I'm about ready to snap!

Vice Consul at the US Embassy in Ottawa (Canada) did some research on my case because my I-130 was approved but not my son's. We want to go to the K3 route.

Vermont wants my son's long form birth certificate, they said they sent an RFE on May 15th, but we haven't received it. I can't call the 1-800 for Vermont in Canada.

Anyways, I married my USC husband 6 years ago in the USA. We lived in Canada then ... but he has since accepted a position in Texas and is there.

Anything I can do as far as adjusting status in the US, say in July since I was married in the US?

Silly question ... but I'm becoming VERY impatient with the process.

My husband has dual citizenship with Canada and the US. He was born in the US but has lived in Canada for 30 years. We've been married for quite awhile. We have a 15 year old son.

I'm about ready to snap!

I am the CDN, husband is the USC. We were married 6 years ago in the USA. We lived in Canada then ... but he has since accepted a position in Texas and has moved there (March 2007).

My son and I have filed I-130s and an I-129F. I would prefer to go the K3 route.

Vice Consul at the US Embassy in Ottawa (Canada) did some research on my case because my I-130 was approved but not my son's.

Vermont wants my son's long form birth certificate, they said they sent an RFE on May 15th, but we haven't received it. I can't call the 1-800 for Vermont in Canada.

Question - We are going to Texas in July to visit my husband. Is there anything I can do as far as adjusting status in the USA, because we were married in the USA instead of waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... for a K3?

Probably a silly question ... but I'm becoming VERY impatient with the process.

Where you married doesn't matter. You can't adjust status in the US because you don't have a K3 visa yet. Of course you can visit while you wait.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

you'd only be eligible to adjust status if you had done it immediately after you married in the US and if you had stayed then. Married 6 years ago and living in Canada...sorry, no. :(

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

She's asking if she can adjust status while visiting rather than applying for a visa (I think?)... and as far as I know, the answer to that would be 'no', regardless of how long you've been married or where you got married. :)

2005 - We met

2006 - Filed I-129F

2007 - K-1 issued, moved to US, completed AOS (a busy year, immigration-wise)

2009 - Conditions lifted

2010 - Will be naturalising. Buh-bye, USCIS! smile.png

and to expand on this answer... it would be really really dodgy given intent at entry and the fact that you already have cases pending.
