US Immigration from Canada

Hello,

I've very new to everything, and I've been working on the K-1 visa form and gathering documents that I know to be needed. I have some questions though, and my research for these answers haven't quite hit that marks. So if you will please help me with this, I would very much appreciate it. I want to be as thorough as possible with everything because this is so important to us. Please forgive me for my bluntness.

Major questions:

1. Part 2 - 24.a.-33.b. -- Her Father - her situation is one of those where her parent's split at a very young age, then her mother maliciously kept her father away. We know next to nothing about him other than his name (which I have my own doubts as to the validity of what her mother said it was). He died almost 20 years ago. Both my fiance and I have researched anything we can about him e.g. birth/death/marriage certificates, grave yard and tombstone records, and/or anything with his name in it (ancestry.com has been no help). Everything that comes back doesn't fit his demographics. There is so much unknown information; what do I put in the fields for her father?

2. Part 3 - 4.a,4.b.,&5.d. -- I have 2 arrests (I'll list the details below); one in 2011 and the other in 2017 - both of which I got a lawyer for and never had to go to court. In 2020, I had a background check done for employment, and it only came back with the 2011 arrest. So, on 4.a. I feel I should mark "Yes"; however, on 4.b. (also Part 8. Additional Information), I don't know if I should list both arrests. I'm not sure if what the background check came back with is what I should go by or not, so I'll put the details below. Btw, besides the background document, I have paperwork of the arrests such as lawyer correspondence, bail bonding, pink carbon copies from the court, letters, and receipts. How should I answer these?

2011 Arrest: Charges - (all misdemeanors) malicious mischief under $500, trespassing, and public drunk. So this was a church I broke into then out of while suffering a concussion after a totaling motor vehicle accident. The more important thing is that we (parents and I) got together with the church and agreed we would pay for the damages, and the church dropped the charges. I attended the next service to fully apologize to the reverend still fresh injuries and all.

2017 Arrest: Charge - Simple assault. This one is simply a mess for many reasons. The victim of the alleged assault was my super possessive and emotionally unstable girlfriend at the time. I could go into many details on this, but the short and sweet of it is that she immediately paid money to have the charge withdrew and dropped. I may not have even needed a lawyer for this, but a piece of mind when someone tries to frame you has no price.

Minor question:

Part 2 38.a.-38.h -- She just got her passport, but has never traveled out of Canada - we are working on to see about her flying here soon to visit if possible. Do I need to fill these out?

Again thank you. It means a lot to us. Please let me know what I should do.

Hello,

my fianc e and I were notified that our case had moved from the NVC to the embassy in early March. We have still not received any communication from the embassy about our P3 instructions. Because of this, I emailed them a week ago, asking if and when they sent out our P3 instructions. I received an email back stating they were sent to us on March 23, 2021. It is now April 22, nearly a month later and we haven't seen anything. I emailed the embassy to tell them this and confirm the address it was mailed to.

My question is, for anyone else who is also waiting or has waited for these instructions in the past: does it normally take this long?

Thank you for your comments and help.

Our Case is F4

Initial interview was in Nov 2019. We got 221g for petitioner domicile. We were asked to establish petitioner domicile. So buying house opening bank accounts ID credit card and other items took 3-4 month. We submitted our docs in April 2020 ban was in force. We gto a reply from consulate in Dec 2020 that our Docs were accepted and we were asked to refill DS-260 on CEAC. It has additional question than our original submission.

Our recent timeline is as follows:

Mar 8: Sent an enquiry to Embassy about case status.

Apr 12 Embassy requested New Medicals and Photographs (via CEAC upload)

Apr 16 : Medical were completed

Apr 22 : Medical package was received from Wilcare

I saw two status updates on CEAC. Once on Apr 12th and other today on Apr 22nd. It still say refused.

Can some one share their experience after submitting 2nd medical to Islamabad embassy and how updates work on CEAC? An when can we expect to receive visa.

Thank you,

Although I am 36 years old, I do not know how to drive... Pretty shocking, I know, but I lived the majority of my adult life in Singapore where owning a car is both superfluous and ridiculously expensive (at least 10 times as much as in North America).

I moved to Toronto, Canada in 2018 and am in the process of obtaining my CR1 visa. I have managed without a car in Toronto, but I am moving to a small town in NH, US probably in early 2021 (when my visa arrives). I will absolutely need to drive there.

I am wondering if there is anything I can do while I wait for my visa towards getting a driving licence in the US?

I can take the written test, get a G1 licence, and take classes. But as Canadians know, it takes atleast 2 years to get to a G licence. I don't think I would even have enough time to get to a G1 road test to get a G2 licence.

So my question is - can a G1 licence be transferred to the US, or is there no point in doing anything now, and just wait until I move to start the process of getting a licence there.

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone had any insight when the Toronto consulate will be scheduling interviews for non-immigrant visas?

I submitted my application in Dec 2020 and my wife (TN Visa) is currently in the US and I have a running business in the US that needs my attention, we have a business in the UK and the US (if that helps).

I was wondering if anyone could provide any advice at this point as If I don't hear anything back by the end of July for the E2 visa, I will need to come up with another plan as I need to get to the US to start running this new business.

Thanks,
Stas
