I'm really not sure, it is a lot less complicated if you are already in the US but it sounds like you're not there at the moment. It is unfortunate your husband is not being supportive at this time, my best piece of advice is to see if you can hold on till the paperwork pulls through before you make any drastic decisions, I do think it would be hard to process the application without his support even though you have been married a while. I am very sorry for what you are going through though and hope things get better. If things are that terrible and you need options, I think you should try and get legal advice, there are lawyers who will charge 30 dollars to answer an immigration question, if you are able to do something like that, I would recommend it so that you have your options if things don't work out.

Again, I'm sorry, I hope for the sake of you and your child things go well.

Urm....I would imagine the answer to your question is quite straight forward.

Leave him.

No one should put up with that. Pack your stuff, and head back to Canada, and get on with enjoying your life and not living in misery for the rest of it.

Ask A Lawyer.Com for $30 bucks is not a Answer. (For one question) Pay $100.00 to talk to a real in person Immigration Attorney for a half hour to 45 minutes.

As far as immigration, NO you have no rights, your child might have rights to his USC. You have rights in your country to try to get support for the child. But there is NO LAW on the books, that says a husband must migrate his wife to the US.

The threat of Child Support always gets a mans attention.

Thats for you to decide what is best for yourself and child.

Usually the fact that you can't get a passport for a USC child / remove them from the country without both parents permission gets the immigrants attention.

The child has two parents.

Life is like driving a car. If everything looks good ahead The light is green. "give it alittle gas".

If theres a yellow light, "proceed with caution".

If : "ITS RED """""STOP""""..

Deep down inside a human, it is mean. When they know your weak point they will take advantage of it. If you think about your future, you can yield to him until everything is done. If you think dignity is more important, then good bye this mean husband. Pitiful, there is no solution for you because there is no law to tie him with sponsoring your AOS. Good luck.

i sense something else is going on - it takes a large step to threaten on immigration papers.

Can tell us any backstory ?

Baiting in any form is a TOS violation. Please refrian from baiting or personal attacks.

The child has two parents.

If a court awards joint custody, getting a passport will be in the court order. That aside though, its dangerous for either parent to try to use child support and custody arrangement as bargaining chips.
