So it took a little longer than what I thought to get all of our plans in place, but I've finally sent in the I-130 and USCIS received it at the Chicago Lockbox. Here's to hoping for a quick approval! My wife is set to begin work on August 1 and we are going to FL July 16 - July 29 so I can help her move into our new place. It's pretty exciting, but sad that we have to be apart. Oh well, maybe I can save up a lot of money living on my own for a bit. Just trying to look at the bright side of things. I can't wait to be there with her and have everything in the past already; on the other hand, I might enjoy this for a few months to take the time to get fit and pay off all of our debt. We have a truck (a.k.a. Alberta Limosine) loan that would be nice to get rid of.

Yes you have to have the medical by a US civil surgeon in Canada. You can go to Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal. All CR-1 or IR-1 spousal visas go through Montreal. My husband is in Calgary and we to

USCIS information line is notoriously wrong. The DOS link here: Can The Medical be done in the US? We tried to get my husband his medical at a civil surgeon in Johnson City, TN during his visit at C

Well, it's about 4.5 months later and still no word on the I-130 approval. Apparently the auto-expedite queue isn't applicable to Canadians. Hopefully I'll hear something soon! It seems that Canadians are being approved within 5-6 months (a similar approval timeline for others), so maybe I'll be approved by mid-November! It's almost my birthday (Nov 4)! I hope I get a happy birthday present from USCIS soon! :)

Here's to hoping for a short wait. :clock::no:
