I'm pretty sure you need a SS# to get license or permit. A permit is essentially a license with restrictions.

Thanks so much for this! We have decided to move our family (we have 2 kids) to the US to be closer to my family.

We are using an attorney but I am trying to wrap my head around all of this as well, the more I know the better I will feel. As for the domicile proof that scares me as I have been living in CA for the last 10 yrs as a Perm. Resident...I have virtually no ties to the US at this time. I let my DL, credit cards etc.. go many years ago.

I'm in the same postion. As soon as possible I would get secured credit card either Visa or Mastercard. I went through Capial One and used my parentss address. It's worked great so far, I use it when I'm in the states or if I buy a family member there a birthday gift etc online.

Helped my credit score to get approved for a mortgage.

Hello all,

My wife (Canadian) and I (American) have been living abroad for the past 8 years and recently sent in our I-130 since I accepted a job in the states . For the I-864 do I have to have file for 2012 to qualify?

On the advice of my accountant, I applied for an extension for the 2012 tax year until Oct 30, 2013. I did file US taxes for 2009 -2011 so I have three years and with my salary the poverty line is no concern. I do have all my recent pay check stubs and T-4's (Canada's W-2). Also, I did file for 2012 in Canada but I don't think matters.

Thanks.

Hello all,

I just sent in our I-130 to the Chicago Lockbox. I'm a US Citizen my wife is Canadian and we are currently living in Tororto. We've been married since 2004. We are very familar with the immigration process since we went through it once already in 2004.

We prefer just to get things out of the way especially with the summer months coming up we'll be on holidays for an extended period. Can my wife go for her medical exam at any time or do we have to wait and get notified by NVS? Is there a timeframe when the medical exam is good for?

Thanks.

My wife and I have been married for 8 years living in Canada and have two wonderful children. Will the children's birth certifactes be suffient as proof of relationship or will we need to include bank statements, pics etc?

Thanks....it's what I thought.

Hello All,

I'm a USC and my wife is Canadian, we have been living in Canada for the past 8 years and I recently accepted a new job where I'll be transfered back to the states.

For the I-864 do I have to provide US tax returns or can I use my Canadian tax returns and include a letter from my employer and bank statements showing direct deposit?

Thanks.

Awesome.....Thank you!

Hello all,

I'm a USC and my wife and I have been married for 8 years living in Canada so we're quite familar with the immigration process going though it once already. I recently accepted a new job where we'll be moving back to the US. Our target date to move is Aug 1, 2013. With the current processing times we it looks like at the earliest we would be approved is Sept or Oct.

While we are waiting for my wife's visa to be processed can she:

Travel to the states with me to look for a house?

If we move Aug 1 can she come with and stay until her visa is approved and then come back to do interview? I'm thinking it would only be a few months at the most so it would be under the 6 months she is allowed.

Thanks.
