I'm confused - if you're legitimately married, why would he file an I-129F?  

Who knows why they call it that way I had the same questions but my lawyer said it’s just the name of the form I129 F alien also applies  to k1 k3 k4. As a spouse I applied for I 130 and I 129F  which if it wasn't for CoronaVirus is technically asking permission to wait inside while the other one is done.

My husband( Canadian borne and US citizen) and I got married May 2019 in NY and we moved to Toronto,OntarioCanada (job offer, staying together, avoid “ looking bad” with my tourist visa). On February 2020 with a lawyer in PA applied for I-130 petition for alien relative and I-129f petition for alien fiancé/ spouse. 

My husband truly regrets moving to Canada, he can’t stand it to the point he is willing to go drive truck just to get back to the US while Oil and Gas picks up again.  We haven’t had any news after the first notice of Action for both In March 20  2020 from the Potomac USCIS. 

My husband is wondering if as many Canadian snowbirds we can go spend the winter together in the US as an excuse to wait there for 6 months  instead of staying in Ontario with all the ridiculous lockdowns. I have  a tourist visa and I am Canadian resident. Is not going to the peace bridge and saying I intend to live in the US since residing is in fact staying more than 6 months in a place more than another. Our financial situation is deteriorating as the Canadian Government keeps shutting down everything and his work requires travel within provinces. Everything is so much more expensive here too.

It’s ridiculous! We could be sitting as well  in Florida or visiting my family in Phoenix.

Whats next? a NVC notice? When do I get to schedule an appointment?  Then I come to know that there is no visa consular filing in Canada.
