Wife of lpr

[BeataO 2]

Hello, I have 3 question if anyone can answer please. I'm the beneficiary of lpr , got my NOA1 on March 14 2014, Vermont Service Center.

My husband lives in USA. Me and my USC 6 year old daughter are overseas waiting for my I-130 approval. I have a 10 year ban and have to file I-601 and I-212, is anyone in similar situation as mine and know how long the overall process take?

Will sending my daughter to USA to my husband speed up the process for me in any way?

Will I be able to get a tourist visa to Canada while I-130 is pending? so my husband can drive from USA to Canada and visit me and my daughter in Canada (he can't come and visit us overseas, because of his job and because he is taking care of his father do to heart operation)

Thank you any information is appreciated.

Thank you Boiler

If anyone is or was in the same situation as me and my family, please share your experience. Thank you.

I do not think Polish citizens are required to have a visa to visit Canada.

Using your child as some sort of pawn in order to sway some decision is not likely to work....(USCIS frowns on that sort of thing)...cannot say anything regarding Canada...the process cannot even begin until the I-130 is approved and you are scheduled for an interview...after that, it could take 5-8 months on average.

Thanks for the reply, and no I'm not using my child for anything, not for any pawn like you said (wonder why you might think like that?). My child father is there and she misses him, so it was just a sort of question that came to my mind in the event that my child will go and stay with Daddy, a family that have a child wants to be reunited as soon as they can so the child won't suffer so much, if you can understand that, that's all , thanks.

Child can probably visit without issues.

Or move first as the process will be much quicker.

you asked if sending your child to the US would somehow speed things up for you...which suggests using the child for some other reason....that's a perfect description of a pawn. Her presence or not in the US will not change the time it takes for the process to churn on its own.

Meybe I didn't put my question the way I wanted to sound. What I meant was , if sending my child to father because she misses him so much will make anything faster for me so I can be there for her as well and she won't miss me. I can wait the time that I have to, like any one else here, but kids don't understand and they suffer when they miss their parents.

Hi Beata, can I ask to you why you have a 10 year ban? you have overstayed?

[Bertoli 16]

MY understanding is that Visajourney is a site where people can help each others with immigration process, issues and experiences. Why are some members posting comments to judge what others want to do as if they have a say or a decision to make in what others are trying to do? If you can help or suggest something that is fine otherwise don't judge people or lecture them on what is moral or not!

Beatao, you don't have to justify yourself why you want to send your daughter to be with her dad in the US. Members should either help you answer your question or simply mind their own business!!!

The embassy will have to deny your F2A visa first, before you can file for a waiver. Since F2A has retrogressed, no one can give you a definite timeline. It could take a year or more to get an embassy interview PLUS the time they will approve your waiver (if they ever approve it). Overstay by relatives of LPRs, as far as I know, is not forgivable.

Sending your child to the US is neither beneficial to your case.

As for Canada, you will have to check their website for tourist visa application.

Thanks apple, so you are saying that I will have to wait until my husband becomes USC to be able to comeback home to US?
