移民 有没有父母移民申请递到底特律的？

[happynov]

我妈妈的移民申请今年七月中旬递到底特律了。 想问问需要多长时间能拿到移民纸？多谢！

[happynov]

1 month before the sponsorship application was processed in Mississauga, I faxed a letter to Mississauga office asking to transfer the immigration application to Bufallo visa office. (the reason is my mom has stayed in canada more than a year before the immigration application). Later the Bufallo office transferred her case to Detroit office.

So if you want to send your parents's case to USA, they have to stay in Canada for at least 1 year before the immigration application.

Good luck to you too!

Thanks!

你可以看这个估算一下:

另外想问你, 是MISSISSAUGA 帮你转到那里的,还是他们给你的信中写的是北京VISA...

[happynov]

When the sponsorship was approved by Mississauga centre, the letter indicated that I can send the application to Buffalo visa office. I didn't wait for the application package from Mississauga. I downloaded the forms from CIC website specificially for the Buffalo visa office. Here is the link.

请问lz，那你妈妈的申请递到美国，加拿大移民局都要你妈妈的什么材料了？谢谢

[happynov]

I cannot remember them all. they asked for:

-copy of valid visa(s) - from the date of entering Canada
-your name, & client #;
- your parents name.
- indicate that you request to send the immigration application to Baffulo.

I sent a fax to Mississauga office.

Hope this will help.

请问你在资格担保批准前一个月写信给他们说父母在这边住够一年的情况时，需要提供什么证明吗，比如出入境复印件，还是他们能够查到这些信息呢？谢谢啊

[happynov]

I believe your parents should live in Canada for at least 1 year when the sponsorship is approved.

I think both of parents have to stay here, not only your mom.

作者: slblfb

谢谢分享信息, 请问能够递交美国BUFFLO是资格担保前几年内住满一年呢？我家人是去年住了一年，但资格担保要明年可能才下来。
另外，你申请的是父母２人吗？如果我申请父母２人，但填的爸爸是主申请人，妈妈在这边住够一年，不知道可以帝BUFFLO吗？

[happynov]

You are welcome.

Update: I received a letter from Detroit visa office yesterday asking me to provide my mom's passport to issue visa. Yahooooo! my mom will get landing paper in 2 weeks as the latest.

So if your parents can stay, that will be much faster than sending the case to Beijing or HK.

Good luck!

作者: slblfb

Yes, it helps a lot! Thank you very much! Really appreciate!

[happynov]

Detroit visa office sent a letter to us last Friday indicating that if the passport is submitted in person, it will be ready for pick-up in 10 business days. (I plan to submit in person) In an email from Detroit office, it mentioned that it would take a few days to get the visa if I mail in.

actually the visa office confirmed by email that if I submit the passport in person, I can get the passport with the visa back in the same day. So I will go to Detroit this week and get the visa done.

Good luck with your case.

作者: autumnkids

Hi, wondering how could you know your mom will get landing paper in 2 weeks? I mailed out my mom's passport to New York last week, there is no such ki...

[happynov]

Medical examination was done on Sept 8. here are the key dates for my mom's application for your reference.

July 5 2009 - sponsorship approved by Mississauga office;
July 15 2009 - submitted immigration application to Buffalo office
July 29 2009 - confirmation letter from Buffalo office with medical examination form asking to book an appointment in 3 months (Oct 29)
Aug 11 2009 - Buffalo office notified me that my mom's application has been transferred to Detroit office
Aug 29 2009- Detroit visa asked my mom to have medical examination ASAP & pay the landing fee
Sept 8 2009 - medical examination
Oct 23 2009 - got a letter from Detroit visa office asking for passport for visa issuance

I will hand in the passport in person this week and I was told I can get the visa in the same day.

We are lucky. It is much faster than I thought. Hope the above info would be help for some people who submitted to Detroit office.

Good luck to everyone!

没听楼主提到体检的事情就要求邮寄护照了,是不是还要体检?

[happynov]

I don't have it handy. It is in the first confirmation letter from Missisauga office (page 2 I remember). Check that letter please. Also, you can find teh fax # from the sponsorship guideline (CIC website ). If you still cannot find it, please let me know. I have to check my record.

Good luck!

谢谢楼主能给个你用的传真号吗?

[happynov]

Sorry I am in the office right now, No Chinese.

1. My mom was in Canada when the sponsorship was approved.
2. she just arrived in Canada when I submitted the sponsorship application. But this is not necessary. You can submit the sponsorship application if she is not here.
3. If you want to transfer her immigration application to USA after the sporship is approved, she must stay in Canada for at least 1 year when the sponsorship is approved (please double check the sponsorship application guideline. there is one clause about this)

4. I don't think that two-year stay in Canada will count as they have left already before the sponsorship is approved. They'd better stay in Canada 1 year before the sponsorship is approved. Then you can request to submit the immigration application to USA.

Here is the process:

- sponsorship application (no need in canada)
- 1 year stay in Canada waiting for sponsorship approval
- request CIC to transfer immigration applicaton to USA 1 month before sponsorship approval
-sponsorship approved
-sumbit to visa office in USA

Also, that 1-year stay will be counted as 0.5 year landing time. max to 1 year. i. e. my mom stayed in Canada for 3 years already, so CIC would regard her landing time ( Yi Min Jian ) as 1 year.

This is my experience. Hope this helps.

Good luck!

恭喜楼主!请问您的父母在sponsorship批下来时,在加拿大么? 您递交sponsorship时也在加拿大么? 想要转美国,是不是递交和批下都要在加,才可以? 我的父母在递交sponsorship申请时在加拿大,待了两年多回国, 是不是等要批时, 需要来加拿大才能转美国,谢谢

[happynov]

a. Yes. sponsorship 批下来的时候，老人要在加并且已经1年以上就可以要求把他们的移民申请转到美国了

b. yes, I checked the processing time on CIC website very often. 1 month before that estimated time, I faxed to Mississauga office asking to transfer the immigration application to US. I asked for Baffulo visa office and later Buffalo transferred my case to Detroit which is faster. I am not sure whether you can ask to transfer to Detroit directly (I guess you can). You can call CIC service line to check.

Good luck!

作者: liuycc

恭喜先！
嗯，谢谢耐心解释
就是说，sponsorship 批下来的时候，老人要在加并且已经1年以上就可以要求把他们的移民申请转到美国了

你提前一个月fax要求他们转美国，是怎么判断的，根据网上处理进程么？

[happynov]

Hello there,

Sorry. I guess I cannot help with your case re. your brother's situation. I think it depends on how old your brother is. Maybe if he is under 18, that should be ok. Can you please call CIC service line to check? I don't want to give you wrong info based on my guess.

Good luck!

我想问一下，我父母在这边已经住了一年，但是申请人还有我弟弟，他没有到加拿大来，能寄表去美国吗？非常期待回答，非常感谢先，若给个官方链接更好

[happynov]

Sorry I cannot find the link. I know some Chinese seniors that they stayed here at least one year when the sponsorships were approved. And when they got the immigration status and applied for citizenship, that 1 year counted for 0.5 years and max to 1 year.

If I find the link, I will post here.

作者: cynthia2000

谢谢楼主热心解答,请问这一条是在哪里看到的,能给个链接吗?

[happynov]

I just followed the application guideline of Detroit visa office (you can download from CIC website or Mississauga office would send you one copy of application package). The checklist gives you a clear clue of what to sumbit. here is the link of Buffalo's requirement. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E33048.PDF

I asked my sister to have all the required notaries done 2 months before the sonsorship approval. I remember somewhere mentioned that the police certificate & clearnance (no crimal record) must be within 6 months before submission. I think it is better to have these notaries done at most 6 months before the sponsorship approval.

My understanding is if they submit their immigration application in Canada, they must have their health checkup in Canada too. My mom was asked to have health checkup 1.5 months after application submission. I think if your parents go back to China, they have to come back for the health checkup. If they ask for health checkup in China, their case may be transferred back to China. I heard this from a friend.

请问LZ, 你submit application to US 时都要补充什么材料？是不是要父母把这些材料都在中国做好带过来之后再submit to US? 在他们的申请交到us后，他们可以回中国吗?
Thx

[happynov]

Item 3 refers to any child under 18 years old who will accompany with your parents to immigrate to Canada. If only parents immigrate to Canada, you don't need to look at this item 3.

But you do need to provide your birth certifcate notary to Buffalo indicating your DOB and your parents' names. This is for item 5 - proof of relationship in Canada.

作者: fat chicken

LZmm, what does Children’s birth certificates (Item 3 in the Visa Office Specific Instructions of Buffalo) mean? Is that your birth certificate?

Wi...

Sorry I don't know. Call CIC service line to check.

Good luck!

如果 我已经把移民申请递交北京, 但父母符合递交US的确条件 , 能转吗?

[happynov]

Yes, I have to say that I am lucky. I was surprised too. But the website doesn't have Detroit visa office. That is why I posted my question here. My case was transferred from Baffulo. I am not sure how long it takes in Baffulo. 2 years ago two friends' parents applied in Baffulo and all got their landing paper within 5 months.

作者: gitana

还有, 你的CASE 总共只用了3 个月左右的时间, 和网上登的进程相差也很大啊(网上说不过10到17个月啊),怎么会这样呢?

[happynov]

Baffulo office transferred my case to Detroit directly and notified me by mail.

When I sent my request to Mississauga asking for transferring the immigration application to Baffulo, I didn't know that Detroit can also process the immigration cases. and I have never heard of anyone who submitted their cases to Detroit. So I assume that Detroit visa office is a new location to process immigration cases. You can check with CIC service line.

Good luck!

作者: liuycc

再问下，你打电话去Baffulo follow up的时候，得知父母的申请已被他们转到Detroit, 不是你自己要求转过去的是么？
是不是常理，加拿大境内移民申请的都是要递到Baffulo的

[happynov]

Glad that I can provide some useful information.

Q1 - 我母亲现住加拿大快2年了,但她的签证已经过期了,我们是在她签证到期的前1个月申请的延期,但至今为止尚未收到延签或是拒签信;同时她的担保申请应该快下来了(2007年3月15日递交的)我也想把她的移民申请转到美国,以你的经验,你看我们可以吗?
My situation was the same as yours when I asked to transfer her case to Baffulo. My mom's visa extension was not approved yet. As long as you applied for the visa extension, your mom is staying in Canada legally. NO problem. So you are qualified to request processing immigration application in USA.

What I did in the letter to the Mississauga office was:

1. provid all the visa copies to the M Office;
2. plus the visa extension application fee receipt (CIC receipt) (it was dated of your payment)
3. indicate clearly in the letter that you have submitted the visa extension on the date of xxx, and is still waiting for the visa approval. I also provided a copy of the processing time table from CIC website. You will need to send the copy of the new visa when it arrives.

Q2 - 再有你父母申请移民时候的未受刑事处
My sister obtained a police certificate from police statement and used it to get a notary document. My mom was not asked to provide finger print as she was in Canada. My sister got all the notary doc in China by herself.

Hope this will help.

Good luck!

[happynov]

I only provided one notary document. I don't think you need anything from Canadian police. Check the guideline. I remember it was mentioned about the police cerficate.

Good luck!

非常感谢楼主的信息,谢谢!
顺便请问,当你递交申请材料的时候,应该是两份未刑材料吧? 一份是在国内做了公证的;另一份是在加拿大警察局做的,对吧?谢谢!
