Need Help! - How does one get details of Travel into the USA and other countries visited??

[MTLNB 0]

Saylin,

It looks like there are only 2 forms to fill out for the CR1-is that possible or am I misreading?

I was wondering if I could get married in a civilmarriage in the US when I'm down for a weekend and then return back to Canada and then start the process when we get the marriage certificate...do you think that'd cause problems? Right now I'm going down on I-94 forms every 2 weeks having to get a new one every time because I've had issues.

There are definitely more than just two forms to fill out. For the I-130 petition, there's a G-325A that must be filled out by both parties, and then an I-130. At NVC, there's an AOS package which includes the I-864, filled out by the petitioner, and then the IV package, and coming from Canada, you fill out the DS-260, which is done online. So, four forms in total, with many documents as well.

And yes, you can do that. That's exactly what I did. I came to visit my husband in the summer of 2010 and got married in a courtroom with just his mom and grandmother there as witnesses. After my return to Canada and first denial, we filed the I-130 package.

Wow! I didn't even realize that was a question on those forms... haha... I'm going to have trouble with that one too, since my parents have had a home in Florida since I was 8 years old! I've been going down at least 2-3 times a year since then. My only saving grace will be that I am constantly taking pictures, so I can probably figure out the dates from my photo folders... but definitely not going back 10 years!

Just look at the link I posted earlier. I had the same problem as you; I was visiting Florida at least once year for a few weeks since I was a baby! All you need to do is write down around the most recent 10 visits and just include a paragraph similar to mine on the additional sheet.

Yep, I saw that... very helpful!

I think I'll also have to do the same thing for my work, because I mostly work short contracts, so there won't be nearly enough room to describe all the places I've worked in the last 10 years! (On the I-129F I just submitted an additional page with my resume on it)

That should work as well for your employment. Just list the most recent ones then include a paragraph. As the beneficiary, it should be fine. The US doesn't seem to care about your employment history (as long as it was nothing illegal or bad).
