US Immigration from Canada

Hello everyone,

My mother arrived on an IR5 visa on Dec 1. POE was Newark, the CBP stamped the passport and confirmed her address in the US. I paid her immigrant fees on Nov 29th, before she left for the US. Does anyone know how long it takes to get the physical green card in the mail? We haven't received a welcome letter. I tried to inquire online but it asks me to enter the code they send in the mail to create a USCIS account.

Thank you!

Hello All

Just thinking ahead of time so I am prepared when it is time to send documents to NVC. Both me and my wife live in Canada. I know she will have to show that she has taken steps to Re-establish domicile in the USA. For people who went through this, what document, steps you took and submitted to NVC to satisfy that requirement?

Hey guys!

Long story short, I came to visit my fiance (Now husband!!! ) in September, Canada started with covid lockdowns again so I decided to stay longer, We decided to get married (Yay! Married on January 22nd) while we were still waiting on our NOA2 from our k1 which we filed back in April of 2021, myself being from Canada, and the long wait of the approval of NOA2 which still hasn't come had us worried our process won't be approved until 2023 at the least as Montreal is taking forever to conduct interviews.

Decided the time separated was too hard on us, and well, here we are.

I am trying to find all the applications needed but myself being tech inept is proving to be a bit complicated for myself to find on this website.

I am gathering we need to file I-130 and I-485 concurrently together. As well as I-864.

Do we need to send a cheque for each the I-130 and I-485? Or is it just the AOS which needs to be paid for?

If both need to be paid for can they both be put on one cheque or two separate cheques?

Also, since I was planning on returning to Canada and plans changed, I still have my entire life there! I am going to be selling my vehicle, but I am wondering how I go about having my items sent over. I will be shipping some of my own furniture as his furniture is bachelor tier (old hand-me-down sort of stuff haha), which sort of paperwork would I need? Would the receipt of the AOS be good enough or would I have to wait until I get my green card?

Any other information would be great guys, thank you!

Do you we need to get our childs passport for the NVC stage, or just before the interview?

Hi guys, when submitting tax returns with the AOS, can the print out that H&R Block sent me be enough? I cant create an account online to access a transcript through the IRS as I live out of country.
