You need to read up on The Hague convention, if she is issued a visa, unlikely but mistakes happen, that will not release you from possible action.

 

Are you working in the US or Canada?

 

Thank you, I will readup on the Hague convention.

I (petitioner) work for a US company.

I'm back and forth since it's a remote job. When there are physical meetings, I attend those in person in the US. Otherwise, my company classifies me as a full time remote worker.

You are under a US contract and paid in USD

It is an "at-will" contract. They can fire/lay me off anytime. And yes, I'm paid in USD, have W2, etc.  I can leave the company any time but I cannot due to my family obligation with my Canadian wife and kid. My kid doesn't want me to "work" anywhere else since she wants me "home" every day. Hence, I'm "stuck" working for my current company so that I can spend quality/valuable time with my kid.  Eventually, once she is 12+ years old, she won't care much about me if I'm home or not then I'll go find a new job/city.

Well, I guess we're going to wait this out after the interview. If denied immigration due to that sole reason (needing court permission for the child to immigrate) then we will initiate a court proceeding immediately. We don't want to wait for her to turn 18, we'd rather have this resolve before she starts high school in the US.
 

 

If he would give written consent this can save any delays. It doesn't need to be anything fancy. I fully understand the frustration, my older kids were 10, 12, 14 & 16 I needed permission for all 4, but like I said my lawyer didn't trust my shady Ex and had his permission letter turned into a court order. 

Good luck!

Fingers crossed, I've given the father notice to discuss consent/permission to the move.  He stated that he will "discuss" it with us when he comes to pick up the child this Friday (his weekend). I guess it's not an outright NO. However, I'm sure there will be some sort of demands as part of that discussion.  Either way, I'm prepared to shell out for a family lawyer to obtain a court order/consent decree.

 

The father rarely follows the seperation agreement anyways. There were requirements for him to keep a life insurance policy,  when to pay child support and how much child support to pay. Per the agreeemnt that he signed, he was supposed to show us his tax return each year but he never does and threatens to quit his job and work under the table when we ask for it.  Thus, the child support payment has been "stuck" at whatever amount per his salary from 2019.  He's never been easy to deal with and doesn't think the law applies to him.

I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed for you all.

My Ex liked to play victim so we never seen or heard from him. Because you know being in his kids lives would make him not a victim.
