The Move in Progress

We’ve got some big things checked off our list, but there’s a lot more.

Done:

-Opened US account through RBC
-Cancelled our trip to Spain/Morocco as I am not allow to get out of the US for a while :(
-Received our immigration papers from the lawyer
-Booked a vet appointment for Kinki

In progress:

-Select a moving company. I never thought moving would be so complicated. I just wish we could sell everything and go! It’ll take approximately 2-3 weeks to get our stuff down there. Before the moving truck crosses the US, we need to be in the US with our visas in hand. What are we going to do for three weeks? Air mattress and sleeping bag it is!
-Research immigration requirements for Kinki

To do:

-Sell condo & car
-Talk to lawyer and prepare for immigration interview (3-5 hrs we were told)
-Booked our one-way flights
-Rent a place in SF (through email!)

Moving can be such a PITA... hopefully the interview goes smoothly, and you can find a decent company to move your belongings.

When are you aiming to leave for the US?

May 1st
:-O

We're only looking into big companies with experience moving between Canada and the US. Stressful stuff I tell ya!

That thing about being in the US before the moving truck, is a myth. That's what my sister was told also when she moved to Hawaii. They didn't have to be.

Anyway, sounds like things are progressing. And Holy Heck May 1st is coming up fast.

What's the scoop about that rule? That's what the moving company told us... Can we do anyting?

Here's the scoop on the moving thing. My sister said as long as you have vacated your house, then that's good enough. They had vacated their house and therefore did not have a Canadian address anymore. The moving truck left their house two weeks before they actually went to the US. (it had to it takes a bloody long time to ship stuff to LA and then to Hawaii)
