part highlighted in red. You are asked to mention not only visa refusal but also refusal of any application for permanent residency that you make.

You should also mention the H1b refusal because of the part highlighted in Green. H1b is a temporary resident visa.

All the best

Thanks.

Few queries though:

1) I had submitted PCC from Indian High Commission in Brunei. Will I be asked to submit any other PCC at a later stage?
2) I had submitted Bank Balance Certificate in my application. Will I be asked to submit any fund proof at a later stage?

Pls clarify. Thanks
