Then... You have sole legal authority You must submit evidence of this with the application. Examples include: Complete court order granting you sole legal custody of the child, such as a divorce decree or other custody order Complete court order specifically permitting you to apply

what stuff do u want to submit? u do not support a B2 visa the sister in law will take her own proof(s) of job and income, money for the trip and ownership of property if she has this she has to qualify on her own merit

you should have recd a checklist of needed documents for the interview specific for Canada if any are in French , u need the French and certified English translation u need the originals of the documents sent to NVC u need the appointment letter to get into the embassy https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Supplemental/appt letter_checklist for interview.pdf

MY NOIR had a paragraph which read INTENT TO MARRY WAS BONA-FIDE the petition was filed (date), and has now been pending for nearly a year, please provide current bona fides of evidence to establish that (my name ) intent in marriage was to establish a life together with (my husband's name). Further evidence may include, but is not limited to comingling of finances or joint ownership of property, .......... I sent proof of joint tax returns, getting a ITIN , using ITIN to add him to bank account, getting a POA from him and adding him with a deed of our house (and in the letter I called it OUR HOUSE not MY HOUSE), added him to my water bill Additionally it said (a) proof of joint insurance policies with the other as bene (would be life insurance) and I could submit affadivits of others for statements of marriage I suggest u start to get the proof(s) u need to prove bona fide relationship by spending quality time together (( i spent months in Moroc) and think to commingle your assets as further proof OR live in spouse's country OR give it up

but FBI and other agencies don't put a prioity on immigration background checks during a shutdown Shutdowns (depending on length of shutdown) do slow all down the other federal agencies and the post office if u r waiting for green card delivery

i wonder if the "so called lawyers " are retired ones the way the system use to work was we applied and the interview was held in a US office to allow the person to stay or be sent home i could not find a date when that all changed/ its not even in the History of Immigration At one time there was a numerical limit on all visas per country May 1924: The Immigration Act of 1924 limits the number of immigrants allowed into the United States yearly through nationality quotas this ended in 1965 under President Johnson Interesting read https://www.history.com/topics/immigration/immigration-united-states-timeline

someone should copy and paste the USCIS site for the Reddit members to read the steps for spousal visa and send it to these "lawyers" https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html

but immigration will use it for an excuse longest shutdown was 21 days under Clinton 1995/96 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a fee-generating agency; accordingly, it does not rely primarily on government funding. During past shutdowns, USCIS offices generally continued to operate; however, slowdowns and processing delays can be expected due to reduced staff, particularly in instances when USCIS adjudicators rely on other government functions to render decisions.

that's the Goal/ its not reality

Seems like we face this every year now it still would slow USCIS down many US offices are located in Federal buildings. if Congress fails its job and we have a shutdown, federal buildings are affected Immigration is funded by us who petition but embassies fall under the US budget American diplomatic establishments, embassies and consulates, are paid for by the US Government from appropriated funds. Depending upon the arrangement we have with the host country, the land is either purchased or leased, and the buildings are either built with appropriated funds or leased. Under either arrangement, the US Government pays the bills.

you need to wait for the NOIR/NOID to be able to reapply and answer the issues (with actual proofs that the CO is mistaken) The following announcement makes it possible for the case to give additional evidence and prove the marriage is bona fide without going thru the long appeal process /also saves the embassy from issuing a ds5535 Sp, when USC gets the NOIR/NOID there is a chance to further send proofs of real relaitonship and marriage Announce 9/2021 In order to reduce barriers that may impede access to immigration benefits and ensure the agency is fairly and efficiently adjudicating immigration benefit requests, USCIS is returning to the principles of the 2013 policy by issuing RFEs and NOIDs when additional evidence could demonstrate eligibility for an immigration benefit. This policy will ensure that benefit requestors are given an opportunity to correct innocent mistakes and unintentional omissions and will help protect both benefit requestors and the agency from expending additional resources unnecessarily. from https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-updates/20210609-RFEs%26NOIDs.pdf

K1 is one time entry visa as soon as he is in US , the visa has been used This is one of the reasons spouse visa is the better choice but congratulations on your successful immigration journey

Medicaid is dependent on income Maryland for 3 income is in 2023 $33,064 poverty level for immigration is $38,838 in 5 years she would get medicare (age dependent) not medicaid

its not as important for USC /Canadian to do commingling of assets for immigration as it was for me in Morocco i would suggest the USC does MFS (married filing separate) in US and whatever canadian tax requirement is for your country

its just as Mike E said in his post

Federal Means-Tested Public Benefits Federal means-tested public benefits include food stamps, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p Can't rely on Medicaid which is a means tested benefit and dependent on low income levels https://health.maryland.gov/mmcp/pages/home.aspx

within 7 months ? very doubtful

this is the section MikeE refers to that covers the 3 month residency rule An applicant's residence during any absence abroad of less than one year will continue to be the state or service district where the applicant resided before departure. If the applicant returns to the same residence, he or she will have complied with the three-month jurisdictional residence requirement when at least three months have elapsed, including any part of the absence, from when the applicant first established that residence.[11]l From https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-6

By time of interview , 2023 returns will be needed

cruise ships pay for airfare to the port of departure and back to home country he would have needed a new contract to return to the ship Crewmember (D) visa holders must depart the United States on a vessel within 29 days https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/other-visa-categories/crewmember-visa.html looks like ship reported him as not leaving on the plane they paid for And by taking all luggage and trying to leave the airport, he had no visa to do this and would have appeared to CBP he intent was to remain in US unforunately this will be on his immigration records it can be forgiven (if that is the right term) by the lawyer (hope he is a good one)
