If you don't have to plan on family being there. Pick the easiest and fastest place to get married. There's enough time spent waiting in this process. So skip some wait time when you can.

I'm going to skip a bunch of stuff previously mentioned. As your granddaughter is not living with her USC father and in his physical and legal custody inside the US when she entered she will not automatically gain citizenship through him. She must wait until she turns 18 and apply on her own. Minors cannot apply they must wait until 18.

~~Moved to General Immigration Discussion, from IR1/CR1 P&P- the VIsa process is over for this couple and they are asking about a mix up with entry after the 2 yr mark.~~

I think you have the stomach of a vulture. I've opened cans that were barely a year old and the stuff inside was horrible. It looked ok, smelled ok, but tasted bad. I made a cake once and the cake mix was only a few months past its best by date. That was a complete failure. So cakes do not last at all. Now chocolate i have some that I bought last year in Canada and they are still good as rain. Same thing with ketchup chips

~~Moved to Moving Here and Your New Life, from IR1/CR1 P&P- as the OP's spouse has entered the US and they are wondering about name changes.~~

I would leave it as is. Update your married name on passport and whatever else you want to update. Heck when I got married in Canada (1st marriage). I never even updated my SIN card. When I divorced years later I still used that last name. When we went for the K1 everything was in that last name not my maiden name. After arriving to the US and getting married I changed my name all only my US documents. I saw no reason at all to change my Canadian stuff. Your situation is a bit different as you married before the move. But not really that big of a deal. Let Canada use the married name and not switch the middle name. I would try with the passport and your marriage certificate you might get lucky and they add the new middle name.

The OP does not want to do a name change from the courts. She wants her birth certificate to stay the same as it is now. She wants to assume her married name, her province will allow the married name on her new documents just not the placement of her maiden name as a middle name. Yes it will be easier to assume her married name and get that started with her name change on the passport. That way the visa and GC will not have to be changed later and save a bunch of money. Also nothing in Canada's system is fast getting a court date can take months and years to happen depending on where she lives. Second ordering a new birth certificate with the name change will take months. Then applying for the new passport. If the OP cannot amend the new name on the marriage certificate, I wouldn't worry about it. Most government forms and ID will often not even list the middle names, never mind two of them.

Put the new married name. That's assuming the new name.

I would just assume your new married last name in Canada. Do not bother with all the legal name changes. Once you get your new passport in Canada the consulate will use the name on the passport for your visa and you green card. Less expensive to update the name in Canada then trying to change the last name once in the US. Another thing that was mentioned about changing the name at naturalization. Again this is a legal name change and will change your birth certificate. Assuming a married name is the easiest way to go.

The scary thing is what other checks are they not doing on who they are have around those kids.

My boys and the Hillbilly change the oil themselves. I don't think this guy knows what he is talking about being more time or costs more. I do know ppl who have been royally screwed over by these some of these oil change shops. It ended up costing them way way more. One person blew the motor and no the oil place does not have to pay for repairs when they mess up.

~~Moved to AOS from Work, Student and Tourist Visas, from K1 Process and Procedure.~~

~~Moved to SSN, from IR1/CR1 P&P- as the question is about SS.~~

~~Two medical related threads merged. Please do not start a new thread for every question.~~

If you have a record of them 20 yrs ago, they will accept them. If you got chicken pox as a child they will accept your word of getting them with a rough idea of when (age).

I had sole custody and still needed the letter. Canada is weird like that. I don't remember it word for word anymore but basically you need the letter to say the Child's full name and Father's full name, giving Mother's full name permission to move the child's name permanently to the US. Now like Boiler mentioned this letter is not full proof. My lawyer did not trust my ex with all his BS so once he signed the letter of consent my lawyer took it to the judge and had him make it a court order. Check your country's laws with a quick consult with a lawyer.

I used my driver's license two years ago to enter Canada. It was not an enhanced DL or a real ID type of DL. Just the good old one. Lol As your husband has his GC now he can use it too and that's what he will use when returning to the US. Even if he had his Canadian passport he would still need his GC to re enter the US.

~~One inappropriate post removed. This thread is about a man who lost his life, stay respectful.~~

~~Related threads have been merged.~~

~~Post split off from a DCF thread, along with related reply. Thread also moved to IR1 CR1 P&P - As the OP was only a visitor and DCF was already denied.~~

I think you should look at the processing time filling to visa again. A k1 is not going to be only 8-10 months to get a visa. Montreal is also way slower than most.

I'm not sure, but if you check out the EI thread from the start I bet the answer is in there.

I can't remember exactly but I think they want to see your EAD and will resume EI after you receive it.

He would need advance parole in order to return to the US prior to his GC. So you marry, get the AOS filed asap along with his EAD and AP and once he recieves his AP he can travel without risking his AOS.

~~Thread locked to further replies. Please see the post above this one for the link with the OP's update.~~
