  1. Hello all, Several years ago I started my immigration journey to the states and a year and a halfish ago I became a US citizen (now ha e dual canadian/us) via a marriage green card! My husband is a US citizen. As we are looking to start a family, we are considering moving to Nova Scotia where my family is, as housing is affordable and we want to be near my family as we have kids. But the process to essentially start all over again in a different country with immigration is so daunting. 1. Does anyone know what the immigration process would be like for my husband? I'm curious how he would work (as he is the main breadwinner) while in the immigration process of a marriage based citizenship. 2. He works for himself, also curious how that would be impacted by moving countries/immigrating. Starting his business again on the other coast. 3. What's the timeline right now to become a Canadian citizen? 4. Anything else you think would be helpful advice or knowledge when reading about our situation? Helpful answers would be so appreciated, from one human to another. Thanks!
  2. Hello all, Years ago I started my immigration journey to the states and a year and a halfish ago I became a US citizen (now ha e dual canadian/us) via a marriage green card! My husband is a US citizen. As we are looking to start a family, we are considering moving to Nova Scotia where my family is, as housing is affordable and we want to be near my family as we have kids. This website seems to be US based only, but does anyone have any knowledge on the following questions or point me towards someone/a website who does? I've looked into lawyers and even the cheapest ones are so unaffordable. Money is really tight right now for us. 1. If I move back to Canada, will I lose my US citizenship? 2. Most importantly, the process to essentially start all over again in a different country with immigration is so daunting. This website was enormously helpful and there doesn't seem to be anything like this for people moving to Canada. Does anyone know what the immigration process would be like for my husband? I'm curious how he would work (as he is the main breadwinner) and what the steps to apply for marriage based Canadian citizenship would be like for him. 3. He works for himself, also curious how that would be impacted by moving countries/immigrating. Starting his business again on the other coast. 4. How does this work with his US citizenship- does the US gov really care that much or could he have both? I am sorry if this is totally the wrong place for this. I'm just so lost and anxious and this site was such a saving grace for me before. Helpful answers would be so appreciated, from one human to another. Thanks!
  3. Dears Our priority date is current since last July, still waiting for an interview appintment. Usually how long it takes to schedule interviews for F3? months or years? Thanks
  4. Hi there, my wife filed an petition for me last march. We received the NOTICE OF ACTION (Form I-797C) in march, which stated that they received the form and its processing. Later on within a week we received another letter which stated some login credentials for USCIS account and told us to activate the USCIS account. As required, we activated the account. Now I would like to know what's the next step? Its been a couple of months and still we didn't received any update. Please note the priority date is 17th March 2021 and the petitioner is a US citizen and visa type is CR1.
  5. Hello, I am a u.s citizen and so is our child he has his report birth abroad and u.s passport my wife is Icelandic. we are filing a I-864 and we are using a joint sponsor to support us on a separate I-864 QUESTIONS 1.As the primary sponsor to my wife since my child is a u.s citizen do I still need to add his info under Part 3 family member 1. 2. On my joint sponsors i-864 do I have to list myself and my child under part 3 as derivatives to my wife? I wouldn't imagine i need to since me and my son are both u.s citizens and not aliens. 3. Do i still need to fill out an I-864W for my son even if hes a u.s citizen no SSN yet but has u.s passport and report birth abroad. We are filing at our local embassy. Thanks for any clarification Very respectfully Pat
  6. Came to the USA at age 14 in 1998, and have been here since then. I came with an uncle not really knowing where we were going since parents and grandparents could not take care of me. I got married with a US citizen in 2009 and have been married since then. I need guidance in what to do to make the process easier since learning that I might have to leave the country is freaking me out. I have four children who I am a stay at home father to and a kid with disabilities which requires my attention. I need to learn what past laws can protect me since I came here at a young age without having truly a choice. Please help, I need to help my wife in work and such since everything is expensive. Thank you, have a great day. Came from Mexico
  7. The situation: my gf is a US citizen, and I’m Ecuadorian. We have a 4 year relationship, and right now we both live in Argentina. We are both currently at university. We want to get married, so we can travel and live in the US. We don’t know what’s better for us, the K1 or the CR1. Our main doubt is: Can we still do this even if we both live in Argentina, and we want to travel to the states? Sadly I let my B1/B2 expire, and because of the pandemic I haven’t renewed it. I paid the $160 fee por Ds160 and have my interview due tomorrow, in my country (Ecuador) but I won’t be able to show up because of my schedule (I’m mentioning this because I need to know if losing a visa appointment could give someone a bad record or something like that) We are both 21 y/o. She has double nationality (US and Ecuadorian) We met in high school and came to ARG to study, and last year she spent almost 9 months in US working. Would she need her payment stubs or something like that? Does she has to be obligatory in the US for whatever process we want to make? I heard about a Joint financial sponsor. This person has to be member of her or my family? Or can it be whatever person that volunteers? What’s the best option for us? How much time can it take for us to live in US together and for me to get the green card?
  8. I received an email from NVC regarding my immigrant (EB2) visa application that they have verified my civil documents and now I have to wait for my interview to be scheduled for me. Is there any way I can find out how long do I have to approximately wait for that? I live in New Zealand (Auckland). Cheers
  9. Hi all.. I have a question and i realized it just now 🥺 So, i was pregnant when we submitted the I-864 (affidavit of support) for the immigrant visa application while completing all the required documents and i did not included my unborn child yet in the form and now i gave birth this month and our cases still at NVC.. Is this a big problem for us?. Before our household count is 3 that’s what I put in the form but now we are 4 .. Do i have to take an action about this?. Do i need to inform the NVC about this and tell them that we have a plus one in our household?. Help please! Thank you! 🙏🏼
  10. Hi Folks, I am a U.S. citizen and I petitioned (IR-5 visa) both my parents. Both my parents completed their medical exam at SLEC Manila a couple of years ago just right before COVID-19 and the lockdown in the Philippines. My mother passed her medical exam but my father did not because he tested positive for tuberculosis (TB). As a result he received a letter from the Embassy of the US in Manila. On the letter it says this: We never applied for a waiver. My father completed his tuberculosis (TB) treatment with a doctor in Angeles City, Pampanga (not in SLEC Manila). We decided not to do the treatment at SLEC Manila because at the time COVID-19 was at its peak. He now has his TB treatment report (as proof he no longer has TB) which he can provide the panel physician during his medical examination (still to be scheduled at SLEC Manila as of 7/24/2022). Here's where I am at with my parents: SLEC Manila Medical Exam - appointment to be scheduled for medical examination (no walk-ins available as of 7/24/22) Immigrant Visa Interview - appointment on 8/2/22 Here are my questions and I am really hoping to get some answers/opinions/suggestions: Did I the do right thing by not applying for a waiver but having my father complete his TB treatment instead? If so, can I schedule his medical examination at SLEC Manila and have him provide his TB treatment report to the panel physician, in preparation for his immigrant visa interview on 8/2/2022? Otherwise, what should have I done? Source regarding positive TB skin test (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/medical-examination-faqs.html): Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

  12. I know as an new immigrant (ir1) we don’t need to provide proof of vaccination to travel to USA. But if the airline company is insisting on the proof of vaccination, what I can do or show to convince them that this is not a requirement for me to travel to USA. I have a flight in 5 hours.
  13. Hello, is it that US citizen filing for their child application faster than PR holder because I was told that currently those that are being granted for interview are family preferences that was DQ in February 2020 while immediate relatives that are being called in for interview is those that were DQ in January 2022. my case is with the US embassy Montreal and they told me that. My mom is due for her citizenship but hasn’t filed for it yet, is it advisable for her to go ahead and put in her application for my sake?
  14. Good morning/afternoon fam. I was living in Ukraine before and due to the ongoing war, I came back to my home country (Nigeria). This morning, we got a notice from the NVC about a change of Interview location to Frankfurt in Germany.

  15. Hi all, my wife has an O-1 Visa and her company is sponsoring her a new EB-1 Visa (the company lawyer said us that the new Visa will be ready before July 2022). I noticed that this Visa is a an employment-based green card and that if her I-140 petition is approved, his spouse may be eligible to apply for admission to the United States in E-14 immigrant status. We are living in US and I have an O-3 Visa (as spouse of an O-1 Visa holder) that expires in July 2022. Do you known how is the process to get a E-14 immigrant status and what does it means? What are the next steps to get a Visa? If my O-3 Visa expires do I have to leave the US? Thanks to all.
  16. Hi there my cr1 interview is in about two weeks. But right now I am confused about the additional documents that I can include in files for the interview day. I have collected all the documents according to the usual guidelines. But since it’s an expedite case on medical case I have included the doctors reference letters and expedite email approval in my files. If anyone can suggest what other documents can I include in my file would be really helpful. Also if I should follow any sequence for documents while arranging my file for the interview day. thanks in advance
