    Kid1 is graduating this year and we've been applying to universities...not sure how in the h-e double hockey sticks that happened!

    School starts way too flippin' early. Kid2 was on the struggle bus something fierce today. He had to be woken multiple times and then once his behind did get moving, he ranted and growled like a rabid bear. I don't even make him ride the school bus because it would pick him up at 6am...school starts at 7:16am. But still - both kids have to be up long before the first light of day. It's ridiculous and there's apparently a recent study done in Virgina, I believe the doctor told us, that essentially proved suicide rates decreased in teenagers that attended school during hours that were more suited to their natural circadian rhythms.

    You have to have it or you'll get put in AP. Go to a pharmacy and get the vaccination. Bring the form from the pharmacy to your medical.

    Proceed to the airport and check in as per usual. When heading through immigration, let the CBP officer know that you need to activate your visa. They will take you to secondary inspection where they will pull up the relevant information in the system, stamp your passport (make sure they stamp it - some people haven't been getting a stamp and the visa isn't technically valid without a stamp indicating entry date) and send you on your way. Make sure you do give yourself extra time. It usually doesn't take long, but you could hit a day where it is slow and you don't want to miss your flight.

    To @Boiler's point, if you married in September of 2021, she should have received a 10 year greencard. If she received a 2 year, it is likely in error. You should probably verify.

    For the newbies, can you please fill out our timelines? It will help everyone better understand timelines and more senior members to answer your questions.

    Yes. But you should check to make sure that you're up to date on anything new that may have been added. I think it's HepB, in addition to the covid vaccine, that catches people out.

    Second verification of it being concrete. We entered the day after our second anniversary and I was issued a 10 year, IR-1 greencard. Kid1 also got a 10 year, IR-2 but Kid2 had a clerical error. We filed the I-90 and it was changed, no questions asked, to a 10 year, IR-2 greencard.

    Because the petitions are independent, it doesn't really change the amount of time it takes. You are correct, probably 2 years or so, all told, as long as you've build strong evidence of a legitimate relationship and there are not RFE's or issues with the children's father providing permission or court ordered sole custody to mom. Kids are typically easy for the system because well, they're kids. It's adults who have histories including work, travel, etc that take longer to verify.

    https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=477439 The data will help others in the same scenario as you. Since you're inquiring about interviews, are we to assume you've been documentarily qualified and all that is left is the interview?
  12. mam521
    They can but if it's taking too long and you need it, you can request to have it returned.
  13. mam521
    You should be able to because you're a citizen. However, your hubs may be scrutinized so make sure you guys have STRONG ties to Canada for him when he's with you, indicating he's returning to Canada to finish out the process. Letter of employment, lease agreement/mortgage, current bills, etc. He may never be asked, or he may get a cranky CBP officer and that's just not a fun thing to deal with. Make sure you create an inventory of what you're loading into the trailer - hand written is fine. Good luck with the staged moving!

    If you search the Montreal consulate, there are many reviews with information posted, including recent ones. Regular AP (all cases go through some level of AP) or was a 221g or a DS5535 issued? If it's regular AP, as long as everything was in order and as long as your name isn't super common, it shouldn't be too long. If your name is common, expect more time. If it's a 221g or the DS5535, check out the thread posted above because it will take some time.

    As long as your spouse's L1 is valid and their I-94 doesn't have any errors, should be fine. The interview is with USCIS and they have access to FBI records, hence why you never need to get an American PRC. @Froozion congrats! Sounds like your interview was pretty much the same as our IR interviews were back when we did them. More of a verification that the documents submitted were real and true and that your answers were in alignment with what was submitted. Good luck with the logistics of your move! Are you in The Pas?

    Rant here...anyone else as completely over UPS and I am these days? Ordered a power cable for a security camera because Kid1's car is being vandalized by someone that's targeting her and knows we have a Ring camera doorbell. Security cam is on the eve of the house and oversees the entire driveway and most of the front yard now. The cable for the camera was supposed to arrive Sunday. I was grumpy that it delayed on Sunday and rescheduled for today. Go to check my orders and now it's supposedly delayed until Thursday due to "severe weather". What the deuce?!?! Yes, there is a TS in the GoM. Yes, it's headed NE but it's due to hit Louisiana TOMORROW!!! Every time there's even a hint of weather, UPS claims weather delay. They are about as reliable as Centerpointless with our power! This is completely and utterly ridiculous. USPS had people out during the ridiculous storm in May and then again right after Beryl and I normally don't have tons of nice things to say about them but UPS is making USPS look like All Stars!

    Did this yesterday myself while hubs changed the oil on the Jeep. I also got a little sun toasted as I weeded the side and front flower beds. LONG overdue. Much nicer looking now. Usual story with Kid2 here. That said, he's worked out a deal that if he keeps his average up until the end of the next marking period with no grades below an 80 and no more than 2 grades less than a 90, that we will preorder a computer game that he really, really wants. I'm ok with it. If it keeps him motivated, good enough. We have to take Cat 1 and Cat 2 to the vet today. Cat 3 and Dog need to go too, but I can only carry 2 cat carriers at a time, so the Boomers get to go first. The dog can go in combo with any of the cats but Cat 3 cannot go with any combo of the other 2 cats so the dog is his vet partner!

    Isn't this sort of the definition of insanity? Why would you file repeatedly? The answer isn't going to change. You need to get your naturalization certificate taken care of and from there, worry about your fiance.

    I just really love and respect Em and Kobe's relationship. Yeah, it's had some bumps, but what relationship hasn't? At the end of the day, they do really care for one another and have some pretty cute kids. I too, appreciate Kobe's relationship with his inlaws. He really does love Em's dad! Loren needs therapy. Full stop. I swear she's on the show to fund the plastic surgery she insists she needs. I'm over it and was before it even started. Agree on Angela's screaming being triggering. I just get the heebie jeebies thinking about it. New Before the 90 Days...agree...interesting...
  20. mam521
    So, who watched the tell all? Angela and her PI...

    You'll get an e-mail, not a formal letter. She can print it and provide it to the physician when she does her immi medical.

    Get everyone's titres done now. It will show immunity for the vaccines everyone has had and then you'll only have to fill in the gaps. Covid vaccines are basically being treated like flu vaccines - they want you to essentially have them yearly, so the kids will have to have a recent dose.

    If you get married before you file anything, you're no longer eligible for a K1 visa, full stop. If you're of an Islamic persuasion, you can't do a Nikah and apply for a K1, either. The only option at that point is a CR1 visa.
  24. mam521
    Nope. People do Vegas weddings all of the time. Just make sure it's sent to the correct lockbox. It is also a form that can be filed online.

    Yup, golden if she's there in advance. The timing will depend on whether or not you want to avoid a joint sponsor or not on the AoS. If you guys don't have an issue having a joint sponsor or have sufficient liquid assets to meet the requirement, then she can come across with you as long as you've sufficiently proven intent to establish domicile during the interview.
