Sean3030 reacted to Crazy Cat in Advance parole
It appears from your post history, you have applied to adjust status from a tourist visa. Your immigration processes in another country doesn't qualify as an emergency, imo. You are free to apply for emergency parole, but inability to leave the US for several to many months is one of the known drawbacks to adjustment. Many people rush into adjustment without knowing all the facts.
Immigration requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money. A failure in any of those areas can cause delays, inconvenience, and problems.

Sean3030 got a reaction from SalishSea in i130 pending and want to legally stay in USA with my wife
Thank you so much guys. You all are very resourceful.
@carmel34 do you know once my wife get approval for i130. What would be next step? Do I have file any paperwork in Canada? What would it be?
We always thought our interview will be in the USA but since my country of resident is Canada, I guess it would be Canada then.

Thank you.
So my i130 is already pending and been 9 months since I applied for outside of the USA.

I don't think you are getting what @Crazy Cat is telling you.
You are currently in the CR-1 process. Your options are:
1. Continue with the CR-1 process. You can be in the US to visit, but you can't stay permanently yet. You will interview in Canada.
2. File for Adjustment of Status. This is a new petition, with new fees. You will be able to stay in the US, but you can't work or travel until you have your EAD/AP, which can take 8 months. This option definitely is not what I would recommend.

You might want to read the guide section here on Visa Journey. It will answer a lot of your questions.

Your spouse should get a response to the I-130 petition very soon if you've been waiting 9 months already. The advantage of returning to Canada (Montreal) for the spousal visa interview is that you will be able to enter the US as a lawful permanent resident (LPR), and will be immediately able to work in the US or travel back to Canada as needed for short visits. If you choose to stay in the US on your current visit and file an adjustment of status package, you won't be able to leave or work for a very long time. It's your choice at this point, but consider very carefully all the pros and cons before making a decision. Good luck!
