Ya if you guys can find that thread send the info along, it would be a nice way to gauge the dates and traffic. The posted dates are only two weeks ahead of me basically...getting close!

Me too. I'm beginning to lose hope that it will be soon, but I have to stay positive. You'll probably get yours the same day as me. That's what it looked like last month...a bunch of people got theirs all on August 10th.

Well I haven't seen anyone with Montreal consulate post about a date for October, August 10th was the 2nd friday of the month maybe we will hear this Friday

Here's my timeline. I should be getting my interview letter any day now, based on other Montreal interviewees. I've been collecting stats and I've found people get their letters between 5 and 7 weeks, most of whom received it at 6 weeks plus a few days. I'm at 6 weeks, 1 day now. 

hope your letter comes soon!😊 you're CC is one day before mine! 

Sorry if this was asked before, but does anyone know how long the Police certificate is good for?

 My CC on July 27th and still not interview date yet. I did my I went to a partner agency, they took my fingerprints back on April 26th and I'm assuming they are only valid for 6 months.

This info is from CEAC web page it was updated around 30 mins ago so I am guessing the "maintenace" wont be resolved tommorow.

 "The Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) Immigrant Visa web portal is currently unavailable due to maintenance.

During this time, IV applicants will be unable to access/login to the CEAC Immigrant Visa Agent (DS-261), Online Immigrant Visa Application (DS-260), or the Immigrant Visa Fee Payment portal.

We are working to restore access as soon as possible."

 

 

It's been like this since last Friday. I was trying to log in to get my DS-260 confirmation page printed. Guess I'll check back Monday.

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone know how long the NVC maintenance is going to take? I have checking everyday since Friday.

Thank you.

Hi everyone.

My husband and I have a joint sponcer (his father) but on the nvc site it will only allow his mother to be added as a household member to my husband. We have no idea how to fix it, does anyone have any idea's? 

We hired a lawyer to do out filing but they are taking way to long and missing other documents so we decided to take matters into our own hands... the lawyer told us to wait for the NVC to reject the current submissions( for a second time), but since we got out invoice back at the beginning of June I'm tired of waiting.

Thank you for reading.

August 25th here, still waiting.

Right now, Texas is taking about 6-7 months to approve. 

Thank you, our immigration lawyer told us it would be 3-5 months but I didn't understand where she was getting those numbers from.

Hi everyone,

We are currently filing  for IR1 and our I-130 was begining to be processed at the end of August, I am having a hard time understanding the proccessing times posted. My question is whats the current time frame for TSC for I-130. We are coming up on 3 months since any word or anything.

Thank you for reading!

You can compare the processes here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/compare

 

Disregard the K3 (rarely ever issued any more) and DCF (only available if the USC is living abroad, and only in certain countries). 

Why are K3 visa's rarely issued?

Sorry for the late reply. I've been in Canada since December 17, 2015 so 184 days.

So you are in Canada now? What makes you think you've overstayed?

Canadians do not travel on a visa. Typically we are admitted under a B classification but do not actually travel on a visa. This classification generally allows (unless otherwise told - did you have something written or stapled into your passport on your last crossing?) 180 days within Canada I believe.

Have you started filing for the U.S. spousal visa?

Good luck

Yes I am in Canada now. The official Canadian immigration/visitation website says that even when visitors don't have a stamp in their passport they are only allowed to stay 6 months.

I have a passport card. There are no stamps/written statements anywhere on it. It's basically an ID card that allows travel by land/sea.

We have not submitted any visa paperwork but we have started collecting information for it.

Thank you.

Hello all,

First of all sorry if we posted this in the wrong section. We're desperate for some advice.

Here's a little background info on our situation. I am an American citizen. My wife is a Canadian citizen. We eloped in April of this year. We have a child together who is almost two years old. She is a Canadian citizen and we have not yet filed our CRBA for her American citizenship. My wife is pregnant with our second child and she is due at the end of the month.

I entered Canada on December 17, 2015 with my passport card. This might be my 10th trip to Canada and I usually have no issues traveling across the border. Everything I've checked online leads me to believe I have now overstayed my visitor visa and may have problems re-entering Canada. Every trip I've taken up here in the past has been less than 3 months on average.

My desire it to continue to be able to travel freely to/from Canada/US and to eventually bring my wife and children to the US to live with me. I'm not sure if I should go back to the US and re-enter Canada before the baby is born or just stay here. I need to be here for the birth of our second child. Is it too late to apply for an extension?

If anymore information is necessary for advice or recommendations from the community here I am happy to provide it.

Please help!

Do you have any sources regarding this matter? I have to be 100% sure before we take any steps in that direction.

Thank you for the replies.

The main reason I'm asking this question is because of an interaction I had with a US border control agent.

I was driving back to the United States after a visit with my fiance and child. After getting through the regular questions when crossing the border I told the agent I had a question for him.

I asked him if my fiance going on social assistance would be a problem with her immigrating to the United States.

He told me any kind of social assistance or welfare would automatically make her inadmissable. This obviously has made us very paranoid about any kind of help from the government in Canada even though there are a lot of programs to help people.

We have some concerns regarding inadmissibility. My fiance (Canadian citizen) is having some dental issues. She does not have dental insurance and dental care is not covered by Canada's nationwide healthcare program. There is a social assistance program that temporarily helps with dental care. We do not know if this will make her inadmissable in the future when we file for a K1 visa.

We are planning on having an affidavit of support to sponsor her because I don't have the income right now to sponsor her myself.

By the way we have a daughter who lives in Canada with my fiance and she receives a child tax benefit from the government every month to help support her. Does this help or hurt her admissibility in any way?

We're leaning towards the marriage visa at this point. One question that we have about it pertains to the timing.

Assuming everything goes correctly and she is approved to come to the US after getting married and filing, is there a time constriction on when she has to come to the US?

EDIT: wording.

CRBA is important so that she has her US citizenship and you can get her a US passport. Her Canadian citizenship will not be affected.

Do you live in the USA or Canada?

I (dad) live in the USA. Mom lives in Canada with the baby.

She would then have dual citizenship after a CRBA?

Would she be free to travel back and forth with Mom and I to visit family in Canada once she is in the USA?

This is also a concern for Mom being able to visit Canada.

Thank you everyone for the quick responses!

We are a little confused about the CRBA. Both of our names are on baby's birth certificate and she shares our last names in her last name. We also got her a passport shortly after she was born.

Will that be adequate proof or do we need other documents? Also how will that affect her now living in Canada with her Canadian citizenship? Does applying for a CRBA change her citizenship to US right away?

Our idea based on information gleamed thus far is to apply for the K1 visa and get married in the US.

There is just so much to this and we are feeling overwhelmed. Any help is appreciated.
