US Immigration from Canada

Hi All!

I'm putting together my documents for my interview and I was wondering something if anyone has any input? I own a business and I will of course bring my business taxes.. my question is if anyone thinks I need to bring proof of my business? (IE: My state business registration or EIN)? I know it couldn't hurt but wanted to see if anyone else was in this situation for the interview.

Any input would be helpful, Thank you in advance.

Hello! I'm getting ready for my interview in Montreal next week and have noticed that the consulate email checklist requires both beneficiary AND petitioner's birth certificates.

This is different to the packet 3 instructions I received.

Would a copy of my fiance's birth certificate suffice? Curious to know what other montrealers have done?

Thank you!

No dependents, no children, just myself and wife were/will be in household.

About to submit AOS Packet using an 864-EZ. Just submitted tax return to IRS, there will not be a transcript available for who knows how long with IRS backlogs as I submitted it via mail as wife does not have an ITIN. This year 2021 AGI was $55,000. 2020 was $27,000. 2019 AGI was $13,000. (Run a business and didn't draw a distribution or salary to note of - kept all in business to reinvest). I will be submitting only the just recently filed signed return and W2 for 2021. However, on the 864-EZ it does in fact require to write the AGI for all past three years. Third year with $13,000 AGI - is this a concern enough to pre-emptively have a sponsor or all good?

I-130 originally filed with Consulate as Montreal where wife was/is a permanent resident. She is a Ukrainian Citizen. We have and are spending a lot of time in Poland as I own and operate a business in Poland. Wife had a traumatic experience in Canada and we don't forsee her returning to Canada. Currently we are in EU. Made a request with Warsaw embassy to accept her case transfer to the Warsaw Embassy and we have received an e-mail that the request has been approved. As I understand it, we are supposed to now make an inquiry with NVC to transfer case and attach the e-mail from Warsaw embassy as proof Warsaw has approved. However, the e-mail from Warsaw Embassy had this: "Please be advised that your case transfer request to Warsaw has been approved. Please do not take any further steps until you are notified to do so." This is strange as I understand nothing will actually happen until NVC transfers case and we're losing time. Any advise? Upon reaching embassy contractor, same response was provided to "await further instruction."

My spouse is a US Permanent Resident and I am a Canadian Citizen.

We are living in Canada together temporarily as we wait for my Green Card Application to continue.

We are eager to return to US ASAP.

As we believe I qualify for an I-601 approval on the basis of a Religious Vaccine Waiver; we are wondering if we are to file this prior to the Visa interview.

We have only received a receipt notice thus far, should we file I-601 now?

Also if we do file I-601 and are approved will this second as an exemption to the current US-Canada Land Border Restrictions in place for those whom have decided not to accept a C-19 Vaccine?

Thank you!

I'm Canadian, and for three years my American fianc e has lived in Buffalo and drives across the border to visit me every week. I received my NOA1 back in September and would like to make sure I have enough evidence proving the genuineness of our relationship once we get interviewed later this year.

The problem is, we don't have the usual sorts of evidence that most K1 applicants have. Here are some common examples of evidence that other K1 applicants use, and why I don't have them:

1. Visa stamps. Canada does not stamp American passports when they cross.
2. Phone call logs. We don't call each other (what year is it anyway?).
3. Mail deliveries. We don't mail each other stuff. She visits so often anyway that we just give each other stuff in person.
4. Flight bookings, boarding passes, etc. She drives.
5. Hotel bookings. She stays at my residence when she visits.
6. Pictures. We don't really go out and do anything. What would be the occasion for which we would take a picture? I suppose we could just take selfies in my home, but that's... odd.
7. Credit card or bank statements of our purchases at the same time and place. Again, we don't really go out and do anything. Besides, I usually just pay for anything (e.g., pizza delivery). If we suddenly started paying for things together now after three years, wouldn't that be suspicious?
8. Engagement ring purchase. I never got one (I was intending to just get a wedding ring when the time comes; engagement rings never made sense to me.) We sent our I-129F (along with a letter of intent to marry, of course) back in August. It's now February. I suppose we could buy rings now, but wouldn't that look even more suspicious than not having rings at all? ("It says here you bought rings in February, but your letter of intent to marry was from August. Why would you buy engagement rings so many months after your stated intention to marry?")
9. Chat logs. We do indeed have 91,000 messages sent between us on Discord. But does that matter? Anyone can manufacture chat logs, and she doesn't use her real name on the application we use (Discord).
10. Names on lease. This one has never made sense to me. The whole point of immigrating is so that we can live together. Obviously we don't currently live together; we're in different countries!

I'm fine with doing some new things to get some of this evidence, but it seems so... obvious... that I would just be doing it for the sake of the K1 instead of organically. Like, there's little evidence of these things for years, and then all the sudden a few months before the interview we start doing all this stuff together? I don't know... Am I wrong to be concerned about that? And is there any sort of evidence I haven't mentioned above that might be compelling?

Thanks!
