US Immigration from Canada

Hello all! My fiance and I are just starting the beginning of our own Visa journey. I am coming from Canada. I am still sorting through all of the information out there, but these are my initial questions that I haven't been able to find a great answer to yet:

1. I believe we have enough evidence to prove our relationship, but how different is it to prove a "bona fide marriage" vs. a real relationship? I have seen the list of evidence for a marriage (i.e. joint bank account, mortgage/lease etc.) but since I am still living in Canada (and would be until the Visa is approved), I wouldn't have any financial evidence. Is evidence to prove a legit relationship enough to prove a legit marriage?

2. Regarding a wedding - is this necessary? In Colorado, you don't need an officiant. You can (basically) apply for your marriage license, sign at the same time when you pick it up, and leave the office legally married. No pictures of a one knee proposal, no dress, no wedding, no tiny ceremony, no photos. If we go this route (which we would prefer tbh), would this cause issues with our application, especially when we won't have any of the financial evidence suggested to prove a "bona fide marriage"?

I very much appreciate any advice on these questions! Thank you so much in advance as I am sure I will have many more questions as we work our way through this process

Hi all,

My husband and I finally received something back from USCIS and unfortunately it's an RFE. I have a few questions and hoping to get answers quickly as the deadline is coming up and I need to send it asap (time got away from me.)

The first time we sent in, I provided our lease (ended up buying a house while waiting for processing & we did update our address online), two of our close friends wrote affidavits for our marriage, our W-2 and bank statements to show we have a joint account, and ultrasound pictures of our son because I was pregnant at the time along with a copy of my baby shower invite since it was already scheduled.

#1. Do I need to send in our most recent bank statements and other things we've already sent again?

This time I will be sending the following:

• Deed to our house
• Our son's birth certificate
• Most recent W-2s because it will show we filed together and our new address

#2. Do you think I should send more or should this suffice?

The coversheet they sent has options to check such as, a new G-28, Additional fees, Additional forms, and Other.

#3. Are there additional fees for sending in more evidence (doesn't mention it on the letter besides this option) and should I include additional forms? If so, which ones?

We do plan to add a new G-1145, but not sure if it is necessary... Thanks in advance!

NOTE: AOS Adjusting from K-1.

I received an RFE shortly after my I-485 (AOS) submission regarding Form I-864. After reviewing the documents USCIS scanned to my online account, I quickly identified that I neglected to include the last page of Form I-864 (as I did not need space for additional information) and thus shows up as "MISSING PAGE" in their system.

I plan to address this omission and include a fully complete I-864 with my RFE response but I'm confused about the following. In my RFE it says to:

"Submit a complete copy of the petitioning sponsor's Federal income tax return, including all supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and tax schedules) filed with the return, for the most recent tax year."

In my original submission I provided IRS tax transcripts for the past three years, as well as three years' worth of 1040's and W2's. Should I provide the same financial documentation or *only *the tax transcripts as requested?

TIA!

Hi,

I just received the I 797C form, has anyone received it before? Not sure why I received this. I recently crossed over to activate my CR1. I already received my SSN, I'm just waiting for the physical PR card.

Hi Friends,

I wanted to share my current situation.

My wife, daughter, and I live in canadian border city(Windsor) Ontario, Canada. My wife and I are Indian-born Canadian citizens, while our daughter is a U.S. citizen who will be turning 21 next month. She is currently in her final year at a university in Canada.
In a nutshell, we all currently live in Canada.

I have a few questions:

1) Can our U.S. citizen daughter apply for her parents' green card while living in Canada, or does she need to move to the U.S. first after turning 21 to apply?
2) Does she need to have any income to submit the application for her parents?
If she moves to the U.S. and doesn t have a job, and I(Father) find employment in the U.S. on a TN visa, Would my salary allow her to apply for her parents green card to meet the income requirement since I would be working in the U.S.?
I hope my questions are clear!

I would really appreciate your feedback.

Have a great day!
