Because the only Canadians applying for B visas will be high risk (criminal record, previous US visa violation, etc). Everybody else can enter the US for up to 6 months without needing a visa.

Good luck.
I guess it depends on if it’s guaranteed or not i.e. dividends from stocks that could fluctuate wouldn’t be. But I agree that cash assets should be acceptable, I don’t see why you can’t submit evidence of that to meet the requirements.
It might be worth giving details of the number of people in the household and the amounts you’ve put on the application (plus amount of assets) so that those in the know can help, best of luck.
Hopefully a mod will move this to the main forum, so more people see it - I’m specifically thinking of @pushbrk who is a whizz when it comes to the financial stuff, and others in the know.
What was the passive income? I’m wondering if they won’t take that if it’s not guaranteed - i.e. if it’s from rental property that could be empty in the future?
Not changing terminals doesn’t mean they won’t go through immigration. If both flights are on one ticket then generally they won’t. But if it’s with different airlines and they need to recheck their bags between flights, then they usually will.
They need to check with the airline.
No, as @Crazy Cat said there are no dependents for immediate relatives, each needs their own application.
There’s no guarantee their cases will be expedited but there’s a good chance, all she can do is ask.
I know very little about spousal financial sponsorship (mine was employment based and self sponsored, so no financials required). But there are lots of people who will be able to help suggest a way forward for you I’m sure, best of luck to you.
Just spotted this comment. So your spouse is living in the UK now? What evidence did you provide that his/her salary will continue when s/he returns to the US - maybe it wasn’t enough proof and that’s the problem?
You do have the chance to get the visa and I’m sure it can be overcome.
Might be worth posting a new thread in the relevant forum with details of the salary and assets, somebody will be able to help suggest the best way forward to get your case approved.
Best of luck.
It’s only been 7 working days, so I’d say it’s too early to say either way really. Just keep an eye on your status, hopefully it’ll change to issued soon.
Good luck.
Would they not pick up? Mine was 18 months ago so I might be misremembering but I thought there was the option to arrange a collection.
Hopefully as long as you put your case number and details in the envelope it’ll get matched up, good luck.
It may not match up if you sent it via RM - for DX you get a specific tracking code usually that is linked to your application.
But all you can do is keep an eye on your application status and see if it changes.
Good luck.
Consular processing is now your only option anyway.
It would be better for you to petition your stepson as then he’ll be an immediate relative so it will be much quicker. If your husband did now then as said above it would be a F2A category application which takes longer (until your husband gets citizenship, but I’m guessing that would be at least a year away).
Best of luck.
What do you mean it doesn’t show anything? When you log in to CEAC what does it say?
It sounds like you’re just expecting things to happen too early, as there was no visa available to you until 1st January your case wouldn’t have been added to the interview queue until then. But check your status and it will say when it’s in transit, hopefully you’ll get an IL in the next month.
Good luck.
Unfortunately, nothing to do but wait it out. A verbal approval means nothing, just keep an eye on the status and hopefully it will change to ‘issued’ once AP is complete.
Good luck.
Please fill in the timeline on your VJ profile instead. A post will just get lost, your timeline will help many, many others going forward.
Good luck and congrats!
