US Immigration from Canada

Hi all,

I am going to be submitting petitions for my son and husband shortly and I just had a question with regards to custody.

My husband is my son's biological father. I will be listing each of them on the other's application.

We all currently live in Canada but I plan to move down to the US in the coming months to set things up. Since I will no longer be at the same address as my son will any custody questions come up? Obviously his father is on board as I am trying to bring them both down.

I just want to know how it is looked at from NVC's perspective. Thank you!

Im visiting my partner (US citizen) in the US. We decided to get married. We were going to fly to Canada , get married and apply for the CR1 visa. but due to another wave of rising Covid (Omricon) we don't feel safe travelling. Can we get married in the US now?

important details:

-Me (a Canadian) and my American partner have have been living together in Canada for 11 years. He was on a student visa in Canada all these years. We are considered common law in Canada (which is the same as being married for Canada).

-I have a neurological disorder so K1 visa is not an option because it restricts my travel (I need to be able to travel to Canada for my medical appointments)

I have been living in the States now for about 9 months on my CR1 visa, and we are looking into what to do to get my visa updated to the IR1 rather than the CR1. I can't find any information anywhere online, maybe I'm a bad researcher, I don't know. Anyway, if anyone has any information please help me! Like do I have to fill out all new applications? How does this process work? What government websites can I go to for help? When do we need to start the process?

Thanks in advance!

We received our NOA2 in May 2021 and about week after started our NVC process. Hubby and I both uploaded incorrect documents so that was a lag on our part. Plus my background check took almost 2 months because they was a huge backlog during the summer. We re currently waiting for our 3rd review from NVC. All of my documents have been accepted. All documents for hubby have been accepted except 1 - tax transcript from 2020. Submitted Oct 5. Current processing times say they are at submissions from the week of Sept 20th.
Our 2 previous reviews came about a month ahead of the processing timeline dates. We ve never been cutting it this close and are now starting to panic for if something goes wrong and we need to submit again we re running out of time in our 1 year window.
Has anyone else been stuck at this stage for so long?

I am trying to keep track of my entries also when it is time for filling the d260 I have everything documented. I have a question for my fellow Canadians who cross the border by land. Do you always get an online I-94? Also do you always get a new I-94 or just are re-admitted on the same I-94 as long as it is still valid and your intended stay length is still far from the I-94 expiry?
