The only consulate in Canada that does immigrant visas is in Montreal.  The Montreal consulate is a challenging consulate and irrespective of DCF, are likely going to require proof of domicile.  Having an address only is unlikely to cut it.  I'd also get those taxes filed because just because the kids' cases may be exempt from the I-864, it certainly doesn't mean the Consulate won't ask for it.  You really, really don't want an RFE from Montreal because it will take forever.  
 
Yes, Dr. Cheema is in Vancouver and does immigration medicals.  
 
 

That.
 
I remember with my ceremony (just 6 weeks ago), there was staff that made sure the city was filled in correctly.  It needs to be the city of the office or where you take the oath and not where you live.
 
Personally, I filled it in at home that morning.

Dont the instructions say you cant do it online?
 
REQUEST FOR FEE WAIVER FOR FORM N-400
Fees are associated with filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, with limited exceptions.
Form G-1055, Fee Schedule, lists all current fees and fee exemptions for Form N-400. If a fee exemption for
Form N-400 applies to you, you do not need to request a fee waiver or pay the filing fee.
Fee waivers are available for those who meet specific criteria that clearly demonstrate that they are
unable to pay the fees. If you do not qualify for a fee waiver, you may qualify for a reduced filing fee. A
reduced feeis not the same as a fee waiver. For additional information, see the Instructions for Form
N-400. You may request a fee waiver by filing Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver, or by submitting a
written request for a fee waiver, along with your paper Form N-400. If you are requesting a fee waiver,
you cannot submit your Form N-400 online and you must file paper versions of your fee waiver
request together with your Form N-400. If you are requesting a fee waiver, do not submit a payment.

I thought you had to post it?

You just blew my mind. I completely missed "Your petitioner" and did not link it at all to my partner. Thank you.
 

EAD usually does the trick.

Pastor Gently Informs Worship Leader That The 'Thunderstruck' Riff Is Not An Appropriate Intro For 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness'
 
COLUMBUS, OH — Pastor Weyland Benjamins of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church was forced to gently reprimand the church's worship leader yesterday by informing him that the "Thunderstruck" riff is not an appropriate intro to "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."

As Pastor Benjamin put it, Angus Young's iconic, sizzling opening riff from AC/DC's song "Thunderstruck" was "somewhat lacking in reverence" and failed to help prepare the congregation's hearts for worship.

"Now look here, Jesse," Pastor Benjamin said kindly, putting his arm around the crestfallen worship leader.  [...]

Well OP, I think you just got a boilerplate response email. 

Here's the problem, the AVR is specifically only for F, J, M, and Q visas. 
 

 
 
If you married, the K-1 is toast, your now spouse will need to file an I-130 for you and you'll need to proceed as a CR1. If you didn't marry, then you could try to have the K-1 reissued but that's strictly discretionary and you should honestly expect to file a new I-129F. 

It has been more than 20 days since June 2nd... In fact, if you really travelled to Canada on June 2nd, you are now over the 30 days cited in the CBP letter you shared. Where are you currently?
 
Contact the Consulate/Embassy that issued your visa and ask about having it reissued.

If you could fill out your profile, it would be a great help to the community: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=490476
 
The Department of State, who determine eligibility and issue visas processed at embassies and consulates, have the information regarding K-1 visas here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html . The important part is in blue - K-1 visas are a single use only visa.  You enter the US, you must marry and file AOS within 90 days of that date of entry.  You cannot leave or you invalidate that single entry visa. 
 

 
 
Additionally, the DOS lists the criteria for AVR here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visa-expiration-date/auto-revalidate.html#:~:text=Nonimmigrants who departed the United,Departure Record%2C endorsed by DHS. and lists F, J and M visas, but not K visas.   IMHO, I suspect it's going to be an extremely challenging sell to try and pitch AVR when it's clearly stated that a K-1 visa is a single admission into the US and the categories of AVR eligible visas are limited.  Typically, if people leave before they marry and adjust status, they have to start at the beginning of the application process and go through the wait times as they did in the first place.  
 

 
In the e-mail you received from CBP, it says: 
 

 
You would be marrying and filing for an adjustment of status, thereby not intending to resume the same non-immigrant status.

Apply and come back to the forum and let us know how you make out.  I'm certainly interested!  

That is not at all outside of 'normal' timeframes for US Embassy Manila.  They really do have very inconsistent visa issuance timetables with no outwardly obvious rhyme or reason why some are issued within a week and some take three weeks or more.  It is still very reasonable to assume that nothing is wrong and the visa could be issued at any moment.  Hopefully in time.

All this out outlined on the website

She should submit documents that show she maintained her residency despite the >6 months out of the country 

I agree, you can only answer forms with the knowledge you have at the time.  Based on what you posted here, it would be hard for USCIS to prove you knew about it when you submitted the N400 (I.e. lied on your form), and reviewed that form at your interview (knowingly lying during your interview).  Keep the evidence in your files that shows when you were informed of the situation, and how quickly you dealt with it when informed.
 
Good Luck, and Congrats on becoming a USC.

Agree.  You answered in good faith according to what you knew at the time.  If you've settled the surprise debt, you can relax with a clear conscience.

Very unlikely this will cost you your citizenship unless they are looking for a technicality years down the line.
You did not lie during your interview. You stated you did not owe taxes and signed the whole thing "to the best of your knowledge" If it was known the USCIS would have had the data already. 
You were informed today and dealt with it so I really doubt this will become an issue. Should you end up dealing with USCIS for whatever reason down the road (petition for someone else?) and the question gets asked if you have ever owed back taxes, then you do need to report it.

Thank you. This is helpful

Assuming your wife is completing consular processing, she will have to fill out her end of the paperwork (DS-260) for her and your child.  You will have to fill out the Affidavit of Support (I-864) for each of them.  There will be supplemental evidence required, including your last three years of US filed income tax.  Once those conditions are met and approved, an interview invite will be sent and an immigration medical will be required.  

There is a guide here: 
 

If you haven’t bothered to fill out your timeline, don’t be surprised when people can’t give you helpful answers. It’s frustrating seeing the same questions pop up from folks who give zero context — when we’ve all said repeatedly: just fill in your timeline.
 
I get that spreadsheets are easier to sort through, but this forum isn’t just meant to be a database — it’s a community. And timelines are how people know where you’re at.
Google Sheets are only useful to the handful of people who already know they exist. Newbies don’t, and then it’s chaos — same questions, no answers, and nothing to go on.
 
It takes five minutes. If you can ask a question, you can fill in a timeline.

@JeanneAdil provided the information to get an ITIN.  This is a tax number for people who are not eligible for a SSN and works fine for bank accounts and income tax filings.  Once the greencard or EAD are approved, then a SSN can be applied for.  
 
As for AOS, it may be soon that you hear something, @Dragonsarereal, but it may be another 6 months.  USCIS are unpredictable and the current administration has definitely moved the goal posts a bit on how they want things vetted, etc.  I'd honestly take the conservative approach and just apply for the ITIN.  If it works out that the conditional permanent residency is granted sooner, excellent.  If not, you're good to go.

Have u resided in the USA for last 5 years?
if so, u will file CBRA for the child to be a USC under your citizenship and provide baby with US passport
 
otherwise,  you need to file I 130 for the baby when born

Hi, the kids, just like you, are permanent residents and not K-1 / K-2 anymore as far as I can tell from your message.
 
When it comes to visas for Bahamas, this is what I found:
 
"For visits NOT exceeding 30 days:
An original Alien Registration Card (Green Card) 
A national passport (passport from country of birth),  valid for at least six months at the time of entry"
 
I'd still confirm with cruise line whether visa is needed or not. If you're not entering Bahamas, I don't see the need for visa, but this is not an immigration advice.
 
As for your discrepancy between name in passport and on GC, carry certified copy of marriage certificate. 
 

The key word is before AOS.

Sadly adjustment of status has a lot of drawbacks. Whenever people ask whether to do AOS or consular, most of the time I recommend consular unless somebody is on work visa and has income in the US, for example. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are applying for EADs every year. Hence the delay.

Did you file for EAD for the child? Typically this is what needed to get SSN after AOS forms are filed.

u can claim child as dependent same as spouse without SS#

If the child isn't a U.S. citizen or resident, and if the child qualifies as a dependent, a TIN is still required. To obtain an ITIN, use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. For more information, refer to Individual taxpayer identification number
