US Immigration from Canada

Hi All,

Today, my husband and I were DQ'd with the notice that our case was being sent to the consulate to schedule an interview. When I checked our messages, we also had an "RFE" come in before DQ was issued that said:

"UPGL-This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p."

I am confused as to why we are being asked for a joint sponsor. I am the beneficiary am breadwinner of the family. My job will be continuing from the same source after I immigrate to the USA, and I provided proof of this with my documents during the NVC stage, including paystubs and a letter from my employer. My income is six figures and therefore far above the required minimum income amount. Any idea if this will be accepted by the immigration officer during the interview? Based on everything I've read online, my income can be counted for household income purposes because it will continue from the same source after receiving my greencard.

Thank you

Hi,

Is there anyone from Us embassy Montreal who recently got 221g ? Can you please share your experience? Thanks

I became a US citizen during the pandemic (in 2021) and got my US passport. I have never travelled back to Canada since though (due to pandemic and financial reasons) so I have been unable to visit a Nexus office to update my enrollment.

Is there any way for me to update the enrollment without visiting a Nexus office? Will they even let me do it now as it has been almost 2 years? Last time I called them all the offices were closed and they said I had to visit an office.

I called them after the offices opened and they said I had to visit an office. But the people on the phone never seem sure, or don't have the right info?

Should I call back and ask them what I should do now?

Need some help I did an extensive research on R1 Visa (religious worker visa) did anyone applied lately for this visa?

I am senior pastor located in Montreal planning to open a branch in the States, we already a 501 C3 (tax exempt)

I have heard someone in the board member need to fill the I-129 and I can't not applied for myself I just want to confirmed

I read too a agent from the USCI will come to visit the facility and consult our finances does anyone what will be the salary?

I will come with my wife on R2 visa but we don't have children yet.

Hi all!!

The NVC finally received our case on Friday, and now of course my work is looking to send me to California. I'm Canadian and am worried about what would happen if I travel before my interview is scheduled. Has anyone else ever had to do something like that??
