US Immigration from Canada

Hi all,

My interview is coming up in a few weeks and we are gathering all the required documents. My mother-in-law is our joint sponsor and since she is married, we are aware that my father-in-law needs to fill out an i-864a to be brought to the interview. I'm trying to find out if we need to bring the same supporting documents for him as was required for the joint sponsor. On the CEAC portal, we submitted her proof of citizenship, domicile, tax returns, W2 forms, as well as pay stubs and an employment letter. On the travel.state.gov website it states we are required to bring a photocopy of her proof of legal status and most recent federal tax return to the interview, but does not mention the supporting documents requirements for her spouse, if any. Do we need to bring proof of his legal status and his most recent tax return in addition to his i-864a as well? Would any further documents be required, such as proof of income? If so, what documents would satisfy this requirement, given that is he retired?

If anyone has any information or advice on this, it would be super helpful and greatly appreciated!

Hello!

I have my medical appointment in less than a month and I am confused about the hep B requirement. The instructions from the immigration doctor for my age group require "2, 3, or 4 doses depending on vaccine or condition. A partial series is acceptable as long as the next injection in the series is not due at the time."

I am confused on if I should get a hep b vaccination from my family doctor ASAP or not. I had 1 hep B vaccination in 2005 and I don't know if that counts for anything as it is so old. Is it best to go to my family doctor and get a hep b vaccine, or should I wail until I see the immigration doctor? I am worried about the timing of the doses and getting vaccinated too early or too late.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Wanted to start a thread for I-130 filers who petitioned in August 2023

Will this be an issue at all? I'm thinking no, since even people who are pending can visit no problem.

Context:

Back in 2021, a written request (from the petitioner) was made to cancel the I129F visa (it got approved to NOA2 stage at the time). Fast forward til now, heading to asia for a month long trip but need to go from Canada to US to Asia. Hoping it won't be a problem. I also have a copy of the termination letter on my phone in case they ask. Just wondering if they will question or give me a hard time at all.

In two weeks, my family and I have a medical exam scheduled. We recently discovered new requirements for Hepatitis A and B vaccinations, with three doses needed for Hepatitis B and two for Hepatitis A. Unfortunately, we have not received the vaccinations yet, and even if we were to receive one shot now, it wouldn't be possible to receive all the doses in such a short amount of time (typically 6-12 months apart). Has anyone else been in a similar situation??
