Visa question

[SKluvSH 0]

Just like many of us, I am waiting for the holy grail of USCIS or NOA2. In my case I have a way that I can see my wife every weekend if she gets canadian visitor visa. She has a brother who is currently working in Vancouver BC and I live in Portland OR. So if she gets there I can drive 5 hrs every weekend to see her.

I take K3 out of picture since it can be issued in the country where marriage took place which is India. So the question is once she gets the NOA2 for I130 approved,

1) can we able to do CR1 process at US consulate in Canada where she would be visiting? If this is not possible we always have the backup plan to have her go back to India where our K3 and CR1 visa will be processing.

2)Also would we need the Police report of living in Canada for our K3 and CR1 visa?

3) if this all be possible that she comes to Canada, would she be able to cross border legally for a weekend visit to me?

4) If she does cross border somehow (legally of course), will this become a problem for her immigration to USA on K3 or CR1?

I will appreciate responses. Thanks

first of all she cannot apply in canada as only permanent residents of canada can apply here or someone having legal status like a work permit or student permit can apply here in canada for cr1 visa.

2] she needs police clearances from countries where she stayed 6 months and above after she was 16 years old , so i think she will not need one as she cannot stay beyond the 6 months.

but in some cases eventhough you leave within 6 months and coem back again within a short period then the accumulated time will become 6 months or more and i will not be worried as she is female and they let it go in mostcases if visa applicant is female , but there is always a slight chance.

just try continuing with tthe peocess in india as it is faster and also trying to change consulates is not possible as the nvc will decide and not you.

i hope this answers someof your questions.

You are trying to cut corners.. Why dont you wait in line like the rest of the people? Getting a Canadian Tourist Visa is just as time consuming as getting an approval/denial from NVC/USCIS for your US petition as mentioned above...
