US Immigration from Canada

Hello, please I have specific question related to my case. I am the the applicant with 4 children ages 23-16yrs old. My case was approved on Aug 24,2024 and sent to NVC August 29th,2024

I am confused on what will be on part 3 of form I-864. Especially Part3 # 2 that says " name of children(family

members immigrating with me now or within 6 months " Thanks.

I was married to an USC a week ago and am currently in status on a B-1 visa from Canada. I have spent winters in Florida for the last 25 years and have known my husband since then. I have always had my U.S mail delivered to my husbands address and have a residential address and p.o. box in Canada for my Canadian mail. I am unsure of which of these address to use or should I use both? Thank you in advance for any input!

Hi all

Need your precious advice and opinions to this question. Can we work for a Canadian employer from USA and get paid in CAD? When do we have to inform CRA ?

Is it the date we entered USA on IV but still have a job in Canada ? Or is it the date we actually left our job and completely cut all the ties like quit job , sell the house etc?

Hi.. I filed with a receipt date of July 5, 2016 for my brother and his wife. They are both over 21 and they are both in the UK. My parents were not citizens yet, and my mother has since died. My father did gain his citizenship in 2022 though. When I filed, I thought it was 7-9 years or so until processing was complete. Turns out I was wrong. In all my years of submitting paperwork for visas, I did not know about the visa bulletins (my K1, AOS and then citizenship and then my parents I-130 visas and father's citizenship )- I always came here for timeline discussions. Now I'm hearing that it takes more like 15-20 years. The bulletin that someone linked to, sates that as of September 2023, they are completing F4 I-130 petitions from April of 2007 - so a 16 year wait, which would mean that if all things stay the same, then my petition for my brother won't see the light of day until at least 2032.

Would it be better to have my father send in a new petition for my brother instead? Do I have to repeal my I-130 in order to do that or can I just change the category (F4 to F3)? And I don't mean to sound morbid, but what if my father dies before my brother's I-130 gets approved?

I can't seem to find processing times for any of these things on the USCIS processing times website/page. It all says "See Notes". And if I enter the receipt date on the USCIS processing times page under "When can I ask about my case?", the message that pops up is that I can't ask before July 14, 2029. So is that their anticipated processing date for the F4 I-130? I think that is a parent filing for a married child is a F3 visa. Are they really processing 14 years out as well? Heck! I don't even know if I'm reading the bulletin right! This is what I'm looking at. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/family-preference-cut-off-dates/Cut-off_Dates_Worldwide_Online_FY23.pdf

Thanks for any help you guys can give. I thought I was a real pro at all of this stuff, lol, but so much time has passed that now I feel like a total newbie.

Hello,

I have a few questions. My wife is living in the US and I am in Canada. She filed the I-130 form in March 2024. Wondering if anyone filed shortly before that and has had their case approved and sent to NVC yet? Online status says we have a week left.

Secondly, Once the application is sent to the NVC what is the approximate turn around time from them receiving your application to the interview date in Canada? We would be getting them all their documents done as soon as possible.

And lastly, We travel back and forth to visit each other but due to my flexible work schedule I travel to visit her more often. I am coming close to the 180 days allowed in the US in a year and I know that exceeding that can be very detrimental for the application. Does anyone know if there is a legal way through the USCIS to exceed those 180 days without it effecting the application. Or is the best option for my wife to just visit me when she can in Canada?

Thank you for your insight.
