There must be some way to get to the bottom of what's going on with this AP thing. I dunno if anyone would be interested or even how much it helps, but if we collected individual data for the possible reasons why people have been put into AP we might be able to get to the bottom of it. Just a suggestion. Some reasons I can think of (this applies to both the beneficiary and the sponsor): -job type -country of birth -travel history -criminal record/arrest history -social media -expedite request -type of visa -distance of family relation -name -ethnic origin(?) If we found a link between all the various cases that have been put into AP, we might be able to figure out the criteria they are using.

You need to bring a resume to your IR1 interview?? I thought it was only E class visas that require that.

DQed June 21, nothing yet. Fingers super crossed it comes in mid-late August. Getting sick of waiting!

No, regular crossing at Yahk/Kingsgate

Ugh, so does that mean you're approved but now have to send in additional stuff? Another few months??

I was DQed June 21, but the status on CEAC still says "At NVC." Will I have a status change when they send the application to the consulate, or will I just get the interview email?

Just curious, when were you DQ'ed? I was DQ'ed June 21 and am anxiously awaiting my interview to be scheduled.

Just to let everyone know, I successfully traveled on vacation in July. The border guards didn't ask me much of anything about anything. They asked me where I was going and for how long and sent me on my way. Can't wait for the application to be done so we can finally move there!

As I mentioned in the initial post, no.

Ya I might have a job OFFER by the time we decide to go. Maybe that will help. Otherwise, I dunno if I should risk it? I don't want even a slight chance of anything screwing up my chances this far along. Maybe I'm worrying too much though.

Thanks for your reply. It confuses me a little, though. A job is pretty important, but there is no issue with a vacation, but prepare to show them ties? What ties other than a mortgage, utility bills can I give? Please understand the reason I am asking all this is I don't want to do anything that hurts my chances of getting a green card this far along. I've heard of people getting 5 year bans for not showing evidence of strong ties.

I am a Canadian being sponsored by my American wife for a GC. She is currently with me in Canada, and works remotely. We are planning on driving to the US for a short vacation in early July to camp and visit her parents. I was recently documentarily qualified about a week ago. I have a mortgage and utility bills as well as other financial ties to Canada (stocks), but I am currently between jobs. Understandably, I don't want to do anything to risk my green card application. If anyone can answer these, it'd be much appreciated: 1) How important is a current job to your ability to get in? Are a mortgage and other financial ties usually good enough? 2) If I am denied at the border, will it affect my green card process or interview questions? 3) If I am denied, how do I answer the question about being denied entry at the interview since the answer to that will have changed (or will it?) since the application was filed? 4) In your opinion, would it be better to forego the vacation in order to make these last steps go more smoothly? 5) I'm considering driving to the interview in Montreal, and was hoping to pass through some states on the way, including visiting Chicago since I've never been there. Same questions above. Many thanks for any input/feedback you can offer me.

Actually never mind I think I found the answer to my question. You can delete this thread

Ok, so long story short I recently DQ'ed for US immigration and I am waiting for my IL. When we applied for the I-130 my wife had an application for permanent residence here in Canada. She has since gotten that PR and even found a job here in Canada. She still has her job we listed on the application as well, which is working remotely. Her US domicile is her parents house, and she still pays US taxes (for her remote job) and a US phone number, US car registration, etc etc. How does this affect anything? Do we need to do anything with respect to notifying anyone at USCIS/Consulate? Will this come up at the interview? I was told by someone experienced that the consulate doesn't care if she has perm res in Canada, just that she has a US domicile and intends to live with me when I get my green card. I want to be totally upfront and honest and do nothing to risk us moving to the US. It's just a really messy situation and there is no info to be found anywhere online about our specific situation. Please let me know. Thanks!
