Hello All,

I have a question regarding Proof of funds letters from financial institutions.

I am with chase and I do not have any chase bank ( physical location) in my state. I have to travel 4 to 5 hours to get to the nearest one. Do I need to get a letter from them saying that my current balance and my average six month balance or just the statements which I can get from my online account?

Thanks in advace
ok buddy, do one think /./ call up your bank , you don have to go... most of banks can do this over call

Does anyone know how or where to ask cic to provide extension for submitting passports for stamping?
After ready for visa email they are asking to send passports within 30 days but we have a planned trip to home country so need extension.

Please help.

Yeah but the problem is my H1B already expired and I am on EAD (Green card processing). So how would they know that I am here legally
They just use the passport visas/travel stamps to determine/verify your travel history. There is no checklist item asking for proof of legal status.

It should say somewhere at the top of your PPR email something like "if you can't meet this deadline please email us immediately at [visa office email here]". Email them and explain your situation.

Hi guys,
Does anybody know what happens if it's already been one year after the medical when you get the PPR? How much time do you have to land?

Finally got PPR after 8 long months. :) After my experience, I would really recommend ordering GCMS notes if several months have passed and you haven't seen any updates on your application. After getting my notes I saw that my application had been flagged for review because my employment history was "broken up," showing 4 years of eleven months of work (I'm a teacher.) I sent a CSE explaining how the school year and teacher contracts work, and we got the PPR email shortly after I received the email acknowledging the CSE.

Printed/saved online statements is all you need. Make sure they are in color

Hi folks,

So I am finally moving from the US in a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me if I should take any records with me? Friends have advised me to get my driving record from the DMV and my credit reports. Do I need to get anything else?

Thanks in advance.

@Nqur, I'm taking along my transcripts, degrees and other professional documents just in case. Have you figured out housing? I'm going with airbnb for the first few weeks, since most properties I've reached out to need an employment letter.
