US Immigration from Canada

Hello! I'm brand new here, and plan to move to the United States from Canada to live with my fianc /future spouse.

However, there's a requirement when it comes to the K-1 visa, that you've had to have met in person in the past two years.

With the pandemic, I haven't been able to travel to see them since March of 2019, almost three years. I planned to go in 2020 but our plans had to be cancelled due to border closures.

So, my question is, when applying for a K-1 visa, are they taking the pandemic into consideration, or would I have to first visit them again before they start the application process?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

I owe the NVC the visa fees, but I m stumped as to where I actually go to pay them. Any insight?

Hi there!

I'm heading to my interview in Montreal in less than a week and I was curious how intensive the questioning is and if denials are very common.

My application has been quite straightforward and no RFE's have been requested. I did have to tell my doctor at my medical exam that I have partaken in cannabis in my past for sleep (only since it's been legal.) That's my only worry.

Any insights and experiences welcome!

Hi everyone,

I realized I made a mistake while completing my DS-160 and only included my most recent employer, and not all my employers over the last five years. Unfortunately I am unable to edit it, and I have my interview next week. Is this going to be an issue? I m hoping I don t get a 221g, but I m worried that will be the case.

What can I do?

My fiance is a York region resident, currently with me in NYC expecting our first child

We finally received our "ready" from NVC to embassy and waiting for our packet 3 instructions. I found the online version just to get a head start and we are trying to obtain the police certficate. My fiance has a record from 10 years ago related to possession of weed and it's legal in Canada now so we've received a U.S. waiver to allow him to cross the border.

Is there a link that we can go order the police certificate or does he need to go in person? I see that fingerprinting is required, is it possible for him to get that done here? He has went through the biometrics part with RCMP for court records and the waiver.

Any sort of guidance anyone with a beneficiary in Canada can provide would be helpful. So anxious that we're so close but don't want anything more to be a drag. It's a just a money grab situation wherever we turn.
