Was this an update to your file that it had been denied? Or was it for someone else? https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/831358-time-from-rfe-received-to-approval/#findComment-11063166

If you live close to a Canadian diplomatic mission, you can reach out to them to retain your passport while they renew it.

I have seen something similar a few times, A-1/A-2 with diplomatic passports being admitted as visitors. Solution would not apply to OP, but I would strongly suggest that OP goes to a deferred inspection office if the "in production" card is not delivered in the next couple of weeks. Print your i-94s, and the i-94 from your entry as a LPR (when your visa should have been stamped), and ask them to do the correction.

You might look into meeting in the Caribbeans and soothing your partner's recovery. Less distance for him to travel, visa on arrival in some locations for you. @devusr did something similar, for different reasons. Other countries might be feasible, should your tourist visa to the USA be denied. Otherwise, your other ideas are not realistic.

Thank you. Please fill your timeline to provide those basic details and help others. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=455533

Who is planning to immigrate? Who are you in relation to that person?

The longer you wait, the riskiest it gets.

Also, advance parole, if he thinks he'll need to travel.

No, no one asked... But my vehicle was added to my husband's policy. Wasn't too hard, just had to get my SSN first.

Also, not sure if that applies to you, but the SAAQ was able to produce my driving records in English. I was also able to add my mom as a proxy there in case I needed another record from them (had to get my MA license after SSN, but with records less than 30 days old). They'll also refund part of your license or (and?) registration once you are set up in your new state. Most places it's not that much, but QC's include insurance so it's $$$. Bonne chance!

I looked into it before moving, but then decided to give my plants to family. I get to see them when I visit. My rubber plant went from 10 inches to 7+ feet under my mom's care. It didn't seem too complicated to get the certificates, but I simply didn't have the bandwidth to deal with it. Also, they were not big/old plants, and the extra cost was hard to justify for some of them. Please come back to let us know how it went, should you decide to do it. Bon déménagement!

Suggesting polygamy (because "no one will know"), or bribery as an alternative to following the law is probably not compliant with what's allowed on VJ.

The consulate won't answer hypothetical questions or advise you, however, they will evaluate your documents you will submit to support your need to urgently relocate, and then make a decision. It is my understanding from the information you provided that you still have to live abroad with your adopted children for a while to meet the custody requirements? Work back from that date and find work in the US/other unspecified urgent relocation reason your family has to relocate, then submit your request to Montreal. Fill the form with all the information you already have. Keep a running list of addresses, dates of birth, names, etc., in a text document. You will be able to copy and paste the details if the forms get updated until then. Everyone wants the process to go faster. Right now it looks like you are trying to cut the line by fishing for possible shortcuts [again, this is my perception - it does not mean that you do not have very valid reasons to want to relocate ASAP that would get your DCF request approved, just that you will need to be more articulate on the WHY it is essential for you to move back]. Maybe a lawyer could help you present your request clearly? I understand your desire for privacy, but people here are only able to help with the information you provide. I have seen users help others work on letters/list of supporting documents before, but you would have to provide more details (even if they are not 100% accurate) so that the logic of your request is understood by others. To answer your last question, filing directly with the consulate does not mean an automatic approval at the interview. They might refuse the visas until more documents are provided, further security checks are done, or even deny them for serious reasons (fraud, misrepresentation, etc.). Montreal is incredibly slow [8+ weeks is the norm] to issue visas if anything has to be provided after the interview, so you will want to make sure you have the correct version of each and every document and form you need. Don't create your own delays.

They might still ask about tax returns since you had to report worldwide income. Also, the domicile part of the form, they'll certainly ask if you are planning to establish a real life in the US. If you want to speed up the process, don't underestimate what they'll ask. Be ready and proactive about what you can control. Anything submitted after the interview will add weeks/months to the process.
