Hey! I will be going with him, of course. ) We're also registering our daughter's "birth abroad" -- she's 4 months old.

So I should mark YES then?? I've never been deported or overstayed, to my knowledge, no.

Thanks again...YAY EDMONTON! (Even though we're both lookin' to leave!)

ha!

Hi there!

My husband (USC) is filing the I-130 for me (Canadian) in Calgary next week. I am on question 16 of the form that asks if the relative (me!) has ever been under immigration proceedings.

My mother and father moved us to the US in 1995 under my father's H1-B visa. They then filed the I-485 app for permanent residency that was pending FOREVER...in 2001 my mother, now divorced, returned to Canada with me and therefore abandoned her application.

In 2001/2002 my then-boyfriend and I (now married, haha) filed for a K-1 fiancee visa and were contacted by the consulate in Montreal telling us that while our interview was about to be scheduled, I was not technically "out of status" in the US yet and could go back, marry and file the I-485 to adjust status then. (I know, really long and involved, sorry!) I DID move back (thus abandoning the K-1 application) and marry but we decided to move to Canada before I was to file the I-485.

WHEW. My question is whether or not either of the above situations are considered, "rescission"?

Thanks in advance -- we wanna get this application through this Friday so we don't have to pay the new fee!! )

If ur DCF'ing (there is a DCF forum on VJ,) you wil be doing the IR-1 visa (married over 2 yrs) and the interview will be in Montreal. Mtl does ALL the Cr-1, and IR-1 for Canada

THANK YOU BOTH!

Hi guys...am I correct to understand that DCF is still possible in Canada but only for USC *legal Canada resident* spouses to file for their spouses?

what you want to do is called direct consular filing or DCF for short. has your husband been filing taxes in the us since he's been residing in canada?

Yes, he's been filing taxes.

I thought you couldn't do DCF in Canada?

First I just wanna say that I'm really glad I found this site! I've already located lots of valuable information that has answered almost all of my questions! I especially love the step-by-step requirements/checklist for visa application!

Anyway, quick background info:

My husband (USC) and I (Canadian) have been married for 4.5 years. We've been living in Canada for the last 3.5 years (my husband is a Canadian PR) and now wish to make the FINAL and OFFICIAL move back to the US. The plan is to apply for the I-130 from within Canada and wait for it to be approved before we all move, together (we have a 5 week old daughter!), down South.

Has anyone on here applied for an I-130 from inside Canada?

Should we use my in-law's address for the USC residence?

Will we require a joint sponsor since the USC lives outside of the US?

I heard a rumor that you can now apply for the I-130 in Calgary at the US Embassy...would the interview still be in Montreal/Vancouver?

Thanks in advance for any info!
