So I got my extension letter in the mail. Is it normal to get the 24 month one first?

You should be part of November 2021 ROC filer. My case was delivered on Friday and I just got the text message today. Congrats. Now the wait begins!

Yes I will join! What service center are you? I’m Nebraska 

USCIS received my I-751 petition Friday. Just got notice today. This is good right?!

Question: do you have to include affidavits from close family/friends on the package?

No it’s optional. It’s just a good idea if you lack some evidence.

Sounds pretty good. 
you should also send proof of your husbands citizenship (passport, birth certificate, etc) 

you can also ask your mother-in-law to write a letter explaining that  you both live there and don’t have a rental agreement in place. 
I also sent two affidavit. So that should be fine. 

Thanks I’ll do that! 

I'm sending my packet in here shortly. I'm worried only because we dont have anything with our names regarding housing as we are in his mother's house which is under her name. 

here is what i have so far:

• Money Order in the amount of $680.00 ($595.00 I-751 Filing Fee plus $85.00 Biometrics Service Fee)
• Form G-1145 – e-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance
• Form I-751 – Joint Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence
• Photocopy of my  Conditional Permanent Residence Card (Front & Back)
• Photocopy of my Canadian Passport Biographic Page (Proof of maiden name for evidentiary purposes)
• Photocopy of my Driver’s License
• Photocopy of husbands Driver’s License
• Photocopy of Certified Copy of our Marriage Certificate
• Photocopy of son's 1 Birth Certificate
• Photocopy of son's 2 Birth Certificate
• Joint Car Insurance
• Joint Health Insurance
• Photocopy of Joint Federal & State Tax Returns (2019 & 2020)
• Joint Bank Account (Bank of America)
• Joint Credit Card (Capital One)
• Family Cellular Phone Plan
• Maternity photos
• Family photos

so im considering just getting two affidavits to be sure 

Hi everyone. Its tax season and im looking to see if anyone knows whether this is possible. My American Husband and I had our son May 16, 2019 during our K1 process. In June we visited until we moved July 2 2019. My son has his American citizenship. Im wondering with my Canadian taxes if I can claim him in Canada (im still receiving maternity pay) and my husband can claim our son on his American taxes as he has been in USA for atleast 6 months. Thanks

Hi everyone. Its almost tax season and im wondering if i am able to claim our son as a dependeny during the time we lived in canada as he was born there until we moved to the states? From may until july. And my husband can claim him in the US as a dependent from July until now? He was born May this year and want to confirm we can both claim him (I will claim on Canadian taxes, American husband will claim him on his taxes as well). Thanks. 

Hi everyone, tax season is coming up and im wondering with me giving birth in Canada to my son before moving to the states and being married how do we file that? Can I claim him on my canadian taxes as im still on my canadian maternity leave but also have my husband claim him and myself as dependents? My son is dual citizen as his father is american. Any help is appreciated! I entered on k1 visa. I have my green card now 

In canada they do not offer SSN anymore you apply once in the states. I got my sons the same week I applied when we were in the states.

Hi. Thank you for informative post. Just checking how long ut took for passport to be issued after the interview.

2 weeks

Hi! So me and my fiance applied for K1 in August of last year. I got pregnant end of september. We were lucky because we only live 35-40min away from eachother. It was stressful having to cross constantly to see eachother. We delayed my Montreal interview by 2 monta so i could give birth in canada. I had my son may 16. We then went the following month to do my medical exam in toronto as well as applied for crba and american passport for our son. At the end of june I did my Montreal interview and passed. During the interview when i stated we had a baby she made a remark thats all the proof they need to know were together lol. We crossed july 2. Were both covered under my husbands insurancr. So far everything is great here. I am glad I was able to give birth in Canada and because I did i still get my 1 year maternity pay leave. As for the AOS increase it made no difference for us as my husband still makes way over the requirement. 

I had my baby shower originally in the US so all my items including car seat etc was american. 

Has anyone tracking for the visa had expected delivery Friday? I'm still waiting for it to be delivered to the post office and hoping it isn't delayed until Tuesday

Just got my tracking number! Hoping it comes tomorrow as Monday is a holiday 🙏

Ours was issued the following Monday (and was on case received through to Friday). Is it on immigrant or non-immigrant AP? (Non is the step before issued).

Oh ok! It says non-immigrant above AP.

How long was everyones case in administrative processing?! First it said case received then changed to that right after. I got approved earlier today! Hopefully it gets issued soon 🙏

Hi everyone I'm alittle late to the party haha. I have my interview this wednesday and super excited! I just want to clarify some things quick. 

1. Petitioner can enter with his us passport? We have a newborn so I don't want to be separated for too long. 

2. Do you still get tracking if you didn't xx pay the extra fee?

3. For those who got it Friday how far do you live? I live in Windsor Ontario and with July 1st being a holiday in hoping I don't need to wait long! 

Thanks!

Hi everyone I thought I'd post this for anyone interested. This was done in Canada. 

My son was born May 16, 2019. We had an appointment at the consular in Toronto, Ontario for June 6. The building was right downtown so it was easy to find. All the documents we had included confirmation of his appointment, his long form birth certificate, a passport photo, both mine and my fiances passports, as well as W2s for 4 years (supposed to have 5 but I couldn't find 2017) as well as his Highschool GED and utilities (which they only took the W2s) as well as forms DS-2029 and DS-11 for his passport. (We aren't married and no divorces). At the entrance they asked for confirmation of appointment. Then went upstairs after being checked and waited. Went to the desk and they took all original copies and made my fiance sign affadavit of support. We then paid the feeds for CRBA and Passport (came to $215 USD). Then waited for our interview. When we went up we swore oath that our statements were true. Asked us how we met, where we live. They said we only had 4 years of evidence of citizenship but it was no problem and said we'll have his forms in 2 weeks which we did receive them in that time frame. Took a total of roughly an hour and a half to 2 hours just waiting for the interview took the longest. Overall was not a difficult process!

Did you pay for it when the May dates were still showing? I'm thinking they may have updated the site after the last date release but I have no way to know for sure

Yea end of March is when I started the process and paid for it so possibly?

I'm fine with waiting, I just want to make sure I can pay and submit when the time comes haha 😅I haven't seen anyone in this wave of applicants mention that they were able to pay before the dates opened up so I'm assuming that we're not able to do so until that happens.

I'm not sure. I paid for mine before it let me look at dates.

Hi everyone. I will be applying for CRBA once my baby is born around may 31. I know it takes about 2 weeks to get the birth certificate here in Ontario. Is the long form the one that is required? I honestly have no idea which one they give you when you register the birth online here. 

Interview dates only open up the last week of every month.  Check Monday around 7:30am and they will be open. When I checked last month same time the dates were available so please be patient. Most likely only looking at June but I'm hoping July is open as that's when I want mine 🤞

He will need proof of US citizenship and identity.  A current US passport takes care of both.  In lieu of a passport, he would need a certified copy of his birth certificate and his current ID to prove citizenship and identity.  

So original copy of live birth certificate as well his enhanced drivers license would suffice? 

Hi guys. So my little man is due may 31st. My fiance is the American and im canadian. We currently are finishing our k1 Visa (only need final interview at this point) but waiting until I give birth to finish it. Since we live so close together (border cities) he only has an enhanced drivers license and has never had a passport. Is this absolutely required for the interview? Thank you.
