DCF in Canada, how long do you have to be PR?

Here I am, just got my PR and already we're talking about our return to US in '07. What I would like to know, in the sticky thread about DCF/Canada (yes Virginia...), it says you "may" need to be a resident for one year before being allowed to DCF.

The US Consulate website doesn't state any rules regarding the length of residency for the USC. I am wanting to know if we can apply say, in January 07 knowing that it'll take X amount of time to get the interview, thus putting in our one year here (we signed a lease for one year).

Or would I have to wait until the year is up as resident and then apply, plus the 6-8 months wait for interview? Lemme know, thanks a bunch.

The scuttlebut is that you have to be a PR for at least a year before they'll take the I-130. But I'd try anyways... the worst that they can say is no and tell you when you can apply...

Hmm, I'm going to call toronto today, if they have that provision we can just file the regular old way to Vermont, as I've read. Since It's taking so long, it'll prolly take almost the full year anyway as we'd want to do the cr-1....

thanks zyg! I'm going to change my signature to read "permanently doing immigration processes"
