Can the child still visit while the I130 is processing? My daughter wants to move here ( she is 12) I am the LPR. I understand my husband can file for the I130. But I heard it's taking a long time for this to process. During this time can she come visit us . She visits us 4 times a year. ( she's from canada).
Also, once the I130 is approved do you have 6 months to use it like the K-1 or is there no time limit? I really don't want to pull her out of school part way thru the year.

Consider moving this to the Canadian forum Raphael...I think you'll find some experienced responses there from friendly folks
I can't offer an opinion since my daughter travelled with me on a K1.
Cheers
