Canadian Wife questions

[lynnmatic 0]

Me- USC

Wife- Canadian- not qualified for Nafta quickie visa

Residing in Canada- Vancouver Island

Jobs waiting for both of us in US with my present employer- I plan to

go on down and work while She waits on the process to get Her Visa

I have read on VisaJourney.com about the K-3 visa, which seem the best

course for us.

We can submit the I-130 petition at the Vancouver US consulate, no

problem.

Questions:

Would the IR-1/CR1 be the better path for us????

Can my wife join me in the US while waiting for the packet from

Montreal??

What is the quickest way to get Her an EAD and SS card so She can work

with me in the US

Does She have to interview in Montreal, or can it be done at another

immigration office???

Thank you in advance,

lynnmatic

I went the K3 route took overall 8 months. she cannot come into the US while it is being processed. There is no quick way to do anything with these pple ! she will be doing it in Vancouver I was in Edmonton and I went to Vancouver. Hope this helps.

Since the USA citizen is residing in Canada, they can possibly DCF

Regarding your husband travelling to the USA, IT IS still possible to visit. This topic has been covered numerous times here on VJ and what it comes down to is the POE officer!! Yes some have been denied entry while others have not. I travelled from DC monthly while the process was ongoing and never had 1 single problem, but that my experience. Ensure he was proof of ties to canada (employer letter, apartment lease, return ticket, etc)

I'm sure DCF is much faster, i thought I read on here that it took some one 3 months. there is a Cdn section the DCF forum, you might find your answer there. When 1 DCF I believe its either cr-1 or ir-1 (no K3) and if that is the case, Montreal is the only place that conducts the interview!!

Thanks so much for the good info. I have moderated a similar discussion board for USC's coming up to Canada,

and I know how repetitive the questions get! Thanks for your patient responses.

I think we will pursue the DCF with the cr-1 or ir-1. I plan to present the Vancouver consulate the I-130 petition later this week.

Thanks
