Preparations to Move

[AH&J 10]

Hi, 

I'm petitioning for my husband to immigrate (CR-1); we are waiting for our case number from the NVC.  Our priority date is March 7, 2017.   I'm very surprised at how long the wait has been.  

I was wondering if anyone here has actually listed their home for sale after their I-130 has been approved... perhaps sometime during the NVC waiting period / process.  Or, if they wait until after the case complete and successful interview at the consulate.  I know we are advised not to sell our homes or quit our jobs until final clearance, but still thought to ask.  

Thanks in advance.

you are living in Canada?

you are the USC  

if you are living in Canada you can sell and move back to US as you are suppose to have US residency for this CR1

and he can stay with family or hotel or an apartment or house till it is ssold

they say to the immigigant do not sell or make changes ( as the process drags out) no to the USC

 

if you are living in US and want to sell ,  just notify immigration when you change your address

Hi, Thanks.  I'm not sure I understand and would appreciate further clarification; I'm a US Citizen and my husband is Canadian, and we both reside in Canada.  Does this mean our case is a CR1?  If not, which category (so I can update my VJ profile).

IR  CR1 visas are both spouse visas.. tbe difference being that if the marriage is less than 2 years when the immigrant enters the US, it will be CR, as it is conditional and requires removal of conditions after 2 years, and is then unconditional.

If the marriage is longer than 2 years on entry, the vis is Ir 1, and no removal of conditions is needed.

Your timeline states you bave been married since 2005, so your spouse will be granted the IR 1 on entyr into the US...  But the process, forms etc for the application re the same for IR and CR. 

Thanks so much!!  So, spouse is IR 1.
