US Immigration from Canada

Hello

I have filed I-130 for my sibling who has two young children (under 12 years )

My question is , will the children also get green card ( be admitted) in US when my sibling's time comes for getting the card (it takes around 12 years as of writing this note.( children will be over 21 years of age)

Thank you,

Hi,

I'm a US citizen petitioning for my foreign wife.

Last year, we withdrew our K1 application (before getting a NOA2), got married and we're now applying for a CR1 and filling out a DS260.

The underlined part of this question is confusing is:

"Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?".

Does this apply to our situation? It was not withdrawn "at the port of entry".

I hope that someone can help us.

I m worried it will look like I abandoned my case! Please advise! Thank you

I had my medical today (Feb 2) in Montreal at Medisys with Dr. Galperin.

9:06 - arrived on time for appointment and was screened at the door. Also gave my passport, immunization record, pictures, and interview letter to this same greeter.

9:10 - called up to reception for a picture, and given paperwork to fill out.

9:35 - paperwork completed and handed back to receptionist

9:46 - x-ray completed

10:00 - meeting with Dr. Galperin. She seemed fairly busy, but was extremely friendly. We talked more about my children (who were not with me) than anything else, and how it would have been so much lovelier to see Montreal in the summer. She went over my paperwork, had me change into a gown, checked eyes, ears and abdomen, and listened to my heart and lungs. Done by 10:13!

10:45 - urine test and blood work. They also take height, weight and blood pressure. I did not need any vaccines.

After sitting for about another 10 minutes I was called up to pay ($540). I was told the results would be emailed to the embassy in 2-3 business days, but we'll see if that happens or not!

11:08 left of the building!

So all in all it was a 2 hr experience from arrival to exit. It's a beautiful facility and I really appreciated not having to run around to different venues to get my tests done. I took a book to read while waiting. The entire staff is bilingual, and it was really a very simple experience.

My interview is Feb 8, but as I've been recovering from COVID (lovely Xmas gift from my visiting husband! ), I needed to delay my medical a little longer, fully accepting that it might not arrive at the consulate in time.

I spoke with Dr. Mascarenhas ahead of time, explaining the situation to him, and he let me know that if it wasn't ready in time, he'd give me a deferral letter to bring with me. They allowed me to submit my passport photo electronically ahead of time, so they didn't need a hard copy.

My appointment was at 1:30pm today. It was very busy, but I was seen within 5 minutes. COVID safety protocol was decent. I filled out paperwork asking for medical history, surgeries, medications, any history of alcohol or drugs abuse (no questions about use itself or any questions about cannabis, for any Canadians who might wonder), and any history or psychological or psychiatric issues such a schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or Major Depressive Disorder. I stated I have depression and ADHD, which I'm medicated for, but not Major Depressive Disorder. No questions were asked on this or anything else.

He was nice, though very quick and to the point. He looked over everything, said it looked fine and was satisfied with my titre test results as proof of immunization (MMR, varicella immunity from chicken pox) and a letter from my GP for Tetanus and Flu shots.

I explained to him that there was a spot of COVID pneumonia on my lower right lobe as detected in my CT scan a few weeks ago, so they may see something there when looking at my x-ray. He said thank you for the heads up on that. The lab will be faxing my results to my doctor, since I already needed a Post-COVID follow-up x-ray and we wanted to save on radiation exposure.

He explained very clearly how things would go - go pay at the counter, then down to the basement for the x-ray, then across the street for the urine and bloodwork (which are both only for STD detection). I am to email him on Thursday evening and find out whether or not the results came back in time. If so, he will email them to the consulate ASAP on Friday. If not, I have to pop back over to his office and pick up my deferral letter.

Super quick, super nice, and surprisingly hassle-free. Not even a physical exam or blood pressure taken. Height & weight was verbally recorded and the only thing he asked about was why I had a particular surgery (was an accident that required nerve repair). He was satisfied with a simple answer.

The x-ray tech was super nice, as was the tech who took my blood. All in all a decent experience.
