Things have been in flux. We were not eligible to file until October, then we were considering just staying in Canada to get PR but got a better job offer back in US so we’re going back.
-
Like I said, it’s very hard to find any info online so that’s what I’m going by. But I got an email from Montreal today saying we were approved to submit our request to Vancouver embassy and to contact Vancouver for an appt. I did send a follow up email yesterday, not sure if that nudged them to respond or they would have responded anyway. But for anyone else in the future, it took about 9 days for a response to our initial request. Now on to the next step
-
Yes DCF for job offer.
-
Well the processing time for i130 for adopted children going to NBC is 4+ years (from what I can read on USCIS site) so I don’t agree. But if you have different info I’d love if you can share because it’s hard to find info on this type of situation.
-
I sent the initial DCF request over a week ago and no response other than the automated “received your email.” What is the normal response time?
-
Thanks, I will prepare for that, and I imagine I’d be starting the job before getting to the interview part so hopefully that plus our documentation will be enough.
-
I’m going to apply for DCF in Canada and have received a job offer listing the start date as “TBD” - is that acceptable or will I have to have an actual date?
-
Please let us know how it goes!

Congrats on the finalization! We also adopted and been living abroad so I feel (some of) your pain with this process! Will you be requesting Direct Consular Filing for a quicker process?
-
Were you able to find out any helpful tips? We applied for N600K when the processing time at Pittsburgh said 2.5 months, now it's up to 7 months. Really discouraging, if there's a way to reach out and move it along I'd love to know how.

Would it be an option to apply for tourist visa for medical treatment? Or the primary goal is to get your sister to live in the US?

Hi Veronica (OP) were you able to change the location? -
Hello, can you please advise - If I get college transcripts, can they be unofficial/unsealed or do they need to be sealed? I read there's something from Social Security - can it be printed from online? What about property tax records - does that prove presence? Thanks!

I believe USMCA is what the US calls the former-NAFTA agreement. Canada calls it CUSMA - that's what you should search for. See if your profession is one of those under CUSMA and you can get a work permit which was fairly easy but you do need a job offer and an employer willing to fill out something online and pay a small fee (I think it was around $100-200?).
-
More questions - does the US job offer have to be equal or better to current job to qualify? Could argue overall quality of life and income to expenses is better? If the consulate accepts your I130 is it possible (or likely) to get denied further in the process? Could they initially accept my imminent need to leave the country and then after we pay fees and travel for interview, etc then deny us for not being a good enough reason? I know I'm asking a lot of questions but if you knew how we had suffered over the last 5 years you would understand. I need to be vague for privacy reasons. We need to be home with family ASAP.
