    Yes

    He will not be “Adjusting his status” Entering into the US using a visitor visa but with the intent to adjust status is unlawful You will be filing the I 130 after marrying him, in order to be approved as eligible to petition for an immigrant visa for your non USC spouse. Once the I 130 is approved, he will then complete the application for a Cr1 spouse visa, using the Consular process. This takes place while he is living in his home country. As he already has a visitor visa, he can continue to visit you while this is all being processed, but he cannot use a visitor visa to live here with you .. only visit. And entry each time is always at the discretion of the CBP at point of entry

    He must leave before the period of stay, determined on entry by the CBP Officer, is up. He must not overstay or he will risk losing his visitor visa. You can apply for the I 130 as soon as you have all the documents in hand , even if he is still here in the US. But he needs to leave before his authorized stay expires

    Were you given a 221g notice at yhe interview ? If you were, it would be helpful if you posted a photo of it here .. but please cover up all personal info .. also complete your profile and timeline, so we have some background to your application. You interviewed in MTL .. Are you a Canadian citizen or resident. Are you a dual national? What category of visa are you applying for …
  5. Lil bear
    Then you are waiting while they finish checking the 15 yrs background/work/residential history.
  6. Lil bear
    Nope. Your application is in Administrative processing” .. which is normal after the interview .. But there is never any indication of how long this will take Did you have to submit any documents after the interview ? Did they keep your passport ? Do you have any challenging issues in your situation?
  7. Lil bear
    Do you have a question ?
  8. Lil bear
    Just had a read through the NC DmV info .. neither the temporary I 551 in the passport nor the I94 are acceptable for a REAL ID. You should be ok getting a state ID.. But will need to wait for the GC to get a REAL ID
  9. Lil bear
    Agreed. You do not need any complexities. Get a sitter

    Moved to Taxation and finances subforum.

    Simplest tax approach is to ensure it is sold before he enters the US using the visa Can be the day before .. or when it suits you before that. Remember that visas are not guaranteed, so don't do anything that you can’t recover from /live with if it is delayed or denied

    Visa

    Ceac is often not updated

    Are you implying that not everything from Crocodile Dundee is true ? Oh I am offended now. No more “likes” for you for while ! 🤪
  15. Lil bear
    The DS 260 was accurate at the time of submission. The IO will update the records. You cannot do another or change one already submitted.
  16. Lil bear
    Take the child's birth certificate and copy of crba application / info with you to your interview. IO will update. Your husband should fill out a new I 864 to reflect the increase in your household size. Carry this to your interview Remember CRBA isnt a travel document so your child will also need a US passport before entering the US
  17. Lil bear
    Hopefully yes
  18. Lil bear
    Good to hear. Threads like this are often read by those coming after you. There have been many instances where parents have not understood that CRBA and passport application are two different things.
  19. Lil bear
    If you are filling CRBA then I am pretty certain that you will need to get the childs Passport before you try to enter the US This requires you demonstrating that the USC parent meets the residency requirement for passing citizenship on to the child. https://common.usembassy.gov/en/crba/
  20. Lil bear
    Congratulations !!! Can you confirm that your child was born in the US and is hence a USC?
  21. Lil bear
    I believe the wording is something like “ if the balance in the foreign account.. or the total of the balances in all accounts if more than one.. exceeds $10000 usd at ANY time “ then fbar must be filed So it doesnt look at ins and outs but only at the daily total in the account. Given your info in the post, correct. Never have a daily balance over $10000 and you don’t need an FBAR for that year
  22. Lil bear
    You arrive, show your appointment letter and ID, go through security, wait till you are called up, have fingerprints and photo taken. Go home
  23. Lil bear
    Yes for sure. No “P math” needed here 🤪 The challenge is finding one who has expertise not just “ book knowledge”. Thinking we were getting the first, but finding out it was the second, cost us $1500 on our first tax year here 😵‍💫🤬😓
  24. Lil bear
    If they are approving the application then yes, they keep the v passport and return it 1-2 weeks later with the visa foil in it She should be ok for the overseas trip in Feb. Her next entry into the US will trigger the use of her IR 5 visa and her LPR status. Not possible to enter as a tourist if the immigration visa is already been approved. I would be very reluctant to reschedule the interview.
  25. Lil bear
    Or,more likely, realise their goals aren't going to work ..the US tax system is a bigger, more confusing hole than USCIS !
