My husband (petitioner) changed his address with USCIS since he had recently moved. Our I-130 was approved in March/14. Since we had been calling NVC regularly with no case number or file, we were informed that USCIS had thought my husband changed my (beneficiary) address to that I live with him. Due to this our file has been sent to god knows where (Not NVC) and we have to wait 60 days for them to get our file from records and get it sent back to them. They have also indicated that we may have to fill out an I-824 form...which will cost another $405!!! Has this happened to anyone else?! So frustrating!

Thank you CanGirl. I will be doing this first thing on Monday!

My NOA2 was approved on March 3, 2014 and we still do not have a case number. NVC told us to scan and email our approval letter to them. We did that 5 days ago and once we called NVC they told us it will take them awhile to find out. How much longer?

What do we do for the I-864 form if the petitioner has not filed taxes in a couple of years? He makes enough to support me but he has not filed his taxes recently.

Yes I am going to go to a different licence bureau, I found one out of town that said they will take a certified copy.

Thank you for your replies, definitely helped!

Well they told me they want an original copy, not a photocopy. They also told me because it is stamped Good only in Wood County (which is where we were married).

I was going to change my driver's licence and health card.

The only other option I have is for a legal name change which I would have to change my name on my birth certificate, which I do not want to do.

My husband and I eloped at an Ohio courthouse. He is American and I am Canadian.

I went to change my last name in Ontario, Canada and they will not let me change my name because I only have a certified copy of my marriage certificate. Also the copy states only good in Wood County. That is all that Ohio sent us when we ordered our marriage certificate. I called the Ohio court house and they tell me that is all they give out because they keep the original copy on file.

What am I supposed to do? Canada will not accept it and Ohio will not give me anything else. I need to change my name because I applied for my I-130 with my husband's last name.

Any advice will be appreciated at this point.

What can we use as evidence of a bonafide marriage. We do not have joint ownership or property or a lease or co-mingling of financial resources. This is something we will do once we live together, not in separate countries. We also do not have any children.

What does it mean by affidavits sworn to or affirmed by a third party with knowledge of our marriage...Is a simple letter not good enough from a third party?? How would I go about doing this?

What other documentation could we use to establish there is an ongoing union?

Thank you!

My husband and I just got married in the USA last week. He is American and I am Canadian. We are about to begin the process for the CR-1 Spouse Visa. Am I still able to go into the USA to visit as his wife before we start the process? What about after we begin the process?

I am a Canadian citizen. About to marry my boyfriend. Once I get all my papers to become a permanent resident in the United States can I live in the U.S.A and still work for the Canadian government, and commute back and forth?

I am a Canadian citizen. About to marry my American boyfriend. Once I get all my papers to live over there is it possible for me to live in the U.S.A and still work for the Canadian government and commute back and forth?

So all the K1 does is allow me to live in his home for 3 months? Then when we get married I have to apply to more forms? Am I able to work then? Am I sent back to Canada until all that goes through? How does this work? Someone please help me?

I am so confused with this K1 visa if anyone could help it would mean a lot because immigration and customs were not trying to help me at all. I have been reading to be eligible for this visa you have to have met your fiance within 2 years prior to filing, so does this mean I am not eligible for this visa since I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years? Also how long can this process potentially take before I can move to the U.S. (Im Canadian, boyfriend is American). Also how much does this cost approx. and I dont understand either, how long before I can work? Also someone was talking about with this visa having to be apart for a year, is this true? If anyone could help me I would appreciate because like I said immigration was rude and not helpful at all.

I am a Canadian citizen. My boyfriend is an American. I would like to move over to Michigan and start a life with him and potentially get married. But right now I would just like to get over there and move into a place with him. Im not sure where to even begin. Any websites or suggestions into finding a job over there. I have a Bachelors degree in Sociology and Criminology and I could use all the help to begin my process. Also how hard is it to find a company willing to sponsor a Canadian?
