US Immigration from Canada

Hey all,

First time posting here, great to meet everyone. Been lurking for awhile and finally made the decision not to pay $4K for an immigration lawyer for the i-751.

My wife and I have a fairly straightforward case, married in 2019. In terms of financial comingling evidence we have:

• Co-own properties with both our names on the deeds and share mortgages
• 1 Joint bank account dating back to when we married
• Shared insurances and utility bills in either's name (not both)
• IRS tax transcripts
• 401k with the either as beneficiary

A couple of questions for everyone here:

1. While our joint bank account go back to 2019, the majority of the transactions are paycheck deposits and then credit card payments for our personal credit cards, so a statement is like 10 lines at most, inclusive of mortgage payments. The way our finances work is we both have personal credit cards (we do not share credit cards) where most of the transactions occur. Then we payoff our credit cards with our joint bank account.
   • Do I need to attach our respective personal credit card statements (quarterly) and show more the day-to-day transactions? Or should we only attach our joint bank account with both our names? Our financial arrangement feels pretty normal - just concerned there's not enough transactions.
   • We plan on attaching all monthly bank statements of our joint account - any concerns?
2. We were married in 2019 at a courthouse but didn't have our reception until this year due to covid-19. What's the best way to show our arduous journey? I was considering attaching all the contract revisions, emails etc particularly with our vendors (i.e. photography) but was curious to get everyone's thoughts. Don't want to unnecessarily waste paper.

Thanks in advance!

Hi y'all!

My wife and I filed back in 2020 and had an interview scheduled in Montreal for September 2021. We were not able to make it on that date and thus had to wait for it to pass before being able to select a new date. Once I got the email to schedule a new date using the calendar, there were no dates available. This happened for months and since then we've had a change of plans and don't intend on moving to the US right away.

I understand that once you go through the interview and get your visa, you have 6-12 months to move down to the states. Our current plans are to move in mid-2024.

Will I be able to keep this case active or will I need to file everything over again including paying all fees?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

We found a some one who is willing to file our GC through employment in USA inland. We are on visit visa as on in USA. I am born canadian citizen and my husband is born indian citizen holding canadian PR. My question is if some one can guide us how we can file our GC? I don't want me or my husband to get over stayed in USA. Till I have research online I have found I am eligible for GC application if everything went smooth, I will get GC within a year. Will my husband will get the GC too with me or I have to sponcer him after I get my GC?

Thank You.

I need to send an urgent document back to the Montreal Consulate for an IR-1 and need to confirm the mailing address for IV. I do not have the ability to print out the free certificate for courier. I do not mind; will use whatever the absolute fastest service is. Can someone please confirm the official address that you used to send documents recently to Montreal? Thank you all so much

Has anyone let their spouse fill their N400 on your account? My account has a pending I-130 and we'd like to use my account with my name on it rather than create another account. Is this okay or frowned upon?
