Best route to getting familly to USA

[Wally2012 0]

I was born in Canada to an American citizen, my father. I am now 38 years old and have just recently applied for my first USA passport and it was granted, so I am officially an American citizen. I have been married for 10 years and have two children. I will be seeking employment in the USA in the near future and am wondering what is the best course of action to take in getting my family into the country. I have read about the K3/K4 visas but they seem to be geared for getting a family there quickly and then you have to apply for adjustments. Is there a more straight forward method, provided you have time to wait for the paper work to process?

Cheers and thanks

Follow the guides, you'll be petitioning for a IR1 visa, and since you'll petition for children as well, you'll need one petition per person.

K3/K4 visas are no longer, and have been since 2010

Good luck

**** Moving from Bringing Family to CR-1/ IR-1 visa forum as this is the path the OP must take ***

While the visa process will take the best part of a year, keep in mind as Canadians, your husband and kids can visit for up to 6 months at a time, should you decide to move before them/ find a job before then. If you decide to do it the other way around and gets the visas first, then all move together, be sure to read this thread in the Canada forum on proving US domicile, the US embassy in Canada is very strict about this: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/164618-proving-domicile-when-not-living-in-the-us/
