Let me just get this straight

[Seiren 0]

I'm an american living in Canada with my canadian spouse.

I just want to make sure of what the very first thing I do is:

File the I-130 to Vermont?

Wait for the receipt?

Then file the I-129f to chicago with the receipt?

Is that correct?

What I don't understand is where the medical thing comes in. How do you know what to do?

Medical comes before the interview.

You should check to see if you as the USC must have a US domicile to file for a spousal visa.

Good luck.

You will need a US address in order to file with Vermont. You must also be within their jurisdiction.

If you are a legal resident of Canada, then file directly with the US Consulate there and process there. You will still need a US domocile and US income in order to do this. Medical is before the interviews. The US Consulate wil tell you when and which doctors.

desert_fox,

Living in Canada, she is in the jurisdiction of the VSC. But I agree that DCF might be the better option if she qualifies.

I'm pretty sure I won't qualify for DCF, but I'm wondering, for the I-130, do I need to put my American address (being my parents- I still have bank ties and such to there) or my current canadian one?

Seiren,

I would put my own address where I am residing, if I were you. That's the address that qualifies you to use the VSC.

Right, I'm putting the Canadian one.

Seiren,

I would first visit the nearest US consulate and confirm that they would not accept my I-130 for processing.
