Airforce Wife

oh my!! That is way to much to go through. im really sorry you had to experience that. Translation is fickle. Probably why 6-7 years of being taught french never paid off in the end for me

Indeed you love your wife very much!! Shes very lucky

For my daughter i've had full parental custody since she was a week old. There is no record of the father paying child support either (i wanted all ties cut, but he did sign the birth certificate, not the one im sending in). Im not sure if I should include the court document that says i have full custody. I dont want to complicate things, but i also dont want an RFE.

I know when a passport is scanned it says whether 1 or both parents have legal custody/guardianship. I dont know if they're (uscis) going to be able to retreive that information. Idk how close US/Canada actually work together.

However, on the I-485 i think or I-130 it asks for my Alien#, so hopefully they will be able to correspond with my petition.

My daughter and I have the same middle and last name, maybe thats proof enough?? lol i feel naive in this whole thing.

Question: For the petitions for my daughter should I include any back info about myself? My passport, birth certificate, etc?

Thanks for your help

wow! That is definately alot to go through!!

The only driving ive done for this is driving to homeland security for biometrics which is about 4 hours south of where i live...at least i think its south...hopefully i wont ever be tested on map routes ...Everyone there was extremely nice, they said when i get my green card to apply and come work with them (weirrrddd)

I'm anxious to get an interview date soon (4 months + 14 days since filing). The only downfault is to that, im going to have to get my brother or parents to fly out from canada to take care of my daughter while my husband and I attend the date wherever that may be.

Do you know where these interviews are held? in the state you reside?

i know for i-765 once you are filing concurrent with the i-485 theres no extra charge.

I did think the cost to the civil surgeon was going to be more - but it depends on the area. ++ there office is a mere 2 min drive from my house so it was fantastic. They took my vaccination records, did the TB Test, doctor checked my breathing, pushed to see if pain in my stomach, and my ear canal and that was it. Doctor told me he wont put down any medication i was using because it would cause USCIS to investigate, and signed off on the papers. No mental status eval. overall it was a good experience. Going tomorrow to take my daughter to do her TB test.

quick question: what is i-675?

Thanks alot for your reply, helped alot! Im going to start filling out the petitions today (on behalf of my husband). Hopefully send it out by end of week. I did mine myself and have had no issues. As for the Medical i could get a referral from TRICARE but the process would take to long to just get an appointment with a doctor, so ill ante up the $150.

Thanks again

Hi all, New to Florida & the States!!

Anyone from around the Panhandle??

Hoping this site brings more ease to the gut wrenching process!!

Cheers!!

Im a canadian citizen, my husband is USC. We married in Mississauga Ontario. I moved to the States 3 months after we got married - with intent to immigrate but didnt tell CBP. Filed for I-485/I-130 (within 6 months)- much easier then filing for visas and having to be apart. Also, i went online and requested a copy of my marriage certificate https://www.orgforms.gov.on.ca/eForms/start.do got it within 5 days of initial request 3 weeks after we got married.

I am a canadian citizen living in the U.S awaiting approval of GC. I am married to born USC in the military. My daughter is 8 currently with no status in the U.S. - entered with tourist visa.

I did not file my daughters petition with mine (my mistake).

Would i have to file my daughters petition the same way i filed mine? or could my husband (step-father) 'legally' adopt the child and she would become a USC? Does the child citizenship act of 2000 have any bearing on my situation?

As well I would like to plan a trip back to Canada July'11. I have my AP but im uncertain how CBP would treat my case with my daughter having no legal status in the U.S.

Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
