US Immigration from Canada

Hello, we received a letter from NVC stating they will now forward our case to the embassy in Montreal, and the process may take several weeks. It also said that the embassy will contact us when they are ready to process our case. I m wondering, do we start on the DS160 and i134 forms now, or do we do that when the embassy gets in touch with us? Also, when do we schedule the interview does the embassy tell us when to do that? Thanks in advance!

I have some questions about the form as well, if anyone can help.

1. For Part 2, Question 16, where it asks the beneficiary to provide their assets, should they provide their checking/ savings accounts? These accounts are going to be closed essentially when they'll be moving to the States.

2. For stocks held (RSUs), do I need to attach anything specific? I, the sponsor, will be attaching my checking/ savings accounts and the stocks I own alongside the employment verification letter.

Any help is appreciated.

Have a different question about the things after the NOA2.

I saw that you need to apply for the Affidavit of Support while applying for the DS-160 application.

The I-864 (Affidavit of Support) is to be filed in the US while the DS-160 application is for the beneficiary. How does this work?

Do I file the I-864 form in the US and submit the receipt when applying for the DS-160 in the beneficiary's country?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi guys,

I know this is a common topic and it's something I've been considering recently, so I guess I just wanted some further insight.

My fianc and I are currently 6 months (July21 filers) into our i-129f, meaning we still have roughly another 10 months to go for our approval (Oct estimated approval).

I'm seeing that the wait time for for CR-1 Visa is roughly 10 months right now, so it's been on my mind about switching, so I can avoid the whole AOS.

Is the timeline really 10 months right now for a spousal, and are they all processed in California as well? Because when I check the processing times they're all roughly the same at all the service centers, with the exception of Vermont which is 16 months, and I would hate for mine to be sent there and have added even more time.

I filed for a I-129F in July 2021. On September 28 2022, I received NOA2 form I-797 saying it's "Valid From 09/28/2022 to 01/27/2023".

On December 20, 2022, I received an email notice from NVC saying they have forwarded the petition to the Canadian US Consulate in Montreal. However my partner is still waiting to receive the packet from the US Consulate via mail.

Do I need to file an extension on the I-797, since that date is in less than 3 weeks? If that date passes, does USCIS drop the case? I'm finding conflicting information, some saying that it's automatically extended, some saying that it doesn't matter as soon as the NVC processes the case, and both of us worried that we should try to extend it anyway. And I don't know the best way to do that.
