I tried to escape... and I am still in the GWN!



Because I entered the USA in 97 with a TN-1 Visa (NAFTA) that lasted 2
years, then I left for 10 months waiting for my K3 (life act) visa. Got that
but its only good for 2 years, the renewal for this visa and my work permit
have been in process for over 4 months now (started it 3 months prior to end
of visa/permit expiry time as advise by INS to do so) but yet to receive the
renewal papers telling me to pick up K3 visa.) But now I am in Montr?al
under the Alien Immigration Visa (once landed I will change the status to
Landed alien immigration visa (yet another 1500$) and I will be good for 10
years in the USA.

If you have been here since 1997 why haven't you become a US Citizen??

Well... its official US INS SUCKS ASS BIG TIME!

 

Got to Canada on a 11 day warning, got my 200$ medical (cough
 good

here is
your certificate) and waited patiently 4 days in -22?c freezing weather
to
acquiest the stupid immigration request that I present myself 1800 Miles
away from my home to get an Alien Immigrant Visa.

 

Have an appointment at 8.30
 waited 4 hrs to see someone, to be told we
should of brought (not that any of the provided documentation sent to me
indicated any need for these documents) 2002 tax returns and pay stub
for
2003 to prove my wife can ?support? me being in the us (though I have
been
in Texas since early 1997 working full time all this time, and they
acknowledge knowing I have been working self-supporting myself and my
wife
all this time) 

 

So we say fine, well just drive home , mail the request data to them
from
texas and they can MAIL us the damn visa (as per the new documents given
to
us as they asked us to leave the embassy) and load the jeep and head to
the
?La Cole? New-York/Canada drive-thru customs


 

Please pull to immigration office # 3 well just do some paper work
.
Yeah
sure
 wait 2 hrs
 sorry you cannot enter the country


 

The reason?

Because I am married to an American citizen I MUST wait for a visa to
get
back in
  (Like that makes ANY sense)

 

Drove back to my parents in Montr?al
 where we are getting stuff faxed
and
FedEx overnight to us from Texas (yeas our income taxes are in Texas

not
the usual item to bring on a 1 week vacation to Canada
) and we shall
try
our hand at the embassy a second time around Monday
