US Immigration from Canada

Hi everyone,

On the ds260 we put my maiden name. On my AOS it has my married name.

I submitted to nvc my passport with my maiden name, but I have since got a new one with my married last name.

Do I need to do anything before my interview? I ve been DQ but just waiting for IL

Hi, does anyone know how long the wait time is for getting an interview at Montreal for k1 visa, once NOA2 is received? I m new to visa journey and not sure if I m looking at the right stuff or where I can find some information regarding my specific question. Is there a thread I can be directed to? Thank you!

Hi, my fianc and I are new to visa journey. Our NOA1 for k1 visa is August 23, 2021. It seems that we can maybe get NOA2 by November/December we re hoping. We are wondering if anyone knows how long the wait time is for Montreal consulate interview for k1 after receiving NOA2? Or if there s anyone here that s recently had an interview for k1 at Montreal, how long did you have to wait approximately? Thank you!

I did some searching but all the threads I found were several years old and wanted to see if anyone had any recent experiences.

I have moved to the US and need to import my car from Canada, this is the last item for me. I have requested a compliance letter from Kia but I seem to be having issues as the letter Kia Canada provided does not confirm the vehicle meets FVMSS standards, they reference CVMSS which the vehicle already has a label for this. Kia said the only letter they can provide is the one that says it meets the EPA standards and the CVMSS.

Has anyone successfully imported a Kia to the US recently in the last couple years? I am wanting to import my 2018 Kia Stinger, the vehicle has TPMS and everything, its just missing the label in the drivers side door saying it meets the FVMSS.

I am open to any advice, help or ideas as I would love to get this matter wrapped up ASAP. Thx

Hello everyone!

I moved from Canada to the US on a K1 visa at the end of January 2022. Before I left, I set up a cross-border banking account and credit card with RBC (has worked great so far, definitely recommend as an option for moving funds from Canada to US and vice versa).

Last week I went with my husband to set up a joint bank account so that we can pay bills etc., from that account. We set it up at the credit union where he has his chequing/savings accounts set up Safe CU in California).

I'm looking for advice on how people have handled moving funds from a cross-border banking account to a US account such as the joint account I set up with my husband. From what I understand, e-transferring isn't an option as it is in Canada (at least, with the same level of simplicity?). I think I can set myself as a payee in each account as if I was setting up for paying a bill, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you in advance!
