US Immigration from Canada

Hi everyone, our interview's coming up in a few weeks and I'm just gathering all the documents that we need. I noticed on Montreal's "Pre-Interview Checklist", it says:

• Your original birth certificate and that of your petitioner if applicable, English translation, and a photocopy.

I don't recall submitting our petitioner's birth certificate or a copy of it to NVC at all. We're in the F3 family based category, and I'm pretty sure we submitted a copy of my petitioner's US naturalization certificate. Do we actually need to bring the original birth certificate?

Thanks.

Husband and I had the interview today at field office in Houston. He took our IRS joint filing and tax return, joint lease, joint car insurance. At the end of the 15 minute interview, he proceeded to give us marriage advice and said that our card will be delivered in 2-3 weeks. He also explained that it is conditional and we would need to remove conditions since we're under 2 years of marriage. He also went on about how hubby could apply for citizenship in 3 years. So we thought we were approved. Then he gave us the results of the interview:

He gave us the interview results that say:

Your case is being held for review. At this time USCIS does not require further evidence or documents from you. Should further information or documents be required, you will receive a notice in the mail. We may also schedule you for another interview, you will receive a notice in the mail. Otherwise, a final decision will be mailed once your case is complete.

Anyone have insight? Are there no direct approvals for under 2 years of marriage?

Thanks

Hello,

Looking for feedback for those who used their extension letter to renew state driver s license. I ve noted posts about travel with extension letters but couldn t see mention of acceptance by DMV etc. I realize this may vary state to state.

Can anyone tell answer to this 2 questions:

1) After form i-130 is approved an no other forms are filed (such as D260 & i-864). Can the beneficiary of that (approved) i-130 come to US from Canada on just a visit to see the parent for two weeks and go back to Canada.

2) If the beneficiary of an i-130 already has a US/Canada Nexus card, will it make a difference in the interview.

Thanks,

Sam
