US Immigration from Canada

Question in the title. My fianc and I will be adjusting his status from a K1 once he moves here in June. I understand that this will take quite long because of the current backlog at USCIS and ASCs. I also know that biometrics have to be taken at a local field office before the EAD is issued. My question is - if k1 applicants have to do biometrics/fingerprints at their consular interview, why do they have to take biometrics again during the AOS process? I imagine this would free up a lot of resources and shorten the processing time for EAD. I know TPS applicants reuse biometrics but why can t the same be done for K1? It s so inefficient to do biometrics twice

Hello VJ! I hold a GC that I obtained last August. I am Canadian and returning to the US for work shortly. We just sent off my wife's GC application over a month ago and received confirmation that it is processing.

Is it unwise to have her come visit me in the USA if she does not have a job ready for her? Has anyone here had experience with their spouse visiting them in the US while their Visa application is still processing/

Thank you!

Hi Everyone

I am in the process of prepping for my ROC app late this year. As we all know, the country got hit hard by Covid during 2020. We are really cautious people so we have barely gone out, even to local places. Even now . Our families live really far away so we have not been able to visit them either. As a result, I only have so many selfies, compared to great photos outdoor taken in 2019 (when I arrived). On top of that, the pandemic sort of severed my ability to go out and make friends in the country. I just started working late 2020 so I have not known anyone well enough beside my spouse. As far as I am concerned, USCIS asks for affidavits from 2 friends. So with all the background information, can you please help me answer these two question:

1/Will it be a bit bad if USCIS sees good photos taken in 2019 and then only selfies after that? Our other evidence is pretty strong.

2/Can we just ask two friends of my spouse for affidavit or either of 2 must be my friend?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello everyone,

I am trying to contact the US consulate in montreal about my case via email. Does anyone know the email address? the guy on the phone is speaking too fast for me to understand. If anyone has the information please reply. Thanks
