After receiving IR-1:

  1. When does the IMMIGRATING SPOUSE no longer have provincial health coverage? (Aug 22 or Aug 23?)
  2. When does the US CITIZEN SPOUSE no longer have provincial health coverage? (same as immigrating spouse or date of physical relocation?)
  3. When do the CHILDREN no longer have provincial health coverage?

--Using the following dates--

  • Currently resident in Canada
  • Aug. 22, 2022 - Endorse IR-1 (I-551)
  • Nov. 10, 2022 - Physically move to US as a family

 

It's insane trying to communicate with RAMQ (Quebec).  The waiting list is currently 20 days to ask a simple question.

I am pretty sure it is the day you cease to be a resident/move to the US.

IR1/CR1 Visa - We are using a lawyer!

Embassy: Montreal, Canada

USCIS

22 Jan 2013 -- packageSent
31 Jan 2013 -- NOA1 from NBC

6 Mar 2013 -- I130 transferred to Orlando local field office (which started the whole nightmare)

Mar 2013 to October 2013 no one would tell us where our case was or what was happening. I suspected the whole time it was just sitting in a corner somewhere in the Orlando field office. I was pretty much right.

October 2013 - get congressman involved. Congressman asks USCIS repeatedly about our case but they won't even tell them anything.

31 Jan 2014- finally get NOA2!!!! (we think the nightmare is over!)

NVC

Our case was not sent from the Orlando field office as it should have been. The nightmare continues. We kept calling NVC and asking if they received our case, and they always said "NO" and that we had to wait 90 business days for it to be received. We called USCIS during this time and they kept telling us it had been sent. After the 90 days of agonizing frustration, NVC then started telling us we had to wait 120 business days. I got our congressman involved again, and they told the congressman it was sitting at the Orlando office this whole time (just as I thought it was!).

22 Apr 2014 -- NVC received
16 May 2014 -- NVC case number assigned
24 May 2014 -- AoS and IV bills paid

28 May 2014 -- Sent AoS and IV Packages

6 June 2014 -- documents scanned

18 July 2014 -- false checklist from NVC

21 July 2014 -- Case complete

28 July 2014 -- receive case complete email from NV

30 July 2014 -- interview booked! September 11 here I come!

Embassy
04 Sept 2014 -- Medical
11 Sept 2014 -- Interview - APPROVED!!!!
15 Sept 2014 -- Package arrived at Loomis location!!!
**03 Oct 2014 -- POE!! **

I NOW LIVE IN OCALA, FL!!!!

What about the sponsoring spouse and the children?  Since we will all still be in Canada for a while

 

Since she cannot enter without you to endorse the visa. You declare you are all returning to the US. It will end at that time for all of you. 

If you tell the border the USC is not yet moving they can stop the visa activation or even cancel it as the purpose of the visa is to return to the US with the USC spouse.
