Hi, my spouse and I are compiling our i-130 package and was wondering if we had enough evidence to support our case. He is a USC, living in the states, and I am a Canadian citizen, living in Canada. We will be applying for consular processing.

• Flights (boarding passes and email flight confirmations - 3 trips together and the rest are me visiting him in America). We now both live near the Canada-US border, so we drive to see each other
• Hotel bookings, Airbnb receipts, car rental receipt
• Financial documents:
  • Adding US spouse as a beneficiary to CAD spouse's TFSA, RRSP, and work life insurance
  • Adding CAD spouse as a beneficiary to US spouse's 401k and work life insurance
  • Authorized user on US spouse's credit card
• PDF of our photos throughout 6 years with friends and family, trips taken together, and our wedding.

Is it necessary to include text messages or calls? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Please can someone explain why the officer marked my visa page with red pen and wrote something on it like a signature.

Hi guys,

So under the new law 1 November 2025, it does mention IR-5 cases being scheduled for Kazakhstan, Almaty. Does it mean that parents cases would no longer go to Warsaw? Has anyone recently applied and have experience with that? As we all know Schengen visa is extremely hard to get for Russians right now and being scheduled in Warsaw would not be a great option. Have anyone still been scheduled for Warsaw recently? Any experience with transfers? Can you request being scheduled in Kazakhstan and how? And what proof do they ask for transfers?

My fiance entered the US on a K1 visa. She did marry her petitioner and they were building their lives together as planned. Her green card application and work permit application were filed about a month later, but haven't had any progress aside from being transferred to a different service station. Fast forward to today and their marriage didn't work out - won't go into the reasons why - and they divorced. We met and have been planning our future - just not sure what process to follow regarding her status.

Hello Everyone,

I'm reaching out for your assistance with an urgent matter regarding my naturalization interview with USCIS. I had a combo interview for my N-400 and I-751 today, but the officer interviewed myself and my wife and didn't proceed with my naturalization interview. At the end of the interview officer said he needs to review my immigration history and if they need something they will get back to me. Isn t he suppose to perform the naturalization interview as well?

Please have this happened before? I came in with Marriage Visa btw.
