Yes, the complications and delays in Ontario are well known.

You need to order a "Certified Copy" of the final divorce decree. You will scan or photocopy that document as your prior marriage termination supporting document.

It's your own judgment you use to determine which things are applicable to you though. When the time comes, ask your questions here. The common problem with AI in these matters is that context is King. Your specific circumstances are known to you, and not always considered in AI answers.

Much appreciated. My business is no secret here. Even though I've been in semi-retirement for 8 plus years, a big reason I still participate, is to stay up to date as things change and new information becomes available. The other senior members who are much more active are also great sources for me.

Your best bet is to deal with HR. Maybe get an executive involved, if you know one. It was many years ago, and not required by immigration at that time, but my HR used her entry to the USA as the activating event for dependent coverage. Even for that, you need a letter stating that clear policy, from either the insurance company or your HR.

It will have no impact on the date the Consulate sends the package. No idea whether it might save a day.

It will be email to you both. Just use the new address going forward.

No. No physical receipt of what is referred to as packet 3. The only thing sent on paper is the return of the passport with visa after the interview. See the title of this thread. The foreign fiancee's personal information is not found on USCIS.gov because USCIS only deals with the Petitioner. The Foreigner will only have a way to contact USCIS directly, after they file to adjust status after marriage in the USA. Online and email with the Consulate only until then. Consulate/Embassy now uses 2Go express for this. https://ph.usembassy.gov/2go-express-is-the-new-courier-for-visa-applications/

You were not born in Peru, so no birth certificate from Peru would be accepted. Get the applicable birth certificate from the country in which you were actually born. If it is not in Spanish or English, provide a certified translation. In short, what you provided from Peru was not accepted because Peru is not where you were born.

Sounds like the joint sponsor is now self employed. The current income you will state for him is the in 2023,number labeled "Total Income" from his latest tax return, 2024, unless his change to self employment happened during 2025. If he became self employed, then he has no income related to his work. He only has business revenue. Details matter in this. Perhaps he has other income or sufficient liquid assets to qualify, but there is not enough information about his exact circumstances to properly advise as to how to complete the affidavit and/or what additional documentation to apply. When and how did this status change? Was he always self employed when he owned the business. Often the answer to that question would be no, but from what you say, he is self employed as a contract worker now.

The bold above is correct. That's why this is a non-issue. You haven't been asked about other nationalities yet. Answer accurately when you are.

You cannot upload a piece of paper, so you will upload a scan of the correct document as instructed here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Argentina.html

This is a non-issue. Just deal with it by completing the DS 260 accurately.

AR-11 is used after the green card is in hand. If you are in a stage prior to interview, the foreign fiancée does not need to update their address until submitting the visa application.

Probably not for a k1 but we are now discussing why marrying and pursuing the spouse visa is a better option. Better, not "sure" in either direction.

No longer exempt, but..... In his discretion, the Secretary of State or his designee, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, may find, on a case-by-case basis, that travel by an individual would serve the U.S. national interest. The Secretary of Homeland Security or her designee, in coordination with the Secretary of State, may also find, on a case-by-case basis, that travel by an individual would serve the U.S. national interest. Applicants who are subject to Presidential Proclamation 10998 may still submit visa applications and attend scheduled interviews, but they may be ineligible for visa issuance or admission to the United States.

It may well be enough, and the job offer helps, but does not help with the financial aspect of sponsorship.

Court Records Applicants who have been convicted of a crime in Canada should obtain a certified copy of court records from the clerk or registrar of the court in which they were convicted. Court records should state the section of the Canadian Criminal Code under which the applicant was convicted, the disposition of the case, and the penalty imposed, if any. Court records must also indicate whether the case was handled as a summary or indictable offense. Canadian pardons have no effect under U.S. law. Applicants who have been convicted of a crime in Canada that was subsequently pardoned must contact an RCMP office to obtain both a Certified Criminal Record Check and copies of their pardoned criminal record. See "Police Records" above. In cases of controlled substance violations (such as drug possession, sales, or trafficking), court records should indicate the type and quantity of substance involved. If court records do not include this information, applicants should seek to obtain it from the records of the police service that investigated the case or the Crown prosecutor's office that prosecuted it.

Yes, but not necessary. Enjoy.

Because typically, spouse visas are not subject to the ban, and litigation results are far from certain. Even if subject to the ban now, if lifted, spouse cases will have priority.

Marrying will provide a better and more certain result.

Together in person for six months will carry the day on bona fide relationship. It's helpful to mention the country, but with six months together and a child with a US Passport, I would not bae worried about that issue again.

No, it would not add weight to your evidence if both your names are on the birth certificate. Focus on evidence of time spent together in person.

Unless there is a plausible reason for USCIS to think you and your spouse are close blood relatives, this is a total non-issue.

Natural born US Citizens never have an A number, so it is for the Beneficiary.
