US Immigration from Canada

Hi All,

Wondering the pros and cons of where to get married, country wise? Seen recently flags against getting married in USA, then seeking CR1. Seeking to establish the truths of the matter, as this seems odd to me.

My fiance and I want to get married and do the CR1 visa process. I live in Canada, she lives in America (citizen). To marry I would be in america on a visitor visa. Same for her in Canada.

-Is there pros and cons of the place of marriage?

-Does an american wedding work against the visa process? Is it all legal?

-How do the USA visa centers view a marraige in america?

-Can I continue to visit?

-what kind of marriage certificate or otherwise do the US Gov want to see? Has anyone had authenticity issues?

I've had a port of entry officer and other resources make me second guess this so any information of this would be great.

What I know is its quicker in USA, you can do a 'wedding' it in one day and get the certificate in a week.

Canada you need a registration from service bc, then organise a commissioner, then wait up to 1 month on certificate .

Any comments would be appreciated,

Mark

My petitioner fianc e has a second small job that she does via an app on the phone (Rover, to be exact). She gets taxed for it (obtains a 1099-k) past $600 (which she makes), will she need to put this job in the i-134?

Also, there is no contact address for this job nor can she obtain an employment letter from it. Should we even bother adding it? If so, what do we put in as we fill the i134? And what evidence do we attach from it?

She does have a main job, which we filled out for already and have supporting tax documentation and employment documentation.

Hi All,

Can anyone give a current estimate of the wait time between DQ to received your interview letter for IR-1/CR-1 Spouse Visa in Montreal? It looks like earlier in the year it was closer to 3-4 months but wondering if anyone has any estimates?

Hi all,

I am pretty new to the immigration process so I was hoping somebody here can share their insight.

I just signed the contract with a hospital in the states and my official start date is July 2024.
Their in house attorney is going to work on my h1B visa on Jan 2024 and I am just curious if that is enough time for my petition to processed so I can start on time.

I am a Canadian physician.

i'm doing at I-130 for both parents too and they are tracking differently. Did you wait on the second approval before doing the NVC actions for the first parent that got approved? Any tips/things to keep in mind for someone else going through this for their parents? Thanks!
